34SP.com Staff

The latest tranche of our new 34SP.com survey research has been published today which looks at exactly how WordPress is being used and by who. We are pleased to reveal that WordPress SEO by Yoast is now the most popular plug-in among the developers surveyed.

While antispam plug-in Askimet, All In One SEO Pack, and Google XML Site Maps and Contact Form have all been downloaded more often, it seems among experts WordPress SEO by Joost de Valk’s Yoast is the most popular among those in the know.

Yoast’s WordPress SEO is loved by amateurs, owner managed business owners and professional online marketers.

Our research shows that experts love the technical complexity and simplicity that the plug-in offers. While small business owners claim the plug-in is easy to use and that Joost de Valk’s Yoast offers excellent support and guidance on how to market a website online without necessarily being an expert in SEO.

Yoast’s CEO and Founder, Joost de Valk said, ”Getting praise like this is of course always nice and shows that the huge investments we make in continually optimizing our plug-ins pay off. We’ll continue to build and improve on our plug-ins to try and maintain our position as one of the leading plug-in development companies.”

Yoast was founded in May of 2010. The company focuses on consulting in SEO, WordPress optimization and online marketing and content strategy.

34SP.com recently surveyed over 1,000 small business owners to determine how they were utilising the WordPress content management system in their businesses. To obtain a more comprehensive view of the WordPress Survey data please reference this page: www.34sp.com/wordpress-website.
