FV Simpler SEO

I used to use some other well-known SEO plugins for small projects, but found myself repeating to my clients that only 2 settings were really important for them to add to each page/post: title and description (I use another plugin to automatically add keywords based on content).  I even went so far as to hide some settings in other plugins with css or javascript to get clients to stop fiddling with them.
This plugin solves those problems for me, and seems to keep up with other SEO plugins I've used (for small projects).  Now, it is my go-to solution for giving my clients an easy, no hassle SEO solution they can understand with no direction.
I only request that the author add support for custom post types - then, it would probably be my go-to solution for all client projects.

The plugin adds a meta-tag to the html-header-part of your blog. This meta-tag contains keywords that describe the contents of the html-page. Adding this kind of meta-tag is one part of the job of optimizing your blog for search engines. To learn more about search engine optimization, I recommend reading and understanding these articles:

WPtags 4 MetaKeywords

This is a tiny, lightweight plugin I wrote to use the new native tagging from WordPress 2.3+ to automatically create a meta-keyword-tag for my blog.
