Also supports custom post types and custom taxonomies. * Customize your homepage's `<title>` tag. * Format the `<title>` tags of posts, pages, categories, tags, archives, search results, and more! * Choose between two rewrite methods: "output buffering" or "filtering" * **Meta Description Editor** * Edit the `<meta>` description tags for posts, pages, attachments, categories, tags, post format archives, and the homepage. * Increase SERP clickthrough rates by influencing search engine result snippets. * Mass-editor makes it a cinch to go back and add descriptions to old posts. * Use the `{excerpt::autogen}` variable to auto-generate meta descriptions if desired. * **Meta Keywords Editor** * Edit the `<meta>` keyword tags for posts, pages, categories, terms, and the homepage. * Easily specify global keywords that are applied across the entire site. * Go back and edit old posts' and pages' keywords with the mass-editor. * Automatically generate meta keywords based on categories, tags, custom taxonomy terms, and frequently-used words. * **Meta Robot Tags Editor** * Add the `<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />` tag to archives, comment feeds, the login page, and more. * Set meta robots tags (index/noindex and follow/nofollow) for each individual post, page, category, tag, and post type archive on your blog. Also supports custom post types and custom taxonomies. * Avoid duplicate content SEO issues with the recommended noindex settings (see built-in module documentation for details). * Give instructions to search engine spiders if desired (`noodp`, `noydir`, and `noarchive`). * **Deeplink Juggernaut** -- UPDATED in Version 6.7 * Use the power of anchor text to boost your internal ranking SEO paradigm. * Searches your site's content for anchor texts you specify and automatically links them to a destination of your choosing.

(Use a redirection plugin to point dead-end URLs to your content.) * Find out what URLs are referring visitors to 404 errors. * The default settings hone in on the most important errors by only logging 404s that either have a referring URL or are generated by a search engine spider. * If desired, ignore 404s generated from specific URLs or wildcard URL patterns. * **Linkbox Inserter** * Encourage natural linkbuilding activity by adding textboxes to the end of your posts/pages that contain automatically-generated link HTML. * **File Editor** * Implement advanced SEO strategies with the `.htaccess` editor. * Give instructions to search engines via the `robots.txt` editor. * **Slug Optimizer** * Increase in-URL keyword potency by removing "filler words" (like "the," "with," "and," etc.) from post/page URLs. * Lets you customize the "filler words" list as desired. * **Competition Researcher** * Investigate multiple keywords or URLs with quick access to search engine tools. Competition Researcher does this without illicit scraping/automation methods. * Find out how many webpages are competing for the keywords you specify. * Choose to analyze the keyword relevance in competing webpages' titles, body content, URLs, or anchor text. * Find out how many pages of a competing website are in Google's index. * Access competitors' incoming links profile. * Find out what external websites your competitors are linking to. * **More Link Customizer** * SEO your posts' "read more" links by including the posts' keyword-rich titles in the anchor text. * Override the "read more" link on a per-post basis. * Include `<strong>` or `<em>` tags in the anchor text if so desired. * **Internal Relevance Researcher** * Determine which of your webpages Google most strongly associates with the keywords you specify. * Use the information to determine ideal targets for incoming links or ideal sources of outgoing links. * **Code Inserter** * Easily insert custom HTML into your site's `<head>` tag, footer, or item content. * Use to add Google Analytics, Feedburner FeedFlare, Google AdSense section targeting, and other SEO/SEM-enhancing code snippets. * Code remains even when switching themes. * **Rich Snippet Creator** * Easily add rich snippet code to your review posts. * Attract more search traffic with eye-catching supplementary SERP data. * Can add code to old review posts automatically. * **Sharing Facilitator** * Adds buttons that make it easy for visitors to share your content on social networking sites (thus building links to your site). * Choose from either the ShareThis or the AddThis button. * Unlike the official ShareThis plugin, SEO Ultimate doesn't require you to register at the ShareThis website before enabling the button -- just enable and go. * **Webmaster Verification Assistant** * Enter verification codes in the provided fields to access search engine webmaster tools. * **Link Mask Generator** * Lets you generate robots.txt-blocked "link masks" (e.g. `http://www.example.com/go/google/`) that pass-through to an external URL. * Lets you mask links on a per-link, per-post basis so you can exert fine-tuned control over your posts' linkflow. * Lets you change `/go/` to a directory of your choosing. * Link masks provide a modern replacement for the deprecated, nofollow-based "PageRank Sculpting" technique. * Perfect for affiliate marketers and SEO-savvy bloggers. * **Nofollow Manager** * Lets you maintain `rel="nofollow"` settings when migrating from other SEO plugins * **Permalink Tweaker** * Lets you remove the permalink base for categories, tags, and/or custom taxonomies.
