I just got the new SEO plugin for wordpress called Scribeseo. It’s a paid plugin that analyzes the SEO on your blogpost and gives you great tips on how to improve your blog post.

The plugin is compatible with wordpress, but you need to have a theme that supports it. I use Thesis (The best, no contest.)

At a first glanze Scribe seems to deliver. Not really a surprise since the developer team include Brian Clark, the person behind the superpopular blog Copyblogger.

Some of Scribe’s features include:

  • Checking for custom title tags
  • Making sure you have the correct Meta description
  • Tells you how the bots are looking at your site
  • Does a keyword analysis of the words that you have written in your blogpost
  • Analyzes the keyword density in your blogpost

And a whole lot more of the techy stuff SEO-nerds love. ‘Cause let’s face it: SEO is a headache.

The whole reason I bought the software is to NOT have to think about Search Engine Optimizing my blog, but still enjoying the benefits of writing good content for the bots. I’m hoping that Scribeseo is my new virtual SEO assistant.Scribeseo results

And me, not being a huge fan of SEO, it’s a relief to be able to not focus on it – but focusing on delivering good content instead.

The reason for me not being a big fan of SEO is that I don’t believe that the top 10 results in Google is the most relevant to what I search for; instead, they are the most optimized. So the whole game with SEO for me seems to be rigged. Thank goodness for social media, so that we can get enormous amount of traffic for user filtered content.

With all the hoopla about SEO said and done, content is still king.

And there is an added bonus with Scribeseo, since it also takes readability of your blogpost into consideration, which is something new I have not encountered before. So it’s not just a Search Engine Optimization tool, its a write better blogpost tool.

But I think my new favourite feature is that it gives me the relevant tags for blogpost, so that I can just cut and paste them in. Timesaver times 10.

It’s early still, but I really recommend checking Scribeseo out.
