    Hi, Should I write down exactly same as above?

    example:
    in Tag Title format, Posts tagged with %tag%, the words “Posts tagged with” is included or not?
    or just only %tag% (as default)?
    then words “Articles” behind %category_title%, is it also included or not?

    Hi Rajesh, Kevin Stacey here..

    First off, this is a really thorough write-up. Your descriptions go along with your screenshots really well. That’s the mark of a blogger who knows his plugin.

    For optimization, free plugins like All in One SEO Pack are really great as it lays down the basic SEO foundation for a WordPress site, but everyone is different and nothing works best for everyone.

    I always suggest looking at a side-by-side comparison of the best seo plugins for WordPress in order to make an informed decision of what the best plugin is for that blogger and their website’s specific needs.

    Here’s my most recent write-up on the subject:

    You also don’t want to overload/bog down WordPress resources with too many bulky plugins as well.

    Great article btw…I’ll be referencing this post on my main blog.
