Scribe SEO is a paid WordPress plugin with a catchy name that helps your content rank higher in search engine results.
With a click of a button, your content is analyzed and given a score based on its structure and keyword density. If your score is less than 100%, Scribe will tell you exactly what to do to make it higher.
The higher your score, the better chance you have of ranking. Think of it like having a personal SEO consultant look over your content every time you publish something.
It really works.
I’ll make a long story short: the day after I installed Scribe SEO and optimized this blog’s most popular post, I saw its ranking in Google go to #1 from #3.
Keep in mind that a number one ranking in Google is like the difference between an Olympic gold medal and a bronze…or no medal at all. It means you’re considered a top authority for a given search term, which could be a really big deal.
So even though the post was good enough to get to #3, it wasn’t perfectly optimized. Scribe SEO did all of that behind the scenes with a click of a button.
Scribe is for writers who don’t like SEO.
ScribeSEO is pretty forgiving on people who love to write but hate to optimize. It has a rather pleasant way of eliminating the fear, impatience, frustration, confusion or anger you may feel about SEO.
What I like about Scribe is its simplicity and ease of use. It merely suggests you place the right amount of keywords in the right places. Nothing tricky about that.
It also has a few other perks, such as keyword analysis (shows you which keywords you’re targeting), search engine results page (SERP) preview and my favorite — tags, which gives you a list of suggested tags to use on your post.
The happy ending with Scribe is that you never have to worry about compromising the integrity of your writing. For writers, this is everything.
It’s not the kitchen sink, thank goodness.
I’ve explained before why SEO is a complex but necessary discipline. People build their entire careers around it.
A more robust SEO strategy relies on other things like inbound links, domain authority and site structure, and this is where Scribe falls short. It only covers the words on your page.
As a writer and editor who leans on the creative side, I don’t have the time, energy or resources to commit to anything but the words on my page. I mostly adhere to these 5 simple SEO rules.

Hey, Charles. It’s good to see a success story for Scribe. Now it will be interesting to see how the move from #3 to #1 changes the amount of traffic you get to that post.

I’m a big fan of the WordPress platform. Scribe seo is one of the best plugin in WordPress that works with WordPress to analyze your posts, give you information about them, and make suggestions about improving your post from an SEO Perspective. Once you’ve finished writing your post, the plugin checks to make sure you’ve written an optimized version of your title in the custom title field.
If you have old post in your blog and you expected a little more out of? Use this tool to go back, re-evaluate, and tweak things a bit to improve them.

I can’t believe there’s still people putting keyword density into consideration.
What world are you living in? No, really? That is so 1997.

I looked seriously at Scribe, but the monthly subscription didn’t appeal to me. I’ve read good things about it elsewhere too, though.

Nice and Cool post. I keep on reading your other entry.

Hi, Kevin Stacey here..
First off, this post is extremely thorough! I don’t see too many bloggers going into detail like you have…that’s the mark of a blogger who knows their SEO plugin. For optimization, free plugins like All in One SEO Pack are really great as it lays down the basic SEO foundation for a WordPress site, but every blog is different and nothing works best for everyone.
I always suggest looking at a side-by-side comparison of the best seo plugins for WordPress in order to make an informed decision of what the best plugin is for that blogger and their website’s specific needs.
Here’s my most recent write-up on the subject:

Great article btw…I’ll be referencing this post on my main blog.

everyone talks about SEO. But since there have been so many Panda and penguin updates, does it still work??? or is it just a waste of time???
