All in One SEO vs. Platinum SEO

by Scott Hendison on April 21, 2009

There’s a sort of competition going on among programmers to have the “best” WordPress SEO plugin. As some of you know, if you only have a few sites, and you really want some cool features, I’m still a big fan of Headspace.

However, for compatibility purposes, (because it’s frustrating to have dozens of websites turned into blank pages) I’ve been leaning heavily towards All-in-One SEO for months now.

Recenty though, the latest version of Platinum SEO has really peaked my interest, and after testing, I’m officially declaring our support for Platinum Pack, and we will ensure compatibility – for now.

However, with All-In-One SEO having 12x more downloads per day, it has a far larger userbase to keep happy. Also, Platinum SEO does appear to be simply a ripoff of All-in-One, so I’m sticking with that as our recommended solution.

So, since All in One is the most widely used SEO plugin, (and as a US based veteran owned business), we’ll continue to guarantee compatibility with our WP Core Tweaks plugin as a #1 priority.

Still, it’s neat to see the features in this “newcomer” –

You haven’t talked about which one is best?

I intended to be pretty clear that I was sticking with All in One, since Platinum essentially stole the code…

I gather you prefer All in One. But you also mentioned that Headspace2 is good for the smaller guy (me). I have 3 sites for my different biz ventures. So what do you think? Oh, does Headspace2 do canonical links?

Well, it’s a matter of simplicity, and that’s why I tend to prefer All in One – but Headspace does offer a TON of features that AIO doesn’t touch, and likely never will. If you have a need for those added features, some of which are pretty impressive, then there’s certainly nothing wrong with it…

Oh, and yes, Headspace2 does offer support for the canonical tag, and has since spring of 2009….

thanks!
