A little nifty additional thing you can use the log settings for (introduced in SEO Booster Lite 1.1) is to find potential posts/pages that could benefit from a boost.
The plugin lists the top 10 most searched terms, and lists them by order of visits/hits.
On one of my test-blogs I noticed a few posts that could benefit from a little external linkbuilding as well:
Top 10 Search Queries
If you look through the list, you will see a search term “downblouse videos“, which is currently on page 2 has received 42 visits anyway. That means if I work a little on getting more targeted external links to that page, I should move up, and receive a lot more traffic.
The same goes for “downblouse vids“, although its at page 3.
SEO Booster Lite only acts on the search queries that are on SERP page 2, it ignores everyone that is on page 1 or 3 downwards. The top 10 list is just what it is, a top 10, but it can give you an idea of what would be good to target next…
And finally before you ask, yes, this can also be automated, or I could change the logic of the plugin to take these factors into consideration.

Hecks yes. Great way to use this. So this logs all traffic, not just 2nd page traffic?
Hi Brad, thanks for your enthusiasm
Yes, it needs to log everything, to track when things go up or down.
Also, if you happen to notice a hit from a SERP page 8 or 10 or more, its a pretty safe bet that there is a scraper somewhere using that particular keyword. With a bit of nifty coding you could make the assumption that a visitor from SERP page 8 or more is presented something else entirely, as you know they are scraping the content and displaying it as their own.
Imagine being scraped for the keyword “best iphone deals”, but when you detect a visitor that seems an obvious scraper, you present him with different content, something you choose
So, in other words, an addition to the Pro version could be to present different content to scrapers. Just a thought
GREAT … this makes the plugin that more valuable!

Hi Darin
Glad you like it, hope it brings some value to you and your blog(s). Stick around, I have other plugins and tips planned for later
Great plugin, i implemented on my blog
Hi,
This looks like a great concept, but unfortunately the sidebar widget breaks my theme. Is there a php/tag i can insert in my theme that might make it work?
Thanks,
Dan
Hi Dan
Welcome aboard
Yes, there is. I recently answered a similar problem on here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/266442
You can use the following code to implement wherever you want in your theme:
< ?php
if(function_exists(’seobooster_show_referrers’)){ seobooster_show_referrers(’10′,TRUE); }
?>
The function accepts parameters, first ’10′, is the number of links to show, the second, TRUE or FALSE, is whether or not to include a backlink to mywordpress.com
Please note, I have just remembered that I have not tested this in version 1.4, the latest release. If you implement it, please let me know if it works properly, thanks
Hi again,
I tried it in the footer of http://www.helloboomers.com and it does not seem to work.
I am using the theme Magazine Basic 2.3.3 by c.bavota at http://tinkerpriestmedia.com
Any ideas

Hi,
I set it up below the page (in the footer file just before /body) on http://www.helloboomers.com and it does not seem to work as the code is showing.
Any ideas???
Thanks Dan
Hi Dan
I think the problem lies here:
< ?php
if(function_exists(’seobooster_show_referrers’)){ seobooster_show_referrers(’10′,TRUE); }
?>
You have a space between “< " and "?php" .. remove the space please.
Furthermore, make sure you are running the latest version of the plugin (currently 1.4), and remember that the list will not show until the plugin detects something to show. You can see that in the statistics part of the plugin (under Settings->SEO Booster Lite). (Remember to run the latest version of the plugin).
Hi again
- and thank you for the speedy reply.
Just to test the php I put it just before the in the footer of http://www.helloboomers.com
It does not seem to work.
cheers
Dan
Hi Dan
I can see you have it working now, in the left sidebar. I like your choice of WordPress Theme
