So, it’s about time I got into the Wordpress plugin development I thought:-) So, this is my first Wordpress plugin. It’s called Bold SEO and simply put, it bolds your specified SEO keywords a specific number of instances, so that they will be having more weight than the other text in the post – giving you more SEO juice.
Well, search engines have been known to give more importance to HTML tags like <h1>, <h2>, <b> in your content. For an example, if you can wrap up your keywords in <b> tag – that is, if you can bold your keywords in your content, that will play out positively for you in ranking higher for your targeted keywords.
Doing this (bolding out keywords) excessively and bolding out every instance of that keyword in your content will set off an alarm on search engines since that looks like keyword spamming. This is why Bold SEO makes only the first 3 instances of each of your keywords bold (in a content body), and no more.
And bold SEO does this to all of your pages/posts automatically, only in the actual post content. And this will ensure your keywords are shown off to the search engines, without any penalization from the search engines.
That’s it! All the best with your SEO!!
Two things I would say. First- There are many plug-ins that are rich in functions, anyway its a good start though. Good Start Is Half Done. Second- I really loved your theme.

Nadeesha,
Good to see that you have come up with your own plugin. The plugin BOLD SEO is a unique plugin.
As mike mentioned in his comment. I am also thinking of developing a plugin. hope i also come up with on in future
All the best. I will try using the plugin and will let you know if i find any problems in it.
Please do. Will be happy to help.
This sounds like a very interesting plugin you’re developing. I’m more of a hands on person and like to use bold for various reasons. Mostly, I’m old school when word processing was just getting started. Leading people down a page with the proper use of bolding is always a great way to make your posts not only stand out but get read. Great idea, and I admire you doing the programming!
Thanks Diane! Appreciate it.
This looks good
Nice plugin.
Stumbled
I have not tried it when submitting a new post, but I can tell you that it DOES not change any of the existing posts. I am using Wordpress 2.6.5. It does not work.
Paul, you must publish the post first. Only then the bold words would appear. And it will automatically bold the previous posts too.
I can’t this plugin work with WP 2.7. Is this known issue or is it me?
[...] If you are currently running Wordpress, there is a plugin that bolds the keywords for you with no work at all. The plugin is called BoldSEO and can be found at Rockfuse.com. [...]
I think its true that blog and dense keyword will help your blog to get traffic but if and only if your page rank is better. THANKS
