Search Engine Optimization (SEO in short) is one of the most important factors we all should take care of while running a blog or website. Indeed content is king and you write quality content but other than the quality content, there are so many factors that you should consider while setting up a blog and writing an article. However SEO is a broad topic of discussion, but here I will only tell you about the best SEO plugin that will help you maintain your WordPress blog SEO.
Suppose you’re not using a WordPress SEO Plugin. In that case, there may be various tasks you would have to do manually such as adding site title, description, post title and description, optimizing category and other archive pages for search engines, and more, so all these tasks may be a hassle for you. Still, an SEO plugin makes all these tasks very simple and hassle-free.
Moreover, as you would know search engines like Google hate the tactics applied for search engine optimization so you should ignore the plugins that provide extraordinary SEO functionalists and features.

The Best SEO Plugin I Use For AllUsefulInfo
For beginners, I would like to share a WordPress SEO plugin that I also use for this WordPress blog (All Useful Info). I know if you’ve a little knowledge about SEO plugins, you might be thinking about SEO by Yoast, but I don’t use it! So, what? Guys, I use a very simple and easily configurable WordPress SEO plugin called All in One SEO Pack!
Of course, when I started this blog, I installed SEO by Yoast WordPress Plugin and I really liked it because of its lots of amazing features like keyword density checker, etc. but on having a bad effect on SEO, I thought that by using this plugin I’m over-optimizing my blog and search engines hate it. That’s why uninstalled it and installed the new one i.e. All in One SEO Pack.
However, I can’t say that the SEO by Yoast plugin is a bad SEO plugin because many popular bloggers around the world consider SEO by Yoast, definitely when I installed that plugin there may have been a fault in myself.
But, after started using the All in One SEO Pack plugin, I found that my articles and website started ranking in search engines and even this plugin has no extraordinary features like keyword density checker, etc.

Yoast’s design never cut it for me. It always gets angry at me for points that are clearly there. I’m currently experimenting with the INK for All editor. So far, nothing but results.
Great..I think All in One SEO will be good for me too.
