10th Sep 2012 | Posted by Eko S. | 12 CommentsSearch-engine optimization is an important part of building a successful WordPress site. You have to include relevant keywords in your blog posts, title tags, meta descriptions, and other page elements. And that’s just a start!
It can be difficult to keep up with all the aspects of your SEO strategy to ensure that you are taking advantage of every opportunity to rank your site higher. Fortunately, there are some great plugins designed to make the work of optimizing your site for search engines easier.
Here are 5 great SEO plugins you can use to better rank your WordPress site in search results:

This handy plugin automatically links keywords from your blog posts to other posts and pages already published on your blog, helping you to increase your internal linking. You can also use the plugin to find opportunities for affiliate linking.

I have used SEO by Yoast and it is pretty good.My wordpress site has some errors that w3c validator found though. I don’t know how to fix them as it involves core wordpress files. I also have sites designed on concrete5 and joomla and would like to find similar SEO plug-ins for those. WordPress is well catered for SEO tools.

My personal favourite on your list Yoast SEO. I would have included W3 Total Cache. I recently started using it together with Automize is amazing for page speed.
