Measure My SEO WordPress Plugin an Alternative to SEOPressor?

One of the things I love about helping people with their WordPress sites is I get to see what plugins they are using. Today I came across a new premium wordpress plugin that automatically rates your “on page” seo. Great for anyone who does seo and especially for local consultants to use for local businesses. It’s call Measure My SEO. It’s from Jason Fladlien and Wison Mattos (don’t worry I had never heard of them before either).

What this plugin does is it scores you on things that boost SEO. Such as:

Is your keyword in your Meta Tag?

Is your keyword in your Meta Description tag?

Is your keyword phrase in your meta keyword tag?

Is your keyword density matching a level that you get to set.

Is your keyword in an H1 tag along with H2 and H3?

Is your keyword phrase in Strong, bold, italic, or em tags?

Is your keyword image in the alt text of an image?

This tools automatically checks your post as you type it (at an interval you set) and then scores your post. You can also have it checked any time you want by clicking on the SEO check button. There is a video that shows everything and it’s only a few minutes long. You can check it out at measuremyseo.com and the plugin is $49.

It’s SEOPressor but Less Expensive

I talked about SEOPressor in the past. It’s a very cool SEO Plugin that does many of the same things that Measure My SEO does automatically. However, SEOPressor costs $47 for a single license and $97 for an unlimited version. Measure My SEO is $49 and you can use it on any domain that you personally own. Sure it won’t bold my keywords for me, or mark them with italics, but I can do that for myself to save 50 bucks.

Another Premium WordPress SEO Plugin is Inbound Writer

There is a free version of Inbound writer that you can use, but it will tag your article with a link to their website at the end. This is if you use their plugin. If you don’t want that you can create a free account on their website and have their system optimize eight documents per month. If you want unlimted critiques, it’s 19.95 and I assume that takes the tag off your article. This does provide more posts that Scribe (which only gives 15 for $18, but has keyword tools as well). If you want check out the free version they are at inboundwriter.com

Combined with Keyword Winner for a One TWO SEO Knock Out

I previously reported on Keyword winner premium plugin that analyzes Keywords for traffic and competition in minutes. You could use this tool to find good keywords, and then use measure my SEO to make sure you are getting the most out of these keywords. I see where Keyword Winner is $47, but here is a spoiler alert. If you go to leave the page they knock the price down by 10 bucks and throw in a free ebook on Keywords. Check it out at keywordwinner.com

Take Another Look At These

In the past I’ve already spoken about Dimdim.com and Sitepal.com and since those reviews things have drastically changed for the better.

Dimdim.com Adds More Cool Features

Dimdim.com came out with a new version of their system that allows you to hold a webinar for free. If you want to have up to 50 people (you can do up to 20 for free) its only 25 bucks a month (compared to the $60+ I was spending at webex.com ) Here are the cool things I like about dimdim.com

A way to put a widget on the site for people to register for the webinar.You can also collect information about attendants (optional). This was the feature I needed, and I love it.

You can record your webinar and make it available to hear/see afterwards.

They still only allow three people to have microphones, but they do have the ability to use a telephone line as well.

I just know I’m enjoying the savings.

Sitepal Adds the Ability to Turn Yourself into a Cartoon

Sitepal.com recently added a feature where you can upload a picture of yourself, record and upload your voice, and their system turns you into a cartoon that looks real. The feature is called “photo face” and it allows you to upload an image of yourself and then you cut out your face and it will animate it. It’s pretty cool. I would suggest a picture of you where you are staring straight forward for best results. In the picture on the left, I went and traced around my head to make sure only my head was copied into sitepal.

When I played with the preview, I can see where my picture was not the best for this example, but it still worked. When my photo faced version of me would watch the cursor, I looked a little high.

I know what you’re thinking, “Why not just use a video?” Well you can update what you say by phone. You can also have the character as a lead generator where it collects email addresses, and it can also be programmed to answer frequently asked questions (much like those pop out virtual assistants everyone has now that show up when you close the browser). These feature make it a very powerful tool, and shows you are on the edge of technology. If you don’t want to animate yourself, you can also pick from any of there many characters. You can go over and play with the demo at their site. it’s fun.
