The SEO News Blog from Pat Marcello

I have spent the past couple of years touting the coolness of the All-in-One SEO Pack plugin for WordPress. This one lets you add a title and description to every post you make, which is super important for SEO. As I’ve mentioned here before, the title and description are the most important parts of any web page, and the benefit of being able to add these to every post you make is HUGE!

Then today, I was reading an article in SiteProNews, “Blogs, WordPress and Google,” by Scott Van Achte and I was curious. So… I headed over to Urban Giraffe, and watched the video:

So, I’m thinking I’ll give it a try. I installed it and then went in to tweak the settings. Wow! You can give a title and description to every KIND of page in your blog: categories, tags, about, even 404. Making each one individual is a great help for your SEO advantage.

And, as you see in the video, it will suggest tags and keywords for you from the post. Pretty cool, I’d say.

I’m going to try it for a few days and see how I like it. If it’s as good as it looks, it could be my new recommendation. So far, I like it!

After you make a post, you go down to the HeadSpace area, and click on Page Title. Your title automatically populates. It creates a description for you that you can easily edit. AND, it suggests tags from what you’ve written, too.

I think I’m in love.

   Hi,
   I’ve been waiting for a review of the HeadSpace plugin for almost an year. Please tell me if it’s better, I especially want to know if it’s faster than all in one seo pack (the PHP coding). Thank you and looking forward for your update.

   Hi Nicholas,

   As far as I can tell, Head Space 2 is MUCH more convenient. The description needs a bit of tweaking usually, but it’s a great start. Plus, you don’t have to think about the tags as much. It presents them for you to consider. It often gives me tags I hadn’t thought about, which is cool.

   I’ve deleted All-in-One in a couple of blogs already and replaced it with HeadSpace2. The only thing I can see that’s different is that you can’t add keywords. Yahoo still looks at those, but it’s not a very weighty issue. I don’t see it as a huge drawback.
