Almost a week ago we wrote a post about how we noticed that the All-in-One SEO Pack was no longer supported by the original author, Uberdose.  This was obviously very concerning for many WordPress users as it is the most popular plugin and so many people have come to rely on it to optimize their blogs for search engines.

My original concern was that the author had not disclosed licensing information with the release of the plugin, but I noticed today that an update to this plugin was available and it appears that someone else is now supporting this plugin.  If you are wondering who is now supporting it, you can find information about the new owner over at ImBloggingThat.

Though this is exciting news for users of this plugin, I’m not familiar with the author so hopefully he is up on the latest SEO techniques and provides a similar commitment to what Uberdose did for the plugin. Ideally, this plugin really needs to be built into the standard WordPress install because it is so important and widely used, and everyone either is or should be using it if they aren’t already using a more advanced version like SEO Sniper.  Can we get this built into WordPress 2.7?  Only time will tell…

    1.4.6.9 comes up as “1.4.6.8″ after installing because the new developer left everything untouched in the code.

  2. Well including it in the next version of Wordpress would make too much sense! Why would we want to do that? ;)

  3. Michael says:

    I’m glad to see that it’s getting picked up and I hope it continues to improve as it has been.

    I wouldn’t bother. It’s nice to add in the meta tags, but meta tags have been dead for years!

    There is so much more to SEO that what this plug-in offers.
