    Thanks for sharing Jakson! I have used this plugin in the past and found it to help my SEO attempts more than some SEO plugins. One thing I would say is that if you are running a blog and trying to get search engine attention through your posts, you could change the "Frequency" setting to "Daily" or "Weekly" for your posts. Another good way to tell Google that your site's priority is blog posts is to change the "Priorities" section. Set Homepage to 0.6 and Posts to 1.0. Of course, this is only if you're writing articles frequently.

    This is a very helpful video but I sure wish you would interact with your commentators as they ask some great questions that some of us would be interested in the answers on. Do you have a different preferred mode of interacting? (Thanks again)
