It allows the webmaster to select the keywords he/she wants to optimize from the administration panel and let’s them assign a limit to the number of times a chosen effect is applied to those keywords.

Did you use Forum Server by any chance? Or, do you know of a website that is using it? It sounds interesting. I have a few different WordPress blogs that I could set up a WordPress forum for. I’d like to check it out before installing it.

Hi George,
Now they all make more sense to me. :-)
Being a new WP user it’s fascinating to actually try and explore the plugins. I’m interested in Seo Top Tip, kinda like the Greetbox only it could be used as a post-promotional tool/special message @ advice for visitors. May come in handy.

Great suggestions. Stumbled.
