This isn’t an SEOPressor WordPress SEO Plugin Review per se, it’s a tongue in cheek look at some comment SPAM trying to sell SEOPressor. Looking to deal with comment SPAM without using Akismet, read how the Stallion Responsive SEO Package handles Comment SPAM. This is the best comment SPAM I’ve had for the Stallion Theme site so far, I’m the developer of the best WordPress SEO Package available so having SEO plugin SPAMMERS tell me I’ve not optimised my content is funny. Deleted the SEOPressor SPAM comment but here’s the main text minus the links: SEOPressor SEO Plugin SPAM Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is not that great, for one you do not use all three […]

SEOPressor Internal Links to Other Site Pages
Hi David.
Another hole you’ve knocked in the SEOpressor theory?
I know SEOpressor isn’t one of your products and I know you haven’t tried it but daniel tan, who promotes it, is quite a well respective WordPress guru so could you clarify this for me please.
One of the parameters that SEOpressor uses is that you must have an internal link to another page of your site. I always do this to get a little green tick in the SEOpressor boxes.
Before using your link cloaking and redirection scripts today I would have had a link which SEOPressor sees.
With your great scripts it now looks like this: “Just the Anchor Text”
does it matter that Google apparently doesn’t see any links between pages David and can it affect any rankings? (Incidentally I’m guessing not but if you could just explain when you have a few spare minutes I’d appreciate it.
Many thanks
Nigel
SEOPressor Internal Links to Other Site Pages
SEO Importance of Internal Links and Anchor Text
I wouldn’t generally advise hiding/cloaking links to your own pages as they’ll pass no PR/link benefit and so will be less likely to rank well. There’s an argument for hiding/cloaking privacy pages and similar pages that are irrelevant to a sites rankings and waste link benefit, but the page you mention above appears to be one you’d want SERPs for.
“SEOpressor uses is that you must have an internal link to another page of your site”
I can’t see a lot of SEO logic in this, you sure it’s not link to a related page on the site? So if a page was about “Stallion Theme Cloak Affiliate Links Tutorial” you’d ideally want links from the page with anchor containing one or more of the relevant keywords. Not much to gain linking from this page to one that’s not relevant beyond having more links to the page you are linking to.
I’m lazy when it comes to internal linking (and external linking to other sites I own) and try to automate it as much as possible.
I use plugins like the Related Posts plugins (free from WordPress SEO Plugins) you see below the Comment form on this page and on a few sites the SEO Smart Links WordPress Plugin (link on the plugin page above): never seem to find the time to setup the SEO Smart Links Plugin on most of my sites (not automated enough :-)).
Links off a page are important if you can get many of them to use anchor text related to the SERPs you are after for the page the links are off. If I wasn’t so lazy I’d manually splatter relevant links to internal pages and other sites I own through out my posts.
SEO wise anchor text has more SEO benefit for the page the anchor text is on than standard body text. So if you have a page about “Link Cloaking” and a link from that page to a page about link cloaking and the link has anchor text “Link Cloaking” (or related anchor text), changing the link to a hidden/cloaked link (using Stallion) will turn the link into standard body text as far as Google etc…. goes and so SEO benefit (from the anchor text) will be lost. However, if this is a link to an affiliate site you loose more SEO benefit (you loose link benefit) by linking out to an affiliate site that you don’t want to waste link benefit on compared to the SEO gain from relevant anchor text.
Basically do hide/cloak affiliate links, don’t hide/cloak links to your own pages. If you hide/cloak an affiliate link with anchor text that was highly relevant to the page the link is on try to add another link using similar anchor text to one of your relevant pages.

SEOPressor plugin SPAM
I get about 20 identical comments a day from the same person. It’s really annoying me as I’m also in the SEO industry and I know that keyword density isn’t an exact science. I thought about sending them a huge email but I’ve got a feeling it’s a bot.
Akismet WordPress Plugin and Mark as SPAM
Easy to deal with, install the WordPress plugin Akismet and Mark the persons comments as SPAM, Akismet will quickly learn to automatically mark that persons comments as SPAM.
My sites receive thousands of SPAM comments a day and Akismet deals with around 99.99% automatically.
The comment I listed above was one marked as SPAM by Akismet, was deleting SPAM comments and noticed it.

SEOpressor Plugin Review
I don’t know how I stumbled onto your site, but you obviously know your stuff!
You may have reviewed the good & bad of SEOPressor & I missed it, but what are your thoughts on this one? I like how it gives you a “progress bar” if you will, on how the on-page SEO looks.
I’m not sure if it does any of the nofollow/noidex you talk about. Plus, if I buy your Stallion theme, do I need the SEO “progress bar” I mentioned?
Thank you for your help!

Search Engine Submission Service SEO Value?
This reminds me of the search engine submission services some SEO companies try to sell to newbie webmasters. I have seen many people offering search engine submission services in many webmaster forums and via SPAM emails, some people claim that they will submit your site to over 10,000 search engines and they in turn claim that they will boost your search traffic and some even claim that they will boost your PageRank, I would like to know how search engine submissions will boost your PageRank?
So can you really opt for these services and spend your well earned money on them to boost your sites SEO traffic?
I would be happy if you saw some boost in your rankings and traffic with these submission services, but sadly the answer to this question is NO! I wouldn’t really recommend you going for these services and the answer is plain and simple.
Just know that well over half of searches on the Internet are made from Google and in fact Google is increasing those numbers every year steadily. It used to be 30% of the search market goes to Yahoo and Bing and the remaining 5% of the search market has been shared between ask.com, dogpile.com and other minor search engines, today even more goes to Google. So just know that submitting your site to 10,000 search engines across the world might sound really attractive, but it’s really useless to submit your site to a search engine where hardly any people will use to search for information.
Secondly search engines like Google do not include a site into its index just because you have submitted your site through the Google submission form (which is free BTW), it’s a myth that is believed to be true, Google will not include your site in its index unless it finds some other site linking to you, So when you open a website just make sure that you are building links to your site on a consistent basis so that it will be indexed in search engines.
When you have more number of sites linking to you then naturally every other search engine will start to find your site and index it without any effort in your part directly to get into search index. That is a more reliable way to get into search index when you are building a site over submitting your site using the submission form.
Save your money and time for something useful in SEO traffic building.

SEOPressor SEO Over Optimization
There is a difference between SEO plugins like AIO SEO or Yoast SEO, or those SEO plugins which supposedly “help” to optimize content, like SEOPressor.
Today, I would *not* use SEOPressor anymore (I did in the past) since it may likely entirely over-optimize your site.
In the last months/year… on-site SEO is getting more and more about “de-optimizing” content, away from thinking in terms of keywords and “researched phrases”.
A year or two when I used SEOPressor, it did exactly those things which today are absolutely not recommended anymore. Rather than over-optimizing, write good and “on topic” content.
I know it sounds like Matt Cutts talking, but it’s really the best for on-site SEO you can do today.
DON’T over-optimize! (Keyword in title, 3% KW density, KW in H1, H2, link with keyword and then KW in the last sentence of post etc… might well trigger Google’s attention.
Just saying…)
