For example, you can add index, noindex, follow or nofollow, noodp, noydir meta tags to any post/page.If you wish, you can do away with the universal title format that the plugin offers for any post or page.

Uberdose, built the world’s most popular wordpress plugin “All in One SEO“. I too liked his plugin but was looking for more options in it.I developed Platinum SEO plugin for my own blogs.But now that Uberdose no longer supports All in One SEO, I decided to release this plugin to benefit wordpress community.I know that someone else has taken over the support and maintenance of All in One SEO.But I wanted Platinum SEO plugin to not only automate SEO for wordpress blogs, but also provide an ultimate onsite SEO (search engine optimization) solution for wordpress blogs.I find many wordpress users asking for explanations of the various options. I have already made a comprehensive explanation post on it.You will have to read this post on smart WordPress SEO options for smart benefits.

If you are already using All In One SEO Pack, this plugin will automatically import all the settings, that you have defined using All in one SEO plugin.You just need to verify the options, through Setting->Platinum SEO page of your wordpress blog.Platinum SEO Pack is also compatible with earlier versions of wordpress, though I recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of wordpress.

I would request other language users to help me make this plugin multilingual.It is not very difficult, to make this multilingual .
