Oh yes Bijay; Yoast is right at the top. My favorite plug in and all around winner; this one is so easy to follow, to use and to receive benefit from. I ranked on Page 1 of Google about a year ago for 2 hyper competitive keywords by writing helpful posts and by listening to Yoast, until I nailed down all green check marks. Super list.
Hey Ryan, We too use Yoast for WP Villa and I must say it has really been helpful.
Thanks
