Sell&Sell SEO is the most complete SEO plugin that exists today. It incorporates everything from a snippet preview and page analysis functionality that helps you optimize your pages content, images titles, meta descriptions and more to XML sitemaps, and loads of optimization options in between.
Sell&Sell SEO Plugin features:
Post titles and meta descriptions
Sell&Sell SEO let’s you set templates for titles and meta descriptions for all types of pages, so you could come up with a template and not have to think about it, or you could use the Sell&Sell SEO meta box to completely optimize your post title and meta description, using the snippet preview functionality to see what it would look like in Google. Add to that the chance to enter a focus keyword, which is used to show you how it would bold in your search results, and you have the chance to control everything you want about your listing in Google
Robots Meta configuration
Whether you want to keep a single post or page out of the index, or you prefer to keep entire sections of your site unfindable: the Sell&Sell SEO plugin has your back. Hidden by default under the “advanced” button is a meta robots settings block that allows you to choose any setting you want on a per page basis.
But you could also choose to noindex a certain category, tag or custom taxonomy (or give it a unique title and meta description)
This works for all tags, categories and custom taxonomies.
Canonical
When Google introduced the canonical link element, to distinguish the “original” page from derivative pages within your site carrying the same content, canonical link elements were added to core. They work fine, with one caveat: they only work for single posts and pages, not for categories and tags, not for the homepage. The Sell&Sell SEO plugin fixes that, and sets the correct canonical on each of those pages.
Breadcrumbs
The Yoast Breadcrumbs code has been powering many (premium) themes breadcrumbs for ages. Using the same code, the Sell&Sell SEO plugin now gives way more granular control over this breadcrumb. You get to determine, for each post type, which taxonomy to show. You get to determine for each post, page and taxonomy, what title to use for that specific entity in the breadcrumb paths it appears in. Full control, that’s what this entire Sell&Sell SEO plugin is about.
Permalink clean up
Don’t you hate it when someone adds /2 to the end of a link towards you? Or links with all weird variables at the end of the URL? You have a solution now! Just checking one box will redirect all that stuff away, and make sure that your content is always found under the URL you want it to be found under. If you use a Google Custom search engine, checking another box will prevent that from breaking down while using this function.
XML Sitemaps
XML Sitemaps are an essential part of current day SEO, and can thus not be excluded from a complete Sell&Sell SEO plugin. While there are other XML Sitemap Generators out there, they don’t talk to your SEO plugin. Meaning that if you noindex a page, preventing it from showing up in Google, it might still be in your sitemap. They also don’t allow you to keep certain taxonomies out of your sitemap. This plugin does. And, to boot, it makes your XML Sitemaps look good by using an XSLT stylesheet on them, so humans can read them too.
RSS enhancements
My RSS Footer plugin used to allow you to add a piece of content to the beginning or the end of posts in your RSS feed. The Sell&Sell SEO plugin goes one step further and allows you to add content to both of them, allowing you to link back to your blog and the specific blog post, which is very helpful when you have a lot of people scraping your blog.
Edit your robots.txt and .htaccess
Editing your robots.txt and .htaccess files has never been this easy: you can edit them straight from the Files menu of the Sell&Sell SEO plugin, so you can easily check and or update those files and keep it all nice and clean.
Clean up head section
With recent releases, Sell&Sell has added more and more bloat to the <head> section of Sell&Sell installs. Luckily it also has methods to remove those. Sell&Sell SEO will strive to keep your head section as clean as possible.
