Basic idea behind SEO Booster Lite plugin is very simple, but it’s very effective. Plugin tracks visits from search engines and saves data about search query, landing page on your blog and position of the query string on the search engine. And in turn uses that data for widget with links to the posts that were found on search engine second page with results.

Features

Plugin requires very little interaction, and options you can use are minimal. But in most cases you will not need anything more. Widget is also very straight forward and you can choose maximal number of posts to display. Plugin admin panel shows top 10 queries and latest 35 visits from search engines. It would be good to have some more options to review the lists, and also lists have some styling problems in WP 2.7 but I expect that to be sorted out in the future versions.

Plugin will use only results from page 2 of the search engine in the attempt to boost the position to the first page. This process is not very fast and it takes some time for plugin to gather enough data, and that again depends on the traffic you get from the search engines. My latest website TVScape.NET is online now for less than two weeks, and after first week plugin was already displaying results in the widget. On this site it took a bit longer. Lite version allows you to clean the database and remove all the recorded data.

Lars, plugin author has also provided a Pro version of the plugin for me to try. And, there are many features pro version has over Lite that will improve the plugin’s usability. Pro version allows boosting from any range of pages, not only page 2 with results. Also, you can see keyword ranking and with that you can have more control over the boosting.

Pro version has many more interesting features including export of data, displaying of trends, keywords exclusion…

Conclusion

There are some things that need to be upgraded in terms on how the interface looks. Maybe a tabbed interface will be better. Anyway, most important is that the plugin works, and you will rarely use it’s admin panel.

I recommend that you try the Lite version first to see how it works. But be patient, because results will not be instant, you need to wait for the plugin to show it’s strength. Right now I use it on all my blogs and I recommend it to everyone. But, also think about purchasing the Pro edition because it will allow you much more control over the final results.
