Which SEO plugin to use?

(1/6) > >>

I've gone through a bunch of SEO plugins to get the descriptions of the images automatically added to the meta tag description and wasn't successful with that.

Now I have a SEO plugin installed is SEO Ultimate and all I can do is add the description manually for each image in order to get the image description added into the meta tags.

How do you do it in order to get optimal SEO results?

I would say: "none"

latest versions of wordpress are very well optimized anyway..

the most important thing would be to write unique titles and meaningful descriptions.. postname option in the permalinks section which symbiostock utilizes will create a nice url..

I would keep it as clean as possible..

I wanted to do what you suggest - use no SEO plugin whatsoever.

But when I run meta tag checkers on the product pages with my images on Symbiostock it won't display the descritpion that is shown on the actual page but not in the meta tags - so the search engine won't display the page with a description as far as I can tell.

I'm not a SEO Pro by all means - I heavily depend on Google searches to find out what makes sense and what is necessary and I found this tool:
http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html

in order to check my meta tags and search result previews for each of my pages. That's when I noticed that the raw installation of Wordpress wouldn't show me the image descriptions.

Maybe I'm just asking a stupid and unnecessary question but with this SEO plugin the page preview (for search engines) looks "good".

I highly recommend Wordpress SEO by Yoast - http://yoast.com/

This guy really seems to know his stuff, it's updated very frequently and has helped me hugely with improved SEO on www.microstockman.com

I will definitely be using it on my new Symbiostock site.

I agree, Yoast is great. I have it installed on my Symbistock testing site and it seems to work well with the theme so far. I used it on a few other sites with good results.
