Optimizing a wordpress blog is not an easy job, and not that hard too if you once get into it and learn the basics. I once shared some wordpress seo tweaks and also some reasons why wordpress rocks against blogger platform. And apart from the title, description and keywords optimization, the main part is also the URL of the post, which plays a major role in SEO of the blog.

The URL has to be short and having mainly the keywords that are in the title, and you should have mroe density of those keywords rather than the extra words like the stopwords a, an, the, of, and etc. so that it looks better and also the keyword dominance of main keywords is higher. This helps in SEO.

Its not easy to edit permalink always for every post that you are writing, so here is a plugin that would help in excluding the unnecessary stopwords from the URL of the blog post. What this plugin does is that it tries to reduce the length of the URL by removing the small words.

Eg. You made a post about “How to sync bookmarks in Firefox browsers”, you would see something like – www.yourblog.com/how-to-sync-bookmarks-in-firefox-browsers
But this plugin would make the URL into – www.yourblog.com/sync-bookmarks-firefox-browsers
This plugin removes the stopwords from the URLs for better SEO optimization of your blog and for making better and smaller URLs. You can set the stopwords through the `Plugins’ menu in WordPress wp-admin.

You can use and download the Stopwords remover plugin from here.
