Headspace2 SEO Plugin For Wordpress

Many of you may not know this, but aside from running Blogging Emergency, my other life is that of an SEO consultant.  So as you can well imagine, an SEO plugin for Wordpress is of paramount importance to me, my sites, and those of my clients.  I’ve tried 3 or 4 different plugins, and every time, I come back to HeadSpace2.

HeadSpace2 is simple to use, and provides a reliable mechanism to change meta data on a per group basis, or on a finer grained per-post basis.

Titles of a page are about as important as important gets in SEO, so making sure that each page has the right title is important, but sometimes one doesn’t have the time to create a title every time, so a generic backup title is in order, and HeadSpace delivers beautifully.

You can set defaults for the following groups of Wordpress writings:

• Global (default if nothing else fits)
• Homepage
• Posts
• Pages
• Categories
• 404 (not found)
• Search Pages
• Tags
• Archives
• Authors

And besides title tags, HeadSpace2 allows one to modify data for:

• Tags/Keywords
• Titles
• Description
• Site Name
• Site Description
• Custom ‘More Text’
• Noindex & Nofollow Tags
• Robots.txt
• Custom Themes
• Custom Plugins
• And More!

There is also the ability to use some advanced features like Google Analytics, though I’ve never used any of the advanced solutions.

For the most part, I just use the defaults in case I forget to set a title tag and description, and use the text boxes inside of each page and post that reminds me that I need to add the proper title tags to each page and post.

HeadSpace2 gets two thumbs up from me, as I’ve found it easy to install, and use.   And having used it for more than a year, I’ve seen the plugin continue to be supported by the author, which is another huge bonus to have plugins continue to be supported by the author.  If you have a chance to, I highly recommend that you stop by the  HeadSpace2 site, and drop a few dollars his way to let him know you find his plugin useful as well.
