    1. WordPress SEO by Yoast

Another popular plugin, WordPress SEO by Yoast is essentially a combination of many plugins wrapped into one neat little package. This plugin offers great functionality and SEO power.

WordPress SEO by Yoast is free to download and also gives users the ability to import data from other plugins they may be using, such as All in One SEO Pack.

    1. SEO Friendly Images

Most of us probably don’t give much thought to images giving a boost of visitors to our sites. Think again! SEO Friendly Images is a plugin that sends visitor traffic your way from searches in Google Images.

Since search bots can’t tell when you have images on your site, these pictures need to be labelled with alt and title tags. However, many people forget to do this or don’t bother doing it. By having these tags, your images can be more easily found in searches.

SEO Friendly Images will automatically label all of your images to be more search engine friendly. It’s great for all of you website pros who have thousands of pages with millions of images. Breathe a sigh of relief that you don’t have to do all that dirty work! Plus, it’s free!
