Most people who use complex “All In One” SEO plugins mess up their SEO because they don’t actually understand what they are doing.
It is not the fault of the plugins, those are just tools, but you shouldn’t give razorblades to babies either.

WPseo looks usable, and at least one feature is very sought after.

I really don’t see the use for wpSEO if you already use All-in-One SEO pack, so I’ll have to agree with the previous posters.

You’re absolutely right about wpseo being paid. I apologize for my misstatement. I should have translated the page before I spoke.

I agree with Chetan - WPseo would have to have something remarkable to make me swap from All In One, which is a fantastic plugin.

for those eager to read wpseo in english try google translate http://translate.google.com/tr.....pseo.de%2F

WPSEO is a very decent seo package, I recommend it. I’ve been using this plugin for almost a year. Its has support for various meta tag (title,desc,robots,keywords), build in intelligent keywords search for certain html tag then append it as keywords and lots of settings. You can also export your configurations settings to xml file for backup purpose. That’s fairly the good part of it.

The not so goody part, it has a build in “updater”. I think its bad ideas, having a script remotely send packet to another untrusted server for update without the client permission. IMO its a security threat (information leak). I drop lots of plugins because of that reason alone.

Can you please tell, how wpseo is different from all-in-one SEO ?
is there any need for that if AIO SEO is already there ?

wpSEO is not free. It’s a commercial product. Cost a minimum of 20 Euro.

WPSeo is free to download, but it looks like the link is broken. I keep getting an error message in German. Translated:
“Error arisen Opps! The entered serial number or the version number of the Plugins is not valid or empty. Please start with the input of the license key again.”

wpSEO looks like you have to pay for download and since doc and description is in german maybe they could post readme from english download version so you know what you are getting into?
