This plugin was created based by the idea in the article, Second Page Poaching – Advanced White Hat SEO Techniques.
The plugin detects and collects visits by users from search engines, especially from those pages listed on page two of the search engine and helps to bring those page 2-listings up to page one.

Your Theme MUST be Widget-enabled if you want to use this plugin.
[/note]
The plugin checks for all visitors from search engines and indexes the queries and also which page the visitor came from (first page in Google, page two or three, and so forth).
The plugin comes with a Widget, which can be placed on your blog if your WordPress Theme is Widget-ready.
All searches that comes from page two in a search engine, will be shown on the list, with the appropriate anchor text linking to that page. This will help move that individual search result up to page one (hopefully), depending on the competition of that particular search term.
The plugin is very much set-and-forget-it. Once installed, and the Widget is activated and placed in your Theme, the plugin takes care of the rest.
Whenever there are changes such as the search query has moved up to page one, or down, the plugin stops showing that in the list.
[note]
This is the Lite version of the plugin. The planned PRO version of the plugin will be available once development is complete.
[/note]
What this plugin does not do (compared to the original article):
- All page two searches are displayed, not only position #11 and #12 as from the original article.
- Once searches are moved up or down, they are no longer displayed (not stored as the original article dictates).
The Pro version will include the full proposed system.
Example screenshots of the widget in use:

The plugin have been tested on a couple of blogs, and they have helped move the blogs up from page 2 to page 1 on some of the search terms.

Hey there. Thanks for this. If you want me to case study the pro version when it comes out, shoot me an email. Best, B
This is a good idea. Thanks!
Works great, thank you
Hi, great idea and great plugin, but I’m getting some numbers instead of the search terms for some referrers, is strange because I’m not on SERPs for those numbers, maybe is some kind of problem with the parameters…
You can see it in my left sidebar at pandeblog.org…
Can you help me?
Thanks.
Hi Pande
First of all, yes, I can use testers from time to time, I will give you a shout when a new plugin needs testing.
Second, i see the “300″ is listed as search query. Remember, the plugin not only detects Google searches, but also Yahoo, Ask, Msn and more, so a search from page two from another search engine would also be detected.
I can see it is listed in the bottom, there are three things you/we can do:
1. Go into the database (default wp_seobooster) and deleted that entry, but it might come back
2. Ignore it, it is listed in the bottom, so it will most likely be overwritten by another search query that gets more hits.
Let me know if you disagree and/or need help with solution #1…
Interesting blog, although my Spanish is still VERY bad, so I don’t understand very much
Thanks for your quick answer, I’ve already deleted about 100 entries with numbers in my database, but I think may it comes again, that’s why I’m writing you.
90% of my traffic comes from Google, the rest is almost 0, so I don’t care about the other referrers. Do you think it can be some parameters issue?
Thanks again.
Hmm. I’m thinking of creating a just-google version instead… But I do not really want to have to branches of a plugin to maintain…
Otherwise I need to set it up so you can choose which search engines to detect (by a checkbox or something) or I should just use Google, and nothing else.
Any comments (both you Pande, and anyone else who wants to chip in with their opinion?)
Should the plugin detect all search engines or just Google?
I don’t know how it works in some other countries (or languages), but in Spain (and spanish) is mostly like my blog, you can see it in my statistics:
google: 89.53%
yahoo: 5.51%
search: 3.70%
altavista: 0.55%
I’m sorry but numbers are showing again, I think it’s not related to some other SE’s…
What would be best in this case?
I don’t want to deactivate this ggreat plugin…..
Hi Pande
I am – just now- putting the final touches on version 1.1, which includes a “latest 50″ visits log, where you can see exactly what is going on. That might be part of the solution. If the stats (once they start filling up in your log) show other search engines, then you have your answer why.
I would consider checking just Google search results, but I have not made up my mind yet, awaiting feedback from other users as well.
Hello, that would be great.
I want to see why those f…. numbers are filling my anchor texts….
Let me know if you need beta testers….
Hi Pande
Thanks, I will let you know. I will need to have some of the upcoming plugins tested..
Hi Pande, in my case, the numbers come from pics on my site, with are indexed and cached by google’s image-search: images.google.com. The numbers (e.g. “560″, left sidebar, bottom) comes from the resolution of the original pic, shown by google at the cached thumbnail. May be some users are searching for pics by resolution or by other numbers, whatever.
Hi admin, can you give an option to exclude “only numbers” from the “boost”- list.
I would also like to be able editing the list, means to delete some unwanted search terms, not to be boosted.
My Opinion to the “google only” question, i think, you should not prefere the dominant SE, it would’nt be fair.
Good Point Gerhard, all the numbers are my image’s width (from 250 to 450, the width of my blog’s body).
Admin: can we avoid this numbers ti be shown or saved?
Thank you !
@Pande & @Gerhard: Sure, since you ask so nicely, how can I refuse!?!
I will add that functionality to the upcoming version 1.2…
Sorry, i posted in the wrong post earlier:
Just upgraded yesterday and finally the queries started showing up. However, most of the queries are in digits like 1024, etc.?
Please see website link.
Thanks,
Aaron
Hi “admin”: I’m on 1.3 but still getting numbers…..
Nice interface….
Just upgraded to 1.3 and still seeing numbers in the search queries.
Thanks
Hi
The new plugin merely doesn’t STORE any number-only search results. I have yet to implement the best way to clean up this data.
I have a few options available..
1. Create a button that an admin can press to delete all number-only searches stored.
2. Have the data automatically purged
I am for the synopsis from 1 & 2: A button in the options, to exclude (by default) or include number-only terms (may be you ment this in 2.).
I would purge it, I’d hate to press a button 6-10 times/day…
Thanks
From now on the plugin should not (have yet to hear feedback) store these number-only searches, but the button/purge was meant for the old data which is still stored…
Ok, that would be nice to avoid enourmous tables in the database…
Thanks for all….
Oh it is the image widths! The mystery is solved.
I vote for the option to exclude number-only searches. In fact, I think that should be the default. Who gets number-only searches?
Is there a planned update for this issue?
Hi Taobao, I have just released version 1.4 of the plugin, read more about it here: http://mywordpress.com/seo-booster-lite-14/
The “number-only” problem has been fixed. In fact it has been added as a setting to ignore them, so it is now optional.
Hey that’s great. Love the update. Big thanks again for this. I think I can already see it working!
Hi Taobao Agent
I’m very pleased to hear that
I have just released the PRO version for sale here on this blog: http://mywordpress.com/products-page/seo-booster-pro/seo-booster-pro/
Take a look at some of the very cool features built into the PRO version:

I would try to this plugin on my own blog too.
I had also installed Platinum SEO Pack in my blog already , will this cause any conflicts?
Has anyone tried both plugins on the same blog ?
Hi
SBP Works fine without any problems with Platinum SEO Pack as well as AIO (All In One SEO).
