A user of SEO Booster PRO recently asked me how to list the links horizontally for implementing the list in the footer of his blog.
The solution is quite simple actually, it requires a bit of editing of your footer in your theme, and adding a bit of CSS code to your theme .css as well.
First of all, locate where the footer is displayed in your WordPress theme. Usually in the file named “footer.php”.
Add the following code:
<?php
if(function_exists('seoboosterpro_show_referrers')){ seoboosterpro_show_referrers('20',TRUE); }
?>
The top 20 incoming searches will not be displayed in the footer. Change the number to whatever you feel is best for your site.
The output is included in a div named “seoboosterpro”. To style this div and the list inside, you need to add the following to your .css file. Usually named “style.css”:
#seoboosterpro {
text-align: center;
}
#seoboosterpro li {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
padding-right: 5px;
}
Above css first addresses the #seoboosterpro div, and aligns all content to be centered. The second CSS decleration addresses the actual items in the unordered list, and makes sure they are not displayed as they normally would. To make them a bit more visually appealing, I added a 5 pixel margin to the right of each item, feel free to change as you wish.
The CSS styling changes does not override any other styling on your site, only what is displayed inside the “seoboosterpro” div which is outputted by the php-function.
Have any questions on how to implement this? Feel free to leave a comment, and I will also post a how to soon on how to implement this in a Thesis-powered website. Thesis Demo Site — See the Thesis Theme in action!

Hi,
I use it, and I love it!
But I have a suggestion.
Sometimes it add something like this (real case):
oculosraibanarmaçãopequena
(means: sunglassesraybanframesmall)
and this one:
onde comprar armação de oculos bonita?
(means: where I can buy glasses frames bealtifull?)
Is those case my sugestion is:
1) to limit a word size.
Ex: Smaller thant 10 caracters, and Bigger than 3.
2) to limit the frase caracteres.
ex: Max frase caracteres smaller than 30.
Ok?
This would be like a dream for me.
I really love this plugin!
Congratulations!
Worth a lot!
Best Regards from Brazil
My friends,
I’m having a big problem.
In portuguese, “armação” means “frame”.
I have a blog of eyeglasses frame, that’s how we call in brazil.
And the SEO booster is getting the word “armação” like “arma”.
It is not getting the accent, but worse, it desapear de “ção”.
So it get another word with a different meaning.
And “arma” means, “gun”, so people are typing, “see gun”, “gun factory”, “gun pics” and etc.
And this is being really bad, I’m atracting wrong people to my blog.
Could you please see this issue for me?
Thank’s a lot!
regards,
Fernando
Hi Fernando
You are quite right. I believe the database is set up with UTF8 encoding, but I will have to check and possibly change if needed. Do you know what encoding scheme fits with Brazilian? (if not, I will look it up, don’t worry
I can see how it could attract the wrong kind of visitors, have you added the keywords to the ignore list (as a temporary solution) so it will not display those keywords?
Yes, you are wright, charset=UTF-8.
But I don’t undersand, now looks like it is working well!
I changed some setings, and I think it’s perfect now!!
That’s great!
Just perfect!
That’s the best plugin I bought!
=)
Do you have any reply to de top comment I’ve made?
The sugestions…
Thank’s a lot!

Hello,
I’m having some hard time trying to exclude some frases from my seo booster.
So if I put just “cache:” it won’t be excluded, because there is no space after it.
So is there anyhow I put in the exclude list something like:
cache:*
or
cache:#
or
cache:%
I tried manyways, but couldn’t.
Please help!
best regards
Hi Fernando
The way the ignore list works is by EXACT name, no * is usable..
BUT!.. which version are you using of SEO Booster PRO? The latest versions have always ignored “cache:”, “site:” and “link:” etc… If it is from older versions before you upgraded, you can go to the SBP settings page, scroll down and find “database operations” … there are two buttons.. one of them cleans such searches, and the other clears the entire database.
MAKE SURE TO CLICK THE CORRECT ONE! READ TWO TIMES BEFORE YOU CLICK. THERE IS -NO- UNDO!
Please let me know if it does not work for you.
Ow my friends.
That’s sad.
I’m using aready ver. 1.7 and the cache:…still there…
It’s really ugly, for me it can ignore every frase with the word “cache”, what can I do?
thanks a lot
Hi friends!
I found out the issue!
I was putting the code in the footer, so many problems were happening.
Now I put the code below the_content and it worked perfect!
Is there anyhow to use the code of seoboosterpro_boostlist in the footer to show the single content seo search frases?
Thanks a lot!
Hi Fernando
I love problems that solve themselves without me looking
I was away from the computer for a few days, thank you for coming back and telling us its been fixed 
Anyway, about the footer. Hmm.. I am baffled why it should not work. As long as you put it BEFORE the
tag, it should not be a problem.Could that be a problem?
If not, drop me an e-mail (the contact page), with some more details, and I will take a look at it.
Hello,
So, please, write me in my email that shows to you, I didn’t find yours.
I think my problem is my theme is not well done, has nothing to do with you. but I need support.
Every time someone type something at google and goes to my 404 page, the frase is insert in the last post to boost.
What can I do? Please visit an single page in my website.
thanks a lot!
People, thank’s so much for all your work!
I found out a way of doing, and its so perfect!
I have a really nice thing to say.
Some times the software doesnt detect the “ranking changes”, but in thouse days that I have problems, some words that I was in 2 and 3 place, went down to 12 place.
So, now that we fix it, I’m so happy!
Because I know it works!
Nice job,
best regards from Brazil,
I recommend this for all!
