Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin
September 8, 2009
I got an offer of a free SEO plugin, and thought I’d try it out on a new, not-yet-launched site and see what it does.
The plugin is called Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin for WP. Once you’ve installed it on your site, it recommends the best plugins to download for SEO purposes. (It’s so easy to add plugins with the latest versions of WordPress – you just click on “add new” under Plugins in the Admin panel, type in the name of the plugin you want, and install it.)
The cool thing for a lot of non-SEO people, besides the guidance on plugins, is that it will then configure all the plugins’ settings for best SEO results. This is great if you’re not sure which ones to use and then how to set them up properly.
I already have everything it recommended on all my sites, with the correct settings, with one notable exception. It was a plugin I didn’t know about and it’s a good one. (Nope, not gonna tell you! You’ll have to download Jeff Johnson’s plugin and see for yourself.)
This plugin certainly does no harm to a blog or site, and can be quite helpful, so I definitely recommend it. There’s no malware, or secret settings that send your Adsense money to him, nothing like that. If for some reason you don’t like the settings you can change one or set everything back the way it was.
To get the plugin you have to join Jeff’s newsletter. I’m happy to report I haven’t been inundated with emails, which happens sometimes when I sign up for something. Instead, he promises emails over the next few weeks with tutorials and more free tools. I’m looking forward to seeing what he has to offer. Sometimes just one tip can make all the difference in how well a web site ranks and draws traffic.
I don’t recommend things lightly, and I’m pretty cynical about the myriad offers online. But this is one that could be helpful to you, it’s free, and it does no harm.
Speaking of newsletters, if you haven’t subscribed yet, be sure to subscribe to mine right away. I’m preparing my first newsletter, and I’m including a really good SEO tip that helped one person get to the #1 position on Google for a very nice keyword phrase.
