Scribe is a new WordPress plugin from Brian Clark, publisher of Copyblogger, that helps writers optimize content.
I have never been much of an SEO guy, so I was excited when I heard about this tool to improve my blog posts. I’ve been using the All in One SEO Pack plugin for quite a while, but I’ve wanted more.
Anyhow, Scribe certainly delivers more. The software analyzes blog posts before you hit the “Publish” button, and the Scribe API reports back to the WordPress interface with details on tweaking the content to get more search engine traffic, while maintaining quality reader-focused copy.
When I’ve used some other SEO tools, the process didn’t feel natural, where I’d be asked for a keyword phrase and then guided to construct content around it. That method felt forced to me.
Instead, with Scribe, I write the content naturally, and then it’s analyzed, so my natural flow is preserved.
Also, Scribe reveals what search engines will think I’m writing about, and it suggests changes to better reflect the language searchers are using. The software also guides me through remaining content elements based on SEO best practices.
I’d highly recommend Scribe – I’m using it on all my blogs now.
The only downside is that Scribe makes me neurotic when I write short posts, because the software recommends a WordPress post be 300 words or more. Otherwise, great stuff.
