All in One SEO for Word­Press is a pow­er­ful plu­gin that will quickly make your Word­Press Web­sites’ SEO (search engine opti­miza­tion) rock solid. Here’s how you can begin to setup All in One SEO:

1. Down­load, upload and install the All In One SEO pack.
2. Go to Set­tings > All in One SEO
3. Enter your settings

The default set­tings that come with the instal­la­tion are pretty solid, but if you want to add some bet­ter <title>‘s for clar­ity and a bet­ter user expe­ri­ence you can. Click on any of the form labels to get a drop­down of the accepted All in One SEO tags / variables.
