There are hundreds of plugins available for WordPress SEO in the WordPress plugin directory and bloggers always get confused about which plugin to use and which not to. I have tried several SEO plugins and have observed how they work as I take a deep interest in SEO field so now I’m finally steady with few good WordPress SEO plugins and here I’m recommending those 3 WordPress SEO plugins which I think every blog should have.
3. SEO Friendly Images
SEO Friendly Images is a WordPress optimization plugin which automatically updates all images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.
2. Keyword Statistics
This plugin checks for the keywords and key phrases used in your articles and according to its density, it shows the most used keywords from your articles which you can directly use as your meta keywords.
The statistics are displayed as a block in the edit-page of your WordPress-Blog. Optionally you can filter the content by a language-specific stopword-list. It generates tables with information about the words/phrases used in the text more than one time, the number of occurrences and the various keyword-densities.
1. Yoast WordPress SEO
I prefer Yoast SEO over all in one SEO and even platinum SEO pack because this plugin combines all the other plugins like robots meta, Google XML sitemaps, breadcrumbs and moreover, it also has the option to import all settings from all in one SEO or platinum SEO plugin seamlessly and also allows you to edit your robots.txt and .htaccess file from within the plugin area itself.
Two of the above listed plugin are easy to install and configure but do check my article about how to configure Yoast WordPress SEO plugin. Hope these plugin will help you and do leave your comments and also let me know if you have any other plugin recommendation!
Dude, those are really some cool seo plugins that you have mentioned. I will try all of them. I think you could also add SEO Smartlinks which helps a lot in internal linking. Thanks a lot Rahul.
My recent post OIOpublisher Coupon Code – OIO Publisher Review
thank you! Well, I could have added seo smartlinks but the latest wordpress 3.1 has it inbuit
I would agree with Shiva. Yes, WP 3.1 Comes with Inbuilt search function. But I tried few searches & the results were not satisfactory. It gives priority to only latest posts in it's search function. Hope they solve this issue in the next version.

Some cool SEO plugins listed here, I don't like to add too many plug ins to a blog because I believe it affects performance. I use All in One SEO but definitely have a look at the Yoast SEO plug in.
