asis. * Easily select autolink destinations using autocomplete textboxes that scour your site's content and taxonomy terms to find the link destination you're looking for. * Autolinks point to the objects themselves, not to their URLs, so if yo u change the URL of a post or category on your site, the autolinks automatically adjust. * Avoid over-optimization penalties by controlling the maximum number of autolinks added to each post/page, the maximum number of times an anchor is lin ked per post/page, and/or the maximum number of times a post/page can link to th e same destination. * Reduce autolink frequency by a given percentage (globally or per-link) with the frequency dampener feature. (Useful for large sites.) * Choose whether or not posts can link to themselves and/or to the curre nt URL with a few simple checkboxes. * Apply the nofollow attribute on a per-link basis. (Perfect for automat ic affiliate links.) * Exclude specific posts/pages from having links added to them, if desir ed (e.g. contact pages, the homepage, etc.). * Import/export your links as CSV files. * Create links pointing to draft posts that will auto-enable when the po st is published! * Build internal links to your posts from within the WordPress post edit or!

gle/`) that pass-through to an external URL. * Mask links on a per-link, per-post basis so you can exert fine-tuned c ontrol over your posts' linkflow. * Create global link masks that apply across your entire site. * Change `/go/` to a directory of your choosing. * Link masks provide a modern replacement for the deprecated, nofollow-b ased "PageRank Sculpting" technique. * Perfect for affiliate marketers and SEO-savvy bloggers. * **Canonicalizer** * Point search engines to preferred content access points with `<link re l="canonical" />` head tags and/or `Link: <url>; rel="canonical"` HTTP headers. * Go beyond WordPress's basic canonical tag functionality with SEO Ultim ate's support for category/tag/date/author archives. * Redirect requests for non-existent pagination with a simple checkbox. * **404 Monitor** * Improve the visiting experience of users and spiders by keeping tabs o n "page not found" errors. (Use a redirection plugin to point dead-end URLs to y our content.) * Find out what URLs are referring visitors to 404 errors. * The default settings hone in on the most important errors by only logg ing 404s that either have a referring URL or are generated by a search engine sp ider. * If desired, ignore 404s generated from specific URLs or wildcard URL p atterns. * **Permalink Tweaker** * Lets you remove the permalink base for categories, tags, and/or custom taxonomies. * For example, enable category base removal to convert `http://example.c om/category/example` into `http://example.com/example`, and then pair that with a `/%category%/%postname%/` permalink to enable some serious SEO siloing action. * The "URL Conflict Resolution" setting lets you arbitrate between pages /terms when taxonomy base removal causes their URLs to conflict * **Meta Robot Tags Editor** * Add the `<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />` tag to archi ves, comment feeds, the login page, and more. * Set meta robots tags (index/noindex and follow/nofollow) for each indi vidual post, page, category, tag, and post type archive on your blog.

Go to the [SEO Ultimate homepage](http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/wordpress -seo/). 2. In the "Auto Installer" box on the right, enter your blog's URL and click "La unch Installer." 3. Click "Install Now," then click "Activate this plugin." That's it! Now go to the new "SEO" menu and explore the modules of the SEO Ultim ate plugin.

To install the plugin manually: 1. Download and unzip the plugin. 2. Upload the `seo-ultimate` directory to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Troubleshooting = * **I installed SEO Ultimate and my site broke. What do I do?** If you get an error message or your screen goes blank after you activate SEO Ultimate, it's likely because your site ran out of memory. A common site me mory limit is 32 megabytes. SEO Ultimate uses only 5 megabytes of memory, but co mbined with WordPress and your other plugins, you may be running over the limit. Try increasing your memory limit to "64M" (64 megabytes) [in your wp-config.php file](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_alloca ted_to_PHP), or contact your web host for assistance. (Note: The amount of site memory has nothing to do with the amount of your computer's memory.) * **I upgraded SEO Ultimate and something broke. What do I do?** If a new version of SEO Ultimate introduces a bug, you can easily revert back to the previous version you were using. Just go to the `Settings > SEO Ult imate` page and click on the "Downgrade" tab. (Downgrading is available most of the time, but if the new version upgraded the plugin's settings infrastructure, SEO Ultimate won't let you downgrade, since doing so would cause you to lose you r settings. There may be other cases in which downgrading isn't available or cau ses problems; it's an unsupported feature, but should work in most cases.) = Compatibility = * **What's the minimum version of WordPress required to run SEO Ultimate?** WordPress 3.3 is required. SEO Ultimate would generate PHP errors if you tried to run it on an earlier version, and so it will simply refuse to activate on any version of WordPress that's older than 3.3. * **Will SEO Ultimate work on multisite setups?** Yes. SEO Ultimate versions 7.2.6 and later are designed to work on netwo rks running WordPress 3.3 or later. * **Which browsers work best with the SEO Ultimate administration interface?** SEO Ultimate's administration interface occasionally uses some HTML5 fea tures. All modern browsers support these features with the exception of Internet Explorer. Don't worry, you'll still be able to use the administration interface with Internet Explorer, but you'll get the best experience if you use another b rowser. (Note that this only applies to the browser _you_ use. The visitors to y our website, on the other hand, can use whatever browser they want.) = General FAQ = * **Why "SEO Ultimate" instead of "Ultimate SEO"?** Because "SEO Ultimate" works better as a brand name. * **Where in WordPress does the plugin add itself?** SEO Ultimate puts all its admin pages under a new "SEO" top-level menu. The only exception is the plugin settings page, which goes under `Settings > SEO Ultimate`.

* **Where's the documentation?** SEO Ultimate's documentation is built into the plugin itself. Whenever y ou're viewing an SEO Ultimate page in your WordPress admin, you can click the "H elp" tab in the upper-right-hand corner to view documentation for the area you'r e viewing. * **How do I disable the attribution link?** The attribution link is disabled by default. It only appears if you enab le it. You can re-disable it the same place you enabled it: under `Settings > SE O Ultimate`. * **How do I uninstall SEO Ultimate?** 1. Go to the `Settings > SEO Ultimate` admin page and click the "Uninsta ll" tab. 2. Click the "Uninstall Now" button and click "Yes" to confirm. SEO Ulti mate's files and database entries will be deleted. * **Will all my settings be deleted if I delete SEO Ultimate in the Plugins mana ger?** No. Your settings will be retained unless you uninstall SEO Ultimate und er `Settings > SEO Ultimate > Uninstall`. * **Where is the Plugin Settings page?** The plugin settings page is located under `Settings > SEO Ultimate`. = "SEO Settings" box = * **Where is the SEO Settings box located?** The SEO Settings box is located on WordPress's post/page editor undernea th the content area. * **How do I disable the "SEO Settings" box in the post/page editors?** Open the editor, click the "Screen Options" tab in the upper-right-hand corner, and uncheck the "SEO Settings" checkbox. Note that the box's visibility is a per-user preference. * **Why did some of the textboxes disappear from the "SEO Settings" box?** The "SEO Settings" fields are added by your modules. The "Title Tag" fie ld is added by the Title Tag Rewriter module, the "Meta Description" field is ad ded by the Meta Description Editor module, etc. If you disable a module using th e Module Manager, its fields in the "SEO Settings" box will be disabled too. You can re-enable the field in question by re-enabling the corresponding module. = Module FAQ = Frequently asked questions, settings help, and troubleshooting tips for SEO Ulti mate's modules can be found by clicking the help tabs in the upper-right-hand co rner of the module admin pages themselves.
