Secondly, I have a checklist and always install the Comment Luv, Keyword Luv, Top Commenters and DoFollow every time I install Wordpress on a domain.

I have a Wordpress blog bolted onto my "Plumbing" site and used an overlay template to make it look a little more unique. If you click on my name you will see the home page and can navigate to my blog by clicking on the "Comments" link at the bottom of the page. Caution: Do not get sucked into the SEO blog plug-in that Jeff Johnson promotes. It has a link back to his stuff in the footer of the blog. That link makes your blog look unprofessional I think. The best SEO overlay for Wordpress is Semi-o-Logic. It's an expensive upgrade, but worth the money if you're serious about SEO for your blog. Good tips on HTML tags and SEO for blogs!

I wanted to change the way I structured my links but thought it would be a pain to do it myself - well, I tried the platinum SEO plugin - changed the permalinks and checked my pages indexed in google and they all showed the new link structure. Don't know how it did that but I'm sold. I just switched to platinum SEO because of the automatic 301 redirects when you change your links.

This post was some time ago and things change fast. Is it still better than All In One or PlatinumSEO. I've tried AIO and Plat. Haven't tried wpSEO. I can't see a whole lot of difference, but I don't have enough experience to know which performs better. <abbr><em>Randy Reeds last blog post..<a href="http://www.pdhpublishing.com/introducing-sudokookcom/">Introducing Sudokook.com</a></abbr></em> Do you still recommend wpSEO?
