Recently, I uninstalled SEO SearchTerms Tagging2 plugin from my blog after using it for 60 days. In this article I am going to write a review of this plugin. I am going to tell you what are the negative and positive points of using this plugin and will also tell you if this plugin caused any affect to my traffic or not. Lets start
What is SEO SearchTerms Tagging2 WordPress Plugin
Basically this plugin automatically adds keyword to articles that user typed in search engines and came to our blog page. If you want, you can install this plugin from here.
Positive points about this plugin
Increase traffic : When I installed this plugin, it automatically added few keywords to all my guest posts that got top rank in search engines. Those keywords proved very beneficial to get me top rank for few other keywords. Thus this plugin can be useful to get bit of traffic from search engines.
Can tell source of traffic : You can easily get to know which pages of your site are getting traffic from search engines. But you’ve to check all the ages manually. Whatever your goals may be, working with an expert SEO Sydney agency can be the best way to ensure that your strategy is designed to succeed.
Negative points about this plugin
Keyword Stuffing risk : This plugin can sometimes break the keyword density of your page thus resulting in low rankings. There were few pages in my blog that were full of keywords that were automatically added to my page. Thus risk of keyword stuffing increased.
Looks non-professional : If you are using this plugin, your blog may seem non-professional because professionals does not write for search engines, they write for information seekers. Just image a bunch of keywords are displayed on the bottom of every article, how unprofessional it looks.
Not good for long-term basis : If you want, you can use this plugin for 1-2 months and then uninstall it. It is not good for long-term basis as your blog pages can get ban due to keyword stuffing.
Did my traffic increased after installing this plugin
Yes it increased but the change was very minor. I noticed that some of my article got higher rankings for few other keywords also with this plugin. It helped me to gain traffic, but for a long-term basis I do not recommend this plugin.

I think every blogger likes to look professional and if this plugin doesn’t helping in that way then I think it’s totally waste.
Great Plugin to Share but If this does not seem to look professional then Why we use this plugin?
Actually, that is one of the best way to increase page ranking for your post because it could be add your key words automatically. So i think-it has an advantages in it.
i used similar plugins , but later decided to drop all these and instead focus on writing articles in a manner they are easy to read and keyword friendly
seems like anything more than all-in-one seo doesnt do too much and runs the risk of causing more problems
I am looking to use plugins like this but as you told that It cause the risk of keyword stuffing then Is their any way to avoid this or any plugin that we can use
This looks like a good plugin. But just like what you have said, it’s not for long term. The top disadvantage is the risk of keyword stuffing. 🙂
huge traffic with in week this plugin installed
Thank you so much for sharing great post. Great plugin 🙂
I was just trying to install this plugin. But now that I saw your post, it seems this is not such a good idea anymore due to the keyword stuffing issue. Anyway, thanks for this information. I’ll still give this plugin a trial anyway, just to test its effectiveness.
i used this for about 2 weeks. here are my observations:
— traffic increased, but not substantially. if you want a spike in traffic, this plugin will work.
— the site looked like traffic was all i wanted, which was not good for readers
— my adsense earnings took a very, very huge dip. i think that means it recognized the search terms as keyword stuffing
so, i decided to uninstall it immediately. the author is right. it helps increase traffic but is not good in the long run

Thank you for this review. I was about to install this on my blog but you have convinced me not do to so. I agree it definitely will look like keyword stuffing and your visitors to the site will not like it.
Nice post. I was looking for the pros and cons of search tagging. I have been seeing this plugin in several blogs and thinking of using it in my blog. But after reading your post, decided not to install it.
What do you think about the “search link” option? Does it increase the links of the website in google?
Me too was using this plugin. Now I removed it.
