Top WordPress Plugins 2013

In my view, one of the main reasons so many of us use WordPress to publish out content is due to the awesome free plugins available to ensure that our Onpage Optimization SEO efforts produce good results. By good results, I am referring to finding the right mix of onpage optimization seo and offpage optimization seo tactics will help our web pages get ranked on page 1 of Google for our targeted keyword phrase.
