2.WordPress SEO ByYoast
This is my all time favourite plugin and I am currently using it on my blog.

The folks over at foliovision are big WordPress enthusiasts and understand the importance of search engine optimization. It’s common knowledge among Internet marketers these days that keywords in meta data are basically ignored by search engines (due to lots of keyword stuffing previously in an attempt to trick them). So the FV Simpler SEO Pack looks to remove unwanted features from previous SEO Plugins, to minimize the effort of writers. They found that authors were often times confused having to enter both keyword tags and keywords in the meta description when creating a new post. So this plugin looks to make it easier to optimize sites with advanced functionality available but mostly hidden out of the way for simplicity and speed.4.SEOPressor

7. SEO Friendly Images
SEO Friendly Images automatically adds proper alt and title attributes to all your images (according to the options you set) improving traffic from search engines.

The TITLE tag plays a lesser role in SEO but is still important as this text provides tool-tips for your readers when they hover over an image. Not all WordPress themes insert ALT and TITLE text into your images automatically after inserting them into a post, making this issue a frequent SEO problem for websites.ALSO READ: 10 SEO Tips For Blogspot Blogs
8. Nginx Helper
Website speed can also play a large factor in SEO. Using a cache to temporarily store static resources like images, CSS and JavaScript files in RAM can greatly speed up your website.
