Although a few months back I wrote an interesting post on precautions required while installing any new WordPress Plugins. You might say that when I have already written a post on this then why am I selecting the same topic again?

Frankly speaking this blog post on how do I get the best WordPress plugin for my website is the continuation of the same blog post, and the idea of writing on this came into my mind because of some bloggers always asking me about different plugins. Especially when it comes about SEO of a WordPress blog many bloggers are confused about which plugin they should use for.

When SEO of a WordPress site is concerned, there are three plugins which comes into our consideration one being All in One SEO Pack, Greg’s High Performance SEO and the other one is WordPress SEO by Yoast. Many bloggers usually ask me about which one they should use for the SEO of their website?

It is undoubtedly true that all three SEO plugins of WordPress are quite popular and all of them have different perspective. Many people simply consider if three of them are so useful then why not we can use all three or any two of them on our website?

Frankly using two plugins for the same purposes is not a good or recommended suggestion. To be very honest, try to use only one plugin for one purpose. Like SEO plugins there are so many plugins available with WordPress for the same purposes. When you search for some functionality on your website, you might encounter many plugins of similar nature. Identifying which one is better for your website is a difficult choice to make.
