SEO Page and Site Optimization with Wordpress – Part Two
By
Well I’m continuing my three Part series on Page and Site Optimization with Wordpress. Today I’ll discuss a few more Wordpress plugins that can help your SEO but are little known.
SEO Friendly Images
SEO Friendly Images is a Wordpress plugin that will automatically update your new images with the correct ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have (ALT and TITLE) already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them based on the options you set in the settings. This will also make the post W3C/xHTML valid.
ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your image to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.
TITLE attribute will have a lessor role but is important for visitors as this text will appear in the tooltip when mouse is moved over the image. It can actually be quite verbose if so chosen. In fact as an example, check out the image I have in the upper right hand corner of this post.
SEO Smart Links
SEO Smart Links searches for keyword phrases that match the titles of your posts and pages and these phrases are then turned into the links. You also have the option of creating links for your tags and categories. The matching is case insensitive and the original case is preserved. There are examples in the first paragraph of this post. The words Site Optimization and Wordpress plugins are also links to tags of this blog.
Everything happens transparently and you can be edited in the options from the administration settings panel.
SEO Super Comments
The complet concept behind this plugin is presented in Presenting SEO Super Comments Concept which explains it in much more detail.
For each user comment that gets created a new dynamic page on the blog, holding the actual comment information will be generated. This page will not actually exist in the database, but will be created dynamically using this WordPress plugin.
This then makes the site’s comments visible to search engines. This is possible because blog comments are crawlable, indexable and rankable content! So by just implementing this plugin, your comments will get crawled and indexed.
All three of these plugins are written by Vladimir Prelovac. You can check out his site at www.PRELOVAC.com
I will finish up with the plugins I now use for SEO within the next couple of days. Till then, have a remarkable day!

Interesting plugins, SEO Friendly Images is awesome plugin, but other two I have not seen before. I know Vladimir sure knows his SEO and WordPress, so I’m guessing the other two are as good as the first
The smart links only looks for post and page titles, so you can’t define custom phrases for it? For example, it’s not possible for you to autolink to this post with “site optimization” for example?. I’m often not trying to rank with categories and/or tags, but that function seems useful for those that do.
The super comments is the one that really caught my attention. Have you seen any results with it? E.g. incoming traffic that land on a “comment page” that the plugin created?
