There are a lot of reasons to launch your blog or business website with WordPress. After all, not only does it serve as an easy-to-use content management system, but it has a number of built-in features that make adding and editing content a breeze.

One thing that WordPress can't do automatically for you, however, is handle one of the biggest ongoing challenges for any kind of commercial or e-commerce site – improving your [search engine optimization](http://www.zizinya.com/houston-search-engine-optimization/houston-search-engine-optimization.html).

To earn one of the top spots on Google, Yahoo, and Bing, you're still going to have to come up with a steady stream of high-quality, keyword-optimized content. Once you are committed to doing that, though, you can use some handy and high-powered WordPress plug-ins to get more out of your efforts.

Here are eight of the very best SEO WordPress plug-ins for your blog or business website:

[**All in One SEO**](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/). This simple tool can be installed in minutes, and is straightforward enough to be used by novices and experts alike. By doing things like adding meta-tags and allowing you to fine-tune your content settings, it makes your site much easier for search engines to find.

[**Redirection**](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/). One thing that hurts your search engine ranking – and greatly annoys visitors to your website or blog – is missing links or pages. This plug-in makes sure that moved or deleted items on your WordPress site get updated links.

[**Robots Meta**](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/robots-meta/). Did you know that your site’s search engine positioning can be hurt by having "duplicate content" that is shared between pages? This plug-in illuminates that problem by telling automated search engine spiders where to look on your website, and which parts to ignore.

[**SEO Smart Links**](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-links/). Most small business owners and bloggers aren't getting nearly as much return from their internal links as they could be. This plug-in automatically adds links to other posts and pages within your site – based on keywords you specify – so that you don't have to do it manually each time.

[**SEO Friendly Images**](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-image/). If you use images on your posts and pages – and you *should* – then this plug-in is invaluable, since it helps you to create the right kinds of tags and links to attract attention from Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

[**Google Positioner**](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-google-seo-positioner/). Ever wonder which of your keywords is attracting traffic? With this plug-in, you won't have to ever again. That's because it tells you where you’re succeeding – and where potential customers are coming from – so you can emphasize your strengths or pursue a new strategy.

[**Permalinks Moved Permanently**](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalinks-moved-permanently/). There may come a time when you have to change the permalink structure of your WordPress business site or blog. If and when that happens, this plug-in will help to ensure that you get the maximum search engine benefit from your new structure.

[**SEO Slugs**](http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/12/16/9-seo-plugins-every-wordpress-blog-should-have/). Did you know that most of your pages and posts have so-called "stop" words in them that are useless to search engines? This plug-in removes them from your permanent links entirely, making your most important words and phrases more visible to Google and the other major engines.

In many ways, [search engine optimization](http://www.zizinya.com) can be a process of taking small, incremental steps day by day and week by week. By using these valuable plug-ins, however, you can cut down some of the time and frustration a good SEO campaign requires, and skip ahead to all of the online marketing benefits.
