1. No-indexing Subpages of Archives – Best SEO Tools<\/h2>\n

Yoast realises that, by and large, people don’t want to jump straight on to your archive pages from Search Engine Result Pages. The SEO WordPress Plugin has rectified this error by not indexing subpages of archives. It sounds simple, but hardly any other WordPress SEO Plugin seem to have included this feature.<\/p>\n

2. Open Graph Meta Tags – SEO Plugin WordPress<\/h2>\n

Social Media is an increasingly integral part of SEO, so it sets Yoast apart as an SEO WordPress Plugin by including open graph meta tags. These tags make your post content types (images, data, author info, post excerpt) a lot more accessible to Facebook<\/a> and Twitter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Google Authorship Management – SEO WordPress Plugin<\/h2>\n

If you have an established presence on Google+ as a writer, this will be a useful feature of this WordPress SEO Plugin for you. On Yoast, you can implement Google+ authorship on your WordPress site, allowing you to maintain a consistent body of work and insure your followers stay up to date with what you’re writing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Permalink Tweaks – Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin<\/h2>\n

There is a section of this WordPress SEO Plugin called ‘Permalink Settings’ which helps you maintain clean permalink structures, optimising your SEO. The Yoast plugin also features a setting named ‘Redirect Attachment URLs to parent post URL’ which can reduce your duplicate content and thus improve your SEO.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

5. Breadcrumbs – WordPress SEO Plugin<\/h2>\n

Breadcrumbs are labels which show the user where the current page is located in relation to the whole structure of the site. They ensure better site navigation for your viewers and more efficient indexing for search engines. Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin makes adding breadcrumbs very quick and easy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. RSS Contents – Best SEO Tools<\/h2>\n

Are you tired of not getting credit for your hard work? Yoast allows you to adjust the RSS contents of your site, so that when scrapers publish posts on their sites directly off your RSS feed, they’ll be linking to your site by default.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
