NOTE: The plugin does not make any guarantee on the search ranking placement of your site. The ranking position is up to the search engine, which no one really have control over (unless you pay to be on top etc..) For the Sitemap part, the main job of the plugin is to “generate the sitemap” of links on your site for you, so that you do not have to do it manually (imaging create a sitemap with thousand of urls yourself). It also (optionally) help you submit that sitemap to the search engines, so that you do not have to manually do it. Submitting a site map does NOT guarantee that it would have good or bad effect on your site placement in anyway. Sitemap XML helps search engine bots find pages on the site. If you have question about placement / ranking position of your site, you should contact search engine or SEO firm for full analysis.
Below is the direct quote from WikiPedia, you can learn more about site map on Sitemap Wiki page.
Google introduced Google Sitemaps so web developers can publish lists of links from across their sites. The basic premise is that some sites have a large number of dynamic pages that are only available through the use of forms and user entries. The Sitemap files can then be used to indicate to a web crawler how such pages can be found. Bing, Google, Yahoo and Ask now jointly support the Sitemaps protocol.
Since Bing, Yahoo, Ask, and Google use the same protocol, having a Sitemap lets the four biggest search engines have the updated page information. Sitemaps do not guarantee all links will be crawled, and being crawled does not guarantee indexing. However, a Sitemap is still the best insurance for getting a search engine to learn about your entire site.

You are a God!! Finally somebody created the most need plug-in for social engine. I have worked as a Seo consultant for a long time and Social engine really lacks this SEO aspects. This is probably the most valuable plug-in you could get for SE and its worth way more than 40 dollars. Well done Vincent, I have not been this excited about a plugin in a long time. Going to buy it tonight again.
Thank you thank you thank you!

Hello Vincent,
If I bought the sitemap plugin, would I also need the xml plugin?
Thanks…Melita

oh this is just awesome!
i worked a lot with optimizing meta for pages generated by different plugins from a huge list of developers – and i really hope your SEO plugin would help to finalize my work.
here’s my 2 questions:
1. will it work with plugins from other developers?
2. will it override global description and keywords for pages generated with those plugins? i mean, Jaatava all-in-one video has no SEO for videos, will your plugin help me organize those pages like “every video page has it’s title and description added to meta title and desc etc.”
god i wish it works, but anyway i’ll be getting your plugin soon, it’s just awesome.
thank you!

Hi Vincent, will this affect any of the core code of SE or other plugins? Is it standalone? Thanks!
February 4, 2010
@Mark / Carlos: It’s a standalone plugin just like other plugins, and does not effect any others

You have been reading my mind! I will be buying this plugin very soon!
A great companion plugin would be one that retrieves your website’s SEO ratings from the major SE, stores them in history to show progress in some simple graphs, and keeps track of your competitors’ websites too!

Hi Vincent,
When setting up my sitemap, global settings, to submit to google I need to insert google’s tracking code for google’s analytics into my html code. I tried inserting the code into my “header global.tpl” and my home page disappears. Can you tell me where to insert their code because when I submit my xml pages, google submit fails.
Thank you…Melita
