      I'm looking for a wordpress plugin that that keeps current/updates with all the changes that constantly take place on various search engines. Is there such an addon that meets this criteria?

        The best one that I have used is SEO plugin by Yoast.

        Tons of great features.

            Since both you and David recomended yoast I'm assuming it's the real deal. Thanks, and thanks for answering all my questions so quickly tonight Smartlock.

            One last thing before I log off for the night,

            That article looks pretty complicated for someone with no SEO experience. Would I need an SEO expert to set it up? Or am I just being intimidated by the SEO jargon? lol

              If you download the app and follow the instructions in that article you should be just fine, don't be intimated and if you have any more questions while you are setting up your Yoast account ask them here and someone will help you out 🙂

                It depends on your wordpress theme. Some themes use a complicated method of displaying the meta description and Yoast SEO will tell you there are multiple description tags. It will offer to try to fix it automatically which works in some themes and breaks others. It's best to have some professional help available in case it messes up your template.
