Somebody had to do it and Rajesh from Tech Bliss Online is the man to do it. Even though All in One SEO was the most downloaded plugin, I wasn’t quite impressed by it’s functions. Sure it took care of the basic functions, but it wasn’t versatile. There were so many other functions and features a real SEO plugin had to take care of, AllinOne SEO ignored many of them. There were some better plugins available like the Headspace one, but it was too complicated for new users of Wordpress.

Rajesh has the new Platinum plugin now, which is an improvised version of the AllinOne SEO plugin. It does everything that AllinOne was doing and also some extra cool features. I’d say that this one is more closer to the real SEO plugin I was talking about. It takes care of pretty much everything, a bit more advanced than a basic SEO plugin but easy to use as well.

Here are the features.

  • Optimized Post and Page Titles for search engines - Present in AllinOne SEO
  • Generates all SEO relevant META tags automatically - Present in AllinOne SEO
  • Helps you avoid duplicate content - Present in AllinOne SEO
  • Lets you override any title and set any META description and META keywords, for any post or page - Present in AllinOne SEO
  • Compatible with most other plugins, like Auto Meta, Ultimate Tag
    Warrior and others.However you may have to disable All in One SEO pack
  • You don’t have to fear changing permalinks. If you are not
    satisfied with the current permalink, change it through
    Settings–>Permalinks in your admin panel, without worrying about
    loss of Page rank or google penalty.Platinum SEO plugin will take care
    of issuing a 301 redirect to the new location.This is a new essential
    feature, not present in All in one SEO - Absent in AllinOne SEO
  • Add index, noindex, follow or nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet,
    noodp, noydir meta tags to any post/page.These options are not
    available in All in one SEO Pack.Find out why this option to set
    post/page level Meta Robots Tag useful? - Absent in AllinOne SEO

The best part of the plugin is that it helps you to block certain pages like category, tags or any posts by Google, Yahoo and search engines by including “no index” tags at these specified pages/posts.
You don’t have to tweak Robots.txt hereafter, just select from the page as to which page/caegory is to be blocked or no indexed and the plugin does it beautifully.

So far I haven’t come across any glitches but the good thing is that unlike AllinOne SEO, Rajesh is available for support on this plugin. I would rate it a 4 our of 5 !

Cel mai misto tip din Romania on 30 June, 2008 at 6:13 pm

I’m using all in one SEO and I can’t say that there is any good reason for me to switch at this time.Is there any great use of this plug-in that should make me change my mind?


Rajesh Kumar on 4 July, 2008 at 6:21 am

This is what the doctor ordered..as you know I started a new WP blog !


Vasu on 5 July, 2008 at 4:02 pm

Why would one consider to leave Tags and Categories without indexing?


Mani Karthik on 6 July, 2008 at 6:14 am

We have some duplicate content issues with it Vasu. Check out other postslike on duplicate content and you will find out why.


Jacky Supit on 7 July, 2008 at 11:52 am

Tad Chef on 7 July, 2008 at 10:18 pm

Ooops. Error. His “account has been suspended”. Any mirrors?


Mani Karthik on 8 July, 2008 at 2:47 pm

Jacky, I run the platinum one on all my other sites. I am not keen on no indexing the pages here on DSB, its doing really well already the way it is. I might experiment it with any new projects though. Glad you asked the Q. :)


Techblissonline Dot Com on 10 July, 2008 at 11:35 am

My account was under hit due to some heavy traffic (as my host informed me) and brought it down…It is up now…and i have asked for an investigation…


Techblissonline Dot Com on 10 July, 2008 at 11:36 am
