There’s a real nice tool that has the options of the All-in-One SEO Pack but includes a lot more advanced SEO options. It’s called WP SEO Sniper.

Here’s some great features this seo plugin has -

* Give your important content more PageRank by cutting out redundant pages.
* Preserves more PageRank to be shared amongst your lower level content pages.
* Make your entry in the search engines stand out and entice more clicks.
* Push more PageRank down to your individual posts.
* Preserve more PageRank to be shared amongst your posts.
* Preserve more PageRank to be shared amongst your pages.
* Since tags are mostly for human benefit, the value of having tag archives in the search engine index is debatable.
* Preserve more PageRank to go to your valuable content.
* Give your blog a fully SEO’d footer menu with selective nofollows on the links.
* Include your Google code without having to edit your theme files.
* Precisely control how PageRank flows to a page.
* Keep unimportant content out of the search engine index completely.
* Make your entry in the search engines stand out and entice more clicks.
* Keep unimportant pages out of the list of pages. Many themes use the page list to build a main top menu. Control which pages appear in that important menu.
* Individually style a particular post or page if you wish to do so.
* Send request for, and the original PageRank, from a redundant post or page to a new post or page.
* Implement SEO Fast Start Tiered Pairing or Circular Navigation techniques on your posts and pages to give each post or page as much PageRank as possible.

It installs just like any other plugin and has it’s own section in the wordpress admin for all the options. Check it out and decide for yourself.
