WordPress Plugins, Themes & Hosting Consideration Recommendations from Search Commander Inc., CEO

PubCon video content producer Vanessa Zamora sat down with Scott Hendison, president at Search Commander Inc., to discuss content management systems, specifically WordPress, the blogging platform that is one of his specialties. Hendison shared a number of his top plugin picks for WordPress development in this PubCon Las Vegas 2010 interview, including SEO Automatic’s own Core Tweaks WordPress Setup plugin that minimizes the initial content management system set up time, All in One SEO Pack and HeadSpace2 SEO for search engine optimization needs, as well as Yoast, which includes a plugin for SEO, an XML Sitemaps plugin, and an RSS footer plugin. Hendison also shared his preferred WordPress themes, pointing out that although the most popular theme to his knowledge is Thesis, a premium theme, he prefers a free theme called Atahualpa, and recommends others browse through free themes before spending money on a premium theme that ultimately might not have all of the desired capabilities. Hendison continued by sharing his recommendations with regards to selecting a Web hosting server, suggesting against shared servers that stifle page load time, now a factor in Google’s ranking system. In addition, shared servers do not provide as much security as dedicated environments, Hendison added. If looking for shared hosting, Hendison suggested Search Commanders PDXTC shared hosting service, as well as Bluehost. For dedicated options Hendison suggested Rackspace or Dreamhost.

WordPress Automatic Backlink Creator Plugin Review

www.affiliatepowertools.org – This new wordpress plugin revolutionizes the process of getting targeted, quality backlinks to your website. Compared to other services like 1waylinks, 3waylinks, Llnkvana, Seo Link Vine, Article Ranks, Unique Article Wizard and more, this plugin (in this reviewers opinion) delivers more value at a lower cost. It does so, by giving you access to both “in-content” backlinks as well as “blogroll” style backlinks. The plugin comes with support for spun anchor text and articles.The process of adding a blogroll takes you all of about 1 minute which is a huge time saver. In addition you get 500 of these blogroll links on wordpress blogs, on different IP’s from all over the world. At the time of this writing the network has over 2000 blogs and is growing fast as it was just launched 3 month’s ago. The cost of the service is per month.This is lower than all of the other networks listed above and, of course, it comes with a full 60 day guarantee. Personally I have seen really great results with this plugin and I highly recommend it. I have been using it for 3 months and have taken several sites up to the first page of Google using the blogroll style backlinks alone. The time saving aspect of this plugin is undeniable. Another major factor for offering this service, is the support. Greg, the creator of the network responds to support requests almost instantly. I have honestly been shocked at the quality of his support and this another big reason …
