There Is Hardly A SEO Expert Who Does Not Know How Bad Broken Links Are

There is hardly a SEO expert who doesn't know how bad broken links are. Checking broken links one by one is not physically possible, even for a small site. While there are numerous free and paid tools that check for broken links, if you don't want to leave WordPress, you can get the Broken Link Checker plugin and monitor the health of your links with it. When a broken link is found, you are notified about this.

While the previous plugin is great with broken links detection, if you want more power in dealing with your links, then you need SEO Links Checker. The purpose of this plugin is to automatically create links (i.e. affiliate links) and make them nofollow, if you like. If you are running a big site with a lot of affiliate links tied to a particular keyword, this plugin is a valuable assistant. Just remember to use links wisely i.e. don't stuff your posts with links simply because it's so easy to do.

The last plugin on this list SEO Plugin by Squirrly is again a full SEO suite but the difference is that it's for NON-SEO experts. This said, the plugin is by no means inferior to the rest, it simply doesn't offer that may opportunities to mess directly with code. SEO by Squirrly deals with all aspects of SEO customization from content marketing, to keyword research, to SEO analytics, to onpage optimization.

Of course, there are many more SEO WordPress plugins we couldn't cover in this article. If the plugins on the list are not what you need, browse the Net for alternatives. However, be warned that most of the other plugins are either not as good, or they are for earlier versions of WordPress (and might not be compatible with the latest ones). While the WordPress plugins on the list are generally OK for most WordPress Web masters, if they are not OK for you, you always have the option to optimize your WordPress site with external tools.
