		<description>Hi Barbara. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://techblissonline.com/platinum-seo-pack/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;plugin&#039;s home page&lt;/a&gt; says it automates keyword generation. To tell you the truth here, I am a little confused.

When I first installed this plugin, if I didn&#039;t type in keywords (it&#039;s done the same way you do it with All-In-One) then the plugin tried to figure out some keywords for my article. Sometimes the keywords were good, sometimes they weren&#039;t.

However, my last article, the &quot;Open Discussion&quot; one, did not have the keywords automatically generated for me. There is an option on Platinum that allows you to make your chosen Category for an article to be the article&#039;s keyword, but somehow I don&#039;t think &quot;General Discussion&quot; is a great keyword! ;)

Here&#039;s the plugin&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://techblissonline.com/platinum-seo-pack-faq/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;F.A.Q. page&lt;/a&gt;.

So I guess my answer is, no, it doesn&#039;t seem to autogenerate my keywords anymore (but it use to?).

Hmmm.</description>

		<description>Hi John - Hey, thanks for the link love. My question, (and this may sound silly).  If I have the SEO plugin installed, do I have to optimize each post with keywords, etc, or does the plugin do &quot;something&quot; all by itself?

		<description>Hi John - I was going to ask you this via email but I figured it would be a real pain in the ass question.  Basically, before I had my blog, I had a sucky website I built with XSitePro and installed on www.cathlawson.com

So, when I added a blog, I installed it on www.cathlawson.com/blog/

What I would really like is to get rid of the original XSitePro site and move my blog, so the homepage is at www.cathlawson.com

Would this be easy to do?  And is it something you could do for me, if I moved my webhosting to you.  I&#039;ll check the date, but I think it&#039;s only a couple of weeks until my bluehost webhosting expires.  I&#039;m guessing that all my url&#039;s for blog posts wouldn&#039;t change as they are all /blog anyway.  But I don&#039;t want to chance it without asking.  The website behind is really sucky and I think it is spoiling the whole look of my blog - plus, I can&#039;t really link the two together.

		<description>I agree, Akemi. If someone was trying to figure which plugin they should get from the start, All-In-One or Platinum, I&#039;d say go with Platinum. It does have a few other functions, but nothing so important over All-In-One that you &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; switch.</description>

		<description>Hello John,

The short answer is, not really. It seems the title tag does help Google to understand better where that link is sending it, however from everything I&#039;ve learned, it has little SEO value for your web page.

However, I would still include it for a couple key reasons:

1. Matt Cutts and the boys over at Google go to great lengths to keep their search algorithm top secret. The way I see it, the title tag is there and Google / Yahoo! does read it so it couldn&#039;t hurt (as long as you don&#039;t use it for spam).

2. Google continually modifies its search algorithm and who knows, tomorrow we might find the title tag all of a sudden has become a big player in SEO. You might as well be prepared, right?</description>

		<description>Thank you for responding to my questions. I appreciate your detailed explanation.

I just checked my all-in-one-SEO, and it looks like this plugin prevents indexing categories, archives, and tag archives as well.  So I guess it&#039;s probably not worth switching to platinum SEO.

		<description>Quick SEO question, does adding title tags to links help with SEO?  e.g.

{a href=&quot;corewar.htm&quot; title=&quot;corewar, programming in redcode&quot;}corewar{/a}
