There are a lot of plugins people use for seo purpose but the plugin that i m calling the best seo plugin for wordpress is no other than "Search Engines" by "Luis Alberto Ochoa" , before this plugin i used several plugins for seo purpose but most of them failed to fulfill my need , or the one that were good were asking to buy the premium version coz the free version was limited to some functions , or some other plugins used for seo were good in functionality but the were very weighted plugins they put too much load on my server and make the site slow , so i don't need them , before 9 months i found the plugin "Search Engines" i try it and was very help full and cover a lot for my google search and help also in other search engines.
lets talk about some of its best features.
Gives you Full control on Document Title Formatting
Using this plugin you are allowed to fully control your document title formating , this area covers "Front Page , Post , Page media , category , post tags , Format autors , archives , Search and Error pages ".
you can use the following formating styles.
Title ,Blogname , Blogname seperator Title , Title seperator Blogname , Blogname seperator Label , Blogname Seperator Label Seperator Title , Lebel seperator blogname , Title Seperator Label , Title Seperator Label Seperator Blogname.
PS :- A separator is a symbol either ( | , - or > or may be a combination of symbols like ||) used to separate Title with the blogname.
example : HELLO POST | PAKISTAN
in the above example "HELLO POST" is the title of the page and PAKISTAN is the name of the blog , where the sign " | " separate the title and the blogname.
Custom Labels:-
You can specify custom labels for the following areas!
"Front Page , Post , Page media , category , post tags , Format authors , archives , Search and Error pages ".
I leave this portion for my own settings coz i don't need custom labels may some of you want to have.
Full Control Over meta Description:-
Like Document Title it give control over the meta description , meta description is an important part of seo , if you have meta description for your page search engine will use it similarly most of social media sites also use meta description for their descriptions for the links that are shared.
