SAN FRANCISCO, California – A WordPress SEO plugin is now available to help companies improve their visibility and ranking online.

 

The WordPress content management system, CMS, allows users to both easily create and manage a website. Now, WordPress is taking it a step further and has installed a search engine optimization (SEO) plugin that will help users improve their websites’ content.

 

Since its release in October, the WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast has been a huge success. It has already been regarded as the best plugin to optimize WordPress sites for SEO.

 

With a new partnership between Yoast and Linkdex, users will be able to ensure the success of their online marketing campaigns.

 

The Linkdex system came into the market at the beginning of the year and has become of the most easy-to-use applications for SEO help to date.  With the partnership, users of the plugin created by Yoast will have free usage of the Linkdex page optimization tool.

 

WordPress SEO plugin developer, Joost de Valk, and Linkdex cofounder, Matt Roberts, will be speaking about the tool in a webcast on May 13 at 11 a.m. PDT. During the webcast, they will demonstrate how to use the plugin and will answer consumer questions.

 

Those attending the webcast will also be able to schedule a free trial and demo of Linkdex’ SEO and page optimization tools.

 

“I’ve always believed that a large part of SEO should not be the job of an SEO manager or a technical team, but of the people writing a site’s content,” said Joost. “With the new Linkdex page analysis integration, we’ve taken direct SEO feedback on your copy to a whole new level. You can get a detailed analysis of your copy even before you publish it and, best of all, it’s completely free!”

 

John Straw, the founder of Linkdex, also commented on the partnership and has high hopes of the tool’s success.

 

“We can’t think of a better endorsement for the Linkdex SEO platform than for it to be incorporated into the Yoast plugin. For our approach to be validated by a developer of Joost’s caliber is a great honor for our product and technical development teams. This partnership also helps us achieve our long-term goals of repositioning SEO as a key business process for anyone with a website. Anyone who can use WordPress can use Linkdex,” he said.

 

The approach that Linkdex and Yoast have taken is rather unique. They have focused on optimizing specific pages on a site for specific keywords or phrases.

 

“Each page on a site should have a specific purpose,” explains Joost. “If one of those purposes is for that page to be found in a search engine, you should know which keyword you want it to be found for. Once you know that, you can start optimizing your pages.”

 

“In my plugin there’s a text box for the focus keyword, and most of the functionality revolves around you choosing and entering that focus keyword,” he continued. “You get a snippet preview of important SEO factors like page title and page description based on that keyword. This new page analysis function that I developed together with Linkdex uses that focus keyword. By seeing how the page you create is seen by search engines like Google and Bing as you create it, you can improve your rankings without needing technical skills.”

 

The page optimization tool is just one of the many aspects of Linkdex’ integrated suite. Also included are tools for keyword research, rank tracking, link building and even tools to analyze competitor performance. In addition, the system includes an SEO task manager that helps users by demonstrating step-by-step processes to ensure that a site is SEO optimized.
