A few days ago I bought the SEOPressor WordPress plugin for the ridiculous price of $4.97*.
This is what it does – it analyzes a post for a keyword phrase and applies a percentage score (out of 100) to the post. The higher the score, the better chance the post has of ranking for the keyword phrase you have chosen.
The plugin is available on the Warrior Forum. The price of $4.97* is a pre-launch special (a WSO – Warrior’s Special Offer) and is only available for a short time.
I have used it on a few of my posts and have seen some of them jump from 10% optimised to 48% optimised. I achieved this with just a few simple tricks such as bolding text, more instances of the keywords, alt tags and header tags.
48% might not sound like much, but the author of the plugin, Daniel Tan (aka SEO Guy) says it uses a very complicated algorithm and an average score is around the 35% mark.
This is what Daniel has written in a forum post. It’s in response to another poster saying one of their posts had scored 57% but he wanted more:
57% is a good score already! In fact, I target only 35%. It is quite hard to get 100% without going crazy, on most production posts, you can’t really get more than 80% without getting awkward with your post, unless you are putting up a 1,200 word article.
It won’t do the work for you
This is the only downside to the plugin. It tells you the score, but it won’t tell you what to do to improve it. What it does do is automatically add bold, underlines and italics to some instances of your keyword (you can see it in action in the post – optimised for SEOPressor WordPress Plugin). After that it is down to you to tweak your post to improve the score.
I found the following worked well:
- Alt tags on images
- Title tags on images
- Header tags – h1, h2 etc
- Instances of your keyword in the first and last paragraph
I am a big supporter of paid for WordPress plugins. I have no problem paying for something that works, and this does. It won’t do everything for you, but it will help you along the way.
*SEOPressor is now officially out of the pre-launch stage and is available for $37. Which is still a bargain.
