I already told you about WPengineer.com, an exciting project with Frank, Micha und Myself. Today I talk about another very interesting project, which I started together with Sergej Müller a month ago.
I’m talking about wpSEO, a very popular WordPress Plugin in the German WordPress scene. Now we want to introduce this plugin to the international WordPress Community. We like to provide the WordPress users a great SEO plugin for their WordPress blog.
This plugin is free for private use. If you have a commercial blog or ad supported blog you have to pay a small license fee of $24,99 after a 10 days free trial period.
I think that is a fair price for the hard work and the amount of time we spend to create this plugin. If someone like to make money with their blog, then it is advisable to invest a little bit money in their blog.
wpSEO has a lot of functions which are more extensive than other popular SEO Plugins. But convince yourself and install wpSEO on your WordPress blog.
It is a lot fun to work with Sergej together and I hope we will have much more interesting projects to come up with.

Hello Alex,
i just installed the “All in One SEO Pack” plugin a few days ago on my blog. Would you mind explaining the key differences between that and yours?

Hey Oliver,
sorry for my late response, but there are quite a lot differences:
An included XML file with recommended options.
Export and import of settings
Use of manually entered metadata from “All in One SEO Pack”
Fully documented
Clean up after uninstall the plugin
WordPress 2.7 ready: Design and as well as technical
Position of meta data at top of the source code
Clean and user friendly interface
Safety conscious programming
Absolutely no additional database queries
Quick & Dirty: activate, import options, done!
Prompt adjustment to new WordPress releases
Continuous and professional further development
Great variety of preferences with more than 70 settings
Reliable and fast support via email
And many more features and advantages!
But I would suggest you should try it out and convince yourself, let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for the plugin.
Check also the screenshot, there you can see all settings you can make.

Thanks for your detailed answer.
I just installed wpSEO and already got the license key from Sergej and i’m quite impressed by the huge amount of options.
Is it possible to define a custom format for page titles or can i just use the pre-defined?
And a small “bug” (well it’s not a real bug but i don’t think it should work that way): If the question mark which links to the manual is in the same line as the checkbox, the checkbox changes its status if i click on the “?”. I would either change that behaviour or move the “?” in a new line.
Greets,
Oliver

Hey Oliver, my pleasure
To your first question, we will work on this to implement it into a future version.
The bug is fixed, thanks for pointing it out. It’s already included in the current download file.

hi, finally the custom fields used by wpseo for manual description, keywords and title are hidden from the post editor! however, wp_postmeta table still contains a lot of clutter from previous versions of the plugin, and editing old posts will still show redundant custom field information. the following mysql will fix this (i’m disappointed this wasn’t rolled into some kind of db-upgrade process for ppl coming from older versions):
delete from wp_postmeta where meta_key = ‘keywords’ and meta_value = ”;
delete from wp_postmeta where meta_key = ‘description’ and meta_value = ”;
delete from wp_postmeta where meta_key = ‘title’ and meta_value = ”;
update wp_postmeta set meta_key = ‘_wpseo_edit_keywords’ where meta_key = ‘keywords’;
update wp_postmeta set meta_key = ‘_wpseo_edit_description’ where meta_key = ‘description’;
update wp_postmeta set meta_key = ‘_wpseo_edit_title’ where meta_key = ‘title’;
