    Nice list! Thanks for sharing
    I am not sure if you can consider flicker and youtube plugins to be SEO plugins though

  2. The robots meta plugin by Yoast is also an essential one for WordPress SEO. It allows you to control exactly what Google will index, which isn’t an easy thing to do with WordPress otherwise.

    I like the way you can be really particular about which links you want to be dofollow and nofollow in order to stop unecessary PR leakage across your blog as well.
