SEO Title Tag

Search engine optimize your blog's title tags. Mass edit the title tags of posts, pages, category pages, tag pages - indeed, any URL!

Title tags are arguably the most important of the on-page factors for search engine optimization ("SEO"). It blows my mind how post titles are also used as title tags by WordPress, considering that post titles should be catchy, pithy, and short-and-sweet; whereas title tags should incorporate synonyms and alternate phrases to capture additional search visibility.

Now, thankfully, there is a solution, allowing you to decouple post titles from title tags. Introducing... the SEO Title Tag WordPress plugin.

SEO Title Tag makes is dead-easy to optimize the title tags across your WordPress-powered blog or website. Not just your posts, not just your home page, but any and every title tag on your site! If this plugin, along with a few hours of keyword research and copywriting of optimized titles, doesn't make a significant impact on your search traffic, you're doing something wrong!

Features include:

  • Allows you to override a page's or a post's title tag with a custom one.

  • A Title Tag input box in the Edit Post and Write Post forms. (Previously in version 1.0 you had to use the Custom Field box.)

  • Mass editing of title tags for all posts, static pages, category pages, tag pages, tag conjunction pages, archive by month pages, - indeed, any URL - all in one go.

  • Mass editing of slugs for all posts and static pages.

  • Define a custom title tag for your home page (or, more accurately, your Posts page, if you have chosen a static Front Page set under Options -> Reading), through the Options -> SEO Title Tag page in the WordPress admin.

  • Define the title tag of 404 error pages, also through Options -> SEO Title Tag.

  • Handles internal search result pages too.

  • Title tags of category pages can optionally be set to the category description. If you use a Meta Tag plugin like , then you should not use this feature and instead let the Meta Tag plugin use the category description for the meta description on category pages.

  • If you choose to keep the blog name in your title tags (not recommended!), the order of the blog name and the title are automatically reversed, giving more keyword prominence to the title instead of the blog name. Note there is also an option to replace your blog name with a shorter blog nickname.

SEO Title Tag is authored by SEO specialist web agency . Version 1.0 was by Netconcepts' president . Version 2.0 was a collaborative effort - Stephan did the concept development and Netconcepts' code jockeys Oliver Kastler, Mike Harding, Elton Fry and Andrew Shell did all the heavy lifting. It is completely free and has been released as "open source" under the GPL license. So enjoy!
