SEO Booster Lite 1.4

SEO Booster Lite v. 1.4 has just been added to the WordPress repository, and should start showing up on the network shortly as available for update.

In this version there are several new features and changes:

  • New interface (Thanks to the FeedStats plugin, which I dissected and analyzed and used a small snippet of JavaScript from.
  • Settings/options-page added.
    • Ignore Number-only Searches. By checking this checkbox, number only searches are ignored. (From now on, previous visits will still be in the database).
    • Ignore site:-searches. By checking this checkbox, visits using Google and Yahoo’s “site:”- search will be ignored. (From now on, previous visits will still be in the database).

  • Internal code updates, streamlining, speed issues, etc.
  • Better security added to the plugin, to prevent external tampering.

      Phew, so far so good :) Always good to hear that a new version is working “in the wild” and not only on your test-blogs :)

      And thank you for the link-love, much appreciated!

    Great plugin.
    I have a “new request”: when my page in second page of SERP is a search result page the plugin is catching the last post on my page as landing page. Is that right?
    I think the plugin should get the page that is appearing in SERP’s, in my case a search results page.

    Thank you!

    nice work, but i have one problem, when i download the file of the plugin the compress file only has a .txt inside it doesnt contain the plugin…

    Hi Oceanidas

    I shouldn’t have linked to the .zip-file the way I did. The way I use the SVN Repository does not permit me to link directly as I did. The direct link for version 1.4 is: http://downloads.WordPress.org/plugin/seo-booster-lite.1.4.zip

    (I checked and verified that it works).

    Apologies for that little error, I hope you will give it the plugin a go again :) I would love to hear feedback from you.

    Interesting plug in but how does it help boost SEO? what does it do to improve it? I’ll grab a copy to test on my site.

    I use the SEO all in one plug in but am always in search of other good potential SEO related plugins. Thanks

    I get the error:

    *.wp_seobooster’ doesn’t exist. How can i create this table? And where do i put it.

    Thanks

      Hi Paul

      That is because the plugin did not create the table it needs to store the data.
      It should be created automatically when you activate the plugin. Have you tried deactivating/activating the plugin again?

      Also, which version of WordPress are you running? It is only tested with WP version 2.7 and 2.7.1. (I also assume you are using version 1.4 of the plugin).

      Please let me know if it does not work.

  10. Paul / 04/05/2009

    Yes i’m using WP 2.71 and version 1.4. It does not create the table. The plugin has a conflict with kPicasa Gallery and / or DMSGuestbook. reactivating or re-installing does not work. If you could mail me the table… i could try again.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

      Hi Paul

      Thank you for pointing out the potential conflicts. (Sorry for calling them potential, but I have yet to check it myself).

      The database table is as follows:

      CREATE TABLE `wp_seobooster` (
      `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
      `PostId` int(11) default ’0′,
      `SeDate` datetime NOT NULL default ’0000-00-00 00:00:00′,
      `SeQuery` varchar(250) NOT NULL default ”,
      `SePage` varchar(250) NOT NULL default ”,
      `SePos` int(4) default ’0′,
      `SeHits` int(4) default ’1′,
      `SeRef` varchar(250) NOT NULL default ”,
      `LastChecked` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
      PRIMARY KEY (id));
