Automatic blog posts tagging in wordpress 3.1
with (auto-tags) plugin to increase Search Engine ranking
There are plenty of articles, on how to increase search engine
ranking in wordpress and I'm sure this article might be not that
interesting but still I thought it might be nice to mention about
this 3 wordpress plugins Auto-Tags, SEO Slugs and Platinium SEO
Pack which will help you increase your traffic.
Let me say a few words for each of the 3 plugins:
1.
Auto-tags
Below is the description of the plugin directly taken from the
plugin website
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-tag/
This plugin uses the Yahoo.com and tagthe.net APIs to find
the most relevant keywords
from the content of your post, and then adds them as tags.
New for version 0.2: an options page allows to choose how many tags
are
retrieved from each service The tag adding is fully
automatic,
so if you're using a plugin like feedwordpress to display RSS
feeds
on your blog as posts, everything will get done as the feed
posts are published. No user intervention
necessary!
Here are the
installation instructions for auto-tags:
debian:~# cd /var/www/blog/wp-content/plugins
debian:/var/www/wp-content/plugins:# wget
http://pc-freak.net/files/auto-tag.0.4.6.zip

[14325/14325]
debian:/var/www/wp-content/plugins:# unzip auto-tag.0.4.6.zip
...
In the above example my wordpress installation is in
/var/www/blog/ , if your wordpress is installed in another
directory location change to the respective directory.
To activate the Plugin go to:
Plugins -> Auto Tags
Press over Activate to activate the plugin.
To configure the Auto-tags plugin navigate to:
Settings -> Auto tags plugin
Therein you can configure the number of post tags to be retrieved
from Yahoo, tagthe.net. The settings also allows you to disable
certain tags you don't want to appear in your post tags from the
field, Remove those tags (comman separated)
The plugin also has an option called Append tags to the ones
that already exist which on my wordpress 3.1 installation doesn't
work
After ending up your desired configuration simply press the
Update Options button.
