    Keywords (keywords): allows the addition of tags in the same way that the field for this purpose since WordPress 2.3.

Be sensible all the same!
    Duplicate content: the plugin handles very well the problems of duplicate content via the function noindex. It is available separately for each applicable articles or pages for archives, categories or tags.

Section by section, page by page, if you wish!Although it is not alone on the niche SEO, the big advantage of All in One SEO Pack is that it is, as its name suggests, "all in one." It frees you to install and manage multiple extensions. It is also easy to use, lightweight and compact, which makes it even better, more well-coded.

 9-plugin SexyBookmarks | email, bookmark, and share buttons:

I tested plugin SexyBookmarks, I saw a lot of other blogs, such as PapyGeek. To be honest, I was afraid that this solution contains a very heavy Javascript file to load, which would slow the page load, as the images used (each potentially representing a query image). Or is not, contrary to what I thought the picture buttons of sharing is a sprite, so loading a single query. CSS and Javascript to load very quickly, so that the loading of the plugin can takes me almost 30 / 100 on the total ticket, as you can see in the image below. Imagine my satisfaction quandj'ai recovered a very nice plugin, as offering a more attractive by its ergonomics (buttons that 'exit' attract the eye, and gives an impression of the visitor ahut technological novice), but also from the is seen immediately and buttons so the logos of social networks (no need to click on a link before), and finally, if I remove two seconds, and I add 30 hundredths, it makes me a total lost by 1.7 seconds in total on the page load, which is always good to take!

So if you also want to optimize the loading time of your pages (of course the best is to do nothing), I recommend SexyBookmark.
