By default, just having the plugin installed is a good thing because it rewrites your web page titles and helps restructure your URLs to be more search engine friendly.

1) Login to WordPress

2) Add a New Post

3) Write Your Post

4) Copy and paste your post title and select roughly 160 characters of text that you would like to appear in your ‘description’ when Google indexes your site into the All in One SEO Pack

Your Site Title and Your Google 'Description'

5) Paste it in the All in One SEO Pack plugin that is located below your text input window like so (remember to add a few tags you would like to include in your meta tags of your page):

6) Click ‘publish’ or ‘update post’ to save your changes and add these descriptions to your page.

If you’re not sold on the idea yet, just have a look at some of the automated messages that spammers send as comments. It actually makes sense and seems like a good comment that a reader has left on your blog, but clicking back on the link of the commentor and you’ll find that it’s probably a website selling domain names or something similar like that.

Also, I encourage people to always set comment moderation to ‘on’ even with Akismet installed as some messages do get through their filters. On one of my other blogs, I get an average of 20 – 30 spam messages a day caught by Akismet.

Imagine getting 30 messages like this for every post that you write? And imagine having to go through your ‘comments awaiting moderation’ every day deleting these one by one. Install Akismet, it’s a must, and it’s FREE.

N/B: Check through your spam folder every once in a while as Akismet also does catch messages that isn’t actually SPAM. But this happens very rarely, but better to be safe than sorry right?

Happy spam catching,
