WordPress Plugin Showing Incoming Search Terms for the Article
I used to find a few wordpree site have an “Incoming Search Terms for the Article” section down the bottom of the article page. And wanted to have this function very badly on my blog as well. As it will strengthen our On Page SEO by adding new internal linking to the post using the most popular keywords used by visitors to find the blog post from a search engine ( incoming search terms ).
I search and search on the web, then I find a wordpress Plugin named ” LJ Longtail SEO”, which describe it to have the function of displaying the Incoming Search Terms for the Articles either on the sidebar in the form of a Widget linking to the Top 5 Popular Searches or any place you select on your theme.Then i download and install it,But unfortunately,I find it isn’t what i need.
As described,” LJ Longtail SEO” is possible to display the Incoming Search Terms for the Articles at any place you select on your theme linking to the Top 5 Popular Searches . However, as showing below, ” LJ Longtail SEO” can only show popular incoming Search Terms for all articles, but can’t show for each article. ” LJ Longtail SEO” is usefull but obviously Not enough.
I re-search a lot on the wordpress plugin site. There is a saying “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”, and after a lot of search i finally find what i want, even better than i have expected. That’s the ” SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2″.
Besides the features of Displaying the search terms/keywords used by visitors from search engines for each blog post, SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2 provides more functionality:
- Display the search terms/keywords used by visitors from search engines for each blog post.
- Display the most popular search term for the entire blog posts.
- Display the most recent search terms for the entire blog posts.
- Display random search terms for the entire blog posts.
- Add the list of search terms automatically after the post content or manually by editing the template.
- Limit the search terms to be displayed.
- Display the search terms only or automatically change it into internal linking to the blog post or search page.
- Display popularity ( search counter ) after each keyword.
- Automatically delete unused search terms after X days.
- Automatically convert popular search terms into Post Tags.
- Display most popular search terms in the archive category ( courtesy of Pile )
- Delete unwanted search engine terms & delete all search terms ( reset ).
- Popular, Popular in Category, Random & Recent Search Terms widgets ( you can find it on page Appearance > Widgets ).
- Block unwanted keywords/bad words.
Here are a few screenshots of the reports this plugin is going to give you in the Admin Panel and how this information can be helpful to you for making the Long Tail Key Phrases rank better. (The images below have been reduced in size. Click on it to see the full version.)
The effect.
By default, this plugin add list automatically right after your post content, but I think this would impact user experience, so i disable it and manually put the plugin code into the single.php below the comment form. I also change it to display the search terms in the form of paragraphs, separated by commas, not in the form of a list like the plugin default format. You can see my setting above.
You can download this SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2 Plugin on wordpress at Here,or just search from WordPress Admin Plugin > Add New.This plugin requires WordPress Version 2.5 or higher,and works fine with the lattest version wordpress 3.0.
The Manual Usage Instructions of this plugin is useful, you can easily add your Incoming Search Terms for the Article function, as well as the showing the “Recent Search Terms” and “Popular Search Terms”. If you have any problem,just leave a Comment below,I’d be happly to help.
Just installed this plugin in to one of my sites. Hope this will improve SEO or increase traffic somehow. ^_^
Many so-called SEO or internet marketing gurus these days are merely generating a great deal of bluff by exhibiting intricate methods that just audio incredible but never ever actually get the job done. In my view, SEO ideas that happen to be easy and simple tend to be those which can be best.
nice one thanks..
Hi there. Thanks for this wonderful post. One thing I would like to ask, how is your “Recent Search Terms” in the sidebar widget linked to the post. I tried this, and it linked to something like “www.blog.com/search/”
Did you have to change any setting to get this result where the sidebar links directly link to your posts and not /search/?
@iTunesApp: You are welcome.
After you have actived the “SEO SearchTerms 2” plugin, you will find a available widget named “Recent Search Terms”, add that widget to the sidebar. Then click that widget and you will get the setting. Hope this helped.
With best regards.
Thanks William!
Where do I find the plugin code? Thank you so much for your help btw…
@woody: in the Help menu of this plugin.
Hello there…
I enjoyed your helpful article, but would like to know how I can fix it so that the incoming searches show up after my sharethis plugin or large rectangle adsense ad.
You mentioned you’re able to edit it after the comments, but I use pages more than posts. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
@woody: Just disable the “Add list automatically right after post content: ” option, and manually put the plugin code into the page.php, right after your adsense ad code.
Hope this helped.

Very neat plugin, but do the search terms come from google only ? Is it a no risk plugin or do you think it could be risky ?
@marche des chages:

2, So far, I I think that there is no risk.
