@Wolfgang: The URL you mentioned is the plugin’s homepage — I do the text (which is basically copied from the plugin’s readme file), and someone else does the images.

Thanks for reporting the Linkbox Inserter issue. You’re right, the linkbox shouldn’t appear if there’s a “more” tag. I’ll make the change in version 0.9.

@John: Thanks for your reply. Is this you? http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/wordpress-seo/

I found an issue:
The Linkbox Inserter does not accept the more tag. The linkbox can be seen in Archives, Tag pages, at Search pages etc. below every article.

@seosapien: Thanks! I’m glad you like the autoinstaller.

@Wolfgang: SEO Ultimate and HeadSpace2 aren’t direct “competitors,” so I don’t think you could replace either one with the other. SEO Ultimate focuses on SEO, whereas HeadSpace2 focuses on everything related to metadata (some of which is SEO-related).

Since SEO Ultimate is an SEO plugin, it doesn’t include the non-SEO features of HeadSpace2 (like the ability to disable WordPress’s visual editor, or set PHP memory limits). You shouldn’t disable HeadSpace2 if you use these non-SEO features.

At the same time, SEO Ultimate has SEO features that HeadSpace2 doesn’t (and vice versa), and SEO Ultimate’s featureset will continue to grow via regular updates.

Therefore, I’d recommend running both plugins side-by-side. There shouldn’t be a problem, as long as you disable the overlapping functionality in either of the plugins (both SEO Ultimate and HeadSpace2 include module managers).

@Scott Thomason: Yes, SEO Ultimate is stable; it’s been out for 2 months with thousands of downloads, and there has only been one bug report so far (which was quickly resolved).

SEO Ultimate doesn’t have nofollow functionality yet, but that’s on the ideas list.

If this thing is ready to go, I’d really like to give it a shot. Does it do anything with follow/nofollow links?

John, I am using HeadSpace2 (http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/headspace2/) as SEO-plugin as it is much better than All in One SEO Pack and others. What would you say why I should change that to your SEO Ultimate plugin?

The auto installer from your blog is a great addition! Great work and really cool idea to include that auto installer!

[...] sure to check out the auto-installer system (at the bottom of linked post) that I invented for this plugin! You can also download the zip file. [...]
