New great WordPress plugin for SEO fans.

Ever wanted to add things such as JavaScript or meta data to the of a page when you’re writing a post? It usually means editing the header.php file in your blog’s template, which is time-consuming and especially complex if you only want to add it to certain pages or posts. This is where the Head Meta plugin comes in. It allows you to simply type your meta data or your JavaScript into a custom field and have it show up inside the on your post or your page.

This is one of the most unique SEO plugins for WordPress. It is specific for search engines and people that are searching for something on your website.

When visitors are referred to your site from a search engine, they are definitely looking for something specific - often they just roughly scan the page they land on and then close the window they can’t find anything related to what they were searching for. Why not help them by showing them related posts to their search on your blog?

This plugin/guide lets you do that, works with a long list of search engines!
