SEO Booster PRO v1.5 Released
This post marks the release of SEO Booster PRO v1.5
As I wrote in a previous post, this update has some really cool new features:
Boost title tags
Boost Title Tags
If this option is set, SEO Booster PRO will automatically add x of the incoming search phrases to start of your title-tag, which can boost your SEO ranking even more:
Before:
<title>Make yourself into a cartoon</title>
After:
<title>Cartoon yourself - Make yourself a cartoon - Make yourself into a cartoon</title>
Flexible PHP function for dynamic output
A new function has now been added to SEO Booster PRO.
The function is named ‘seoboosterpro_boostlist(), and is made very flexible to be used in a wide range of ways.
seoboosterpro_boostlist($before, $after, $beforeeach, $aftereach, $limit)
- $before : What to output before the list appears (default:’< ul>’)
- $after : What to output after the list appears (default:”)
- $beforeeach : What to output before each item in the list (default: ‘< li>< strong>’)
- $afterearch : What to output before each item in the list (default: ‘< strong>’)
- $limit : Maximum number of results to display (default: 10)
The function can be used to display the most popular incoming searches for a blogpost in a list before or after the actual post,
if(function_exists('seoboosterpro_boostlist')){ seoboosterpro_boostlist('&lt;ul&gt;','&lt;/ul&gt;','&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;','&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;',10); }
or how about adding a lot of SEO value to the blogpost by displaying the most popular keywords in a h2-tag right underneath your h1 tag?
Dynamic text in H2-tag
if(function_exists('seoboosterpro_boostlist')){ seoboosterpro_boostlist('&lt;h2&gt;','&lt;/h2&gt;',' ',',',3); }
Speed
In every update there is focus on optimizing for speed, and version 1.5 is no different. Although the changes are minute, every millisecond counts over longer periods of time, and v1.5 have shaved a few milliseconds off here and there.
Free Update
This update is free for everyone who have bought a license, and have been informed directly via e-mail. If you have bought a license and have not received an e-mail, please send an e-mail to admin@cleverwp.com and please remember to include proof of purchase, otherwise the e-mail will be ignored.
The Last Update
This will be the last update (except for potential future bug-fixes) in the v1. -series. There are already plans for the new v2. -series, and the price will go up. If you want to get v2 a lot cheaper, buy today, and get lifetime upgrades for free!
hey, nice work!
one questions about the title-tag. Is this additional keyword visible for my readers? Usually the title-tag is viewable at the top of the browser. ^^
thank you!
Hi Bichareh
Yes, it rewrites the title tag at the top of the browser, so it will be visible to your visitors also. Many people will not like this, so I’ve added it as an optional feature.
Okay…
but, this Option is very nice, can you change to this: visible only for search engine bots / not visible for human beings? Is this possible in any way?
Hi
I might add that in the future if other people request that feature. Currently, I do not really want to do it, since that would be a simple form of cloaking.
Everything the plugin does can be considered “white hat”, since its techniques that can easily be done manually, it simply removes the manual labour.. Presenting different data to people and search engine bots is another thing.
That being said, if more people request it, I can add it.
How can I add the “SEO value to the blogpost”? It`s another great option, but I don´t know to do it! ;-(
When I try to install it I get the following error (I already have the 1.0 version installed):
Destination folder already exists. /nfs/c03/h04/mnt/56926/domains/discover-rhodes.com/html/wp-content/plugins/seo-booster-pro/
Plugin Install Failed.
Regarding the “title” feature is this compatible with All in One SEO?
Also can you pls explain what do you mean:
“This will be the last update (except for potential future bug-fixes) in the v1. -series. There are already plans for the new v2. -series, and the price will go up. If you want to get v2 a lot cheaper, buy today, and get lifetime upgrades for free!”
Hi Lefteris
Regarding the installation problem, please try to remove the previous folder first, or manually overwrite the content when uploading via FTP.
The title feature is compatible with Platinum Pack, and other users have reported problems with All In One SEO in some setups. I am looking into making it work fully with All In One SEO and I will release a new version as soon as that is fixed.
Regarding the “last update”, it means simply that the next release I intend to do (no future date has been set) will be a version 2, and the price will higher than the current $29.95.
Since you have already bought a license, it does not matter for you, you and any other user get lifetime upgrades for free.
Hi!
Can you provide us with a little instruction in how to put the flexible PHP function in the theme? I can’t make it work..
Hi Rosenstand
Maybe I have not been clear enough… Since it’s php code, you need to enter “” after..
like this:
“<?php
if(function_exists('seoboosterpro_boostlist')){ seoboosterpro_boostlist('’,”,’ ‘,’,',3); }
?>”
To add it to each individual blog post, edit the “single.php” file in your theme. Above code example will display the top 3 search terms for the post, seperated by commas (,) in a h2-tag
It is not possible for me to present php code here in the comments. Please see the code in the post above. I will attempt to install a better comment editor later on, so I can present the code properly.
Soory – forgot the second question: What do I need to beside activating the dynamic title function to make it work? My titles do not change at all no matter what I try?
Hi Rosenstand
There are two potential things here, both of which I really should have made more clear.
1. The search keywords/phrases are only displayed in the title tag if there have been any incoming search visits to that blog post.
2. If the WordPress theme does not make a query to “wp_head();” in “header.php” (99% of all themes do), the feature will not be “triggered”.
If either of those are not the cause, please let me know, and I will attempt to figure out the problem ASAP.
Hello,
the “Query ignore list” isn’t very effective. I’ve added many single words, but in phrases they will still shown on my page.
Is there any way to ban ‘single’ words forever from the query list?
Hi Bichareh
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry if it is not very clear, but the ignore list currently only accepts full terms, meaning if you enter “washing” in the ignore field, it will not display
“washing”
but it will still display
“washing machine”
I am researching better ways to display the incoming queries and to manipulate the list, but I have yet to find the best and most user friendly way to do this.
