Stallion WordPress SEO Posts Widget : Google Panda SEO

The Stallion WordPress SEO Posts Widget is by far the best WordPress SEO Widget you’ll ever use, it is awesome
The SEO widget can be used to form links to no fewer than 6 types of post sets AND reverse those results, so each widget type is doubled other than random giving a total of 11 possible core sidebar widgets:

Stallion WordPress SEO Widget

Popular Posts by comment count
Recent Posts by date
Recently Modified Posts
Random Posts
Reverse Alphabetical Posts by title Z-A
Highest Post ID
Reverse Option results in
Least Popular Posts by comment count
Oldest Posts by date
Oldest Modified Posts
Random Posts (no change)
Alphabetical Posts by title A-Z
Lowest Post ID
The above covers all possible ways to order your sites posts.
Depending on which of the above is selected determines what heading you give a widget.

For example on most of my sites I always set a Popular Posts and a Recent Posts widget (the Stallion WordPress SEO Posts Widget is a multi widget and can be added multiple times) and tend to name them Popular Articles or Popular Posts, Recent Articles or Latest Articles or Recent Posts or Latest Posts or something more unique to the niche of the site like Latest Recipes for a fecipe site, really all depends on the site.
Choose the number of posts, I tend to set to 5.
Now we come to the interesting features, the Stallion WordPress SEO Posts Widget can generate text links, image links (using a variety of image sources for the thumbnails on the fly), both image and text links and excerpts from posts.
Each post can range from a thumbnail image (you choose the dimensions) that’s not clickable (could be used for adding some images to a sidebar) to a linked image, text link and excerpt all with fully SEO’d anchor text and alt text.
The thumbnail images are selected automatically by Stallion from the following sources.
WordPress Featured Image as set on the posts edit screen : tends to be a 150px by 150px wide thumbnail image that WordPress created when you uploaded the image. Note this image isn’t used in multi-site setups, had a bug (not a problem, set a Stallion Featured Thumbnail).
Stallion Featured Thumbnail Image as set on the posts edit screen : Stallion uses Timthumb to resize the image on the fly to whatever height/width you set so don’t worry if you set a large image to use in another Stallion feature.
Stallion Random Thumbnail Set Stallion includes a small number of random thumbnail sets, more are available as part of Stallion Child Themes. An image from the set will be loaded at random on every page load and resized using Timthumb.
As you can see without doing any work all posts can have a random thumbnail added to this widget, with a little effort adding Stallion Featured Thumbnails the images can be specific to the post.
Now we get into unique Stallion Google Panda Busting SEO Features, there are two settings:
Link Anchor Text AIOSEO Priority and Image Alt Text AIOSEO Priority.
When the Stallion All in One SEO ON option is set under the Stallion SEO Advanced Options page these SEO widget settings check for what you added in the Stallion All In One SEO Pack fields on the posts edit screens. Every post and page when you create or edit it has 7 fields for adding SEO information about the post/page, 5 of those fields and the Original Title of the Post are available to use by the Stallion WordPress SEO Posts Widget:
Stallion All In One SEO Title Tag
Stallion All In One SEO Related Keyphrase 1
Stallion All In One SEO Related Keyphrase 2
Stallion All In One SEO Related Keyphrase 3
Stallion All In One SEO Related Keyphrase 4
Original WordPress Title

If you set an SEO widget
Link Anchor Text AIOSEO Priority to Stallion All In One SEO Title Tag
and
Image Alt Text AIOSEO Priority to Stallion All In One SEO Related Keyphrase 2
That widget will use whatever text you added to those fields for the anchor text and alt text of links etc…
The SEO reason for having this option is to mix up the anchor text of internal links to both combat the latest Google Panda Search Engine Algorithm that is looking closer at links and increase the SERPs a post will rank for.
The anchor text of text links and alt text of image links to a page are very important, by mixing up the keyphrases used not only does it increase variability in what Google sees as your posts backlinks (internal links are backlinks), but makes your internal links more natural.
Consider when a person adds a link to your site they won’t always use the posts title, this Stallion SEO feature better mimics this natural linking behavior.
This still isn’t perfect Panda SEO, the links though using different alt/anchor text than other internal links to those pages they are still sitewide links with the same anchor/alt text sitewide. In a perfect SEO world the links would use a variety of keyphrases so there are no sitewide links using the same anchor/alt text.
In Stallion 7.2 it gets closer to perfect Panda SEO with three All In One SEO Google Panda Buster options for the anchor text and three for the alt text options.
Where the above Stallion 7.1.1 options mix the anchor text and alt text between widgets and other links from other parts of the site all the links anchor and alt text are still identical sitewide. In Stallion 7.2 the keyphrases used on the front/home page, posts, pages, categories, tags etc.. can all be different to each other which means the internal links are really mixed up a LOT.
Below are what the All In One SEO Google Panda Buster settings output for both anchor text and alt text. The Panda Buster Sets are organised for maximum variability in the anchor/alt text usage.

Each of the 6 All In One SEO Google Panda Buster sets are unique, the idea is choose two different sets (one for alt and one for anchor text) for each widget.
With most sites you are unlikely to need more than 3 Stallion SEO Posts Widgets, easiest way to use these options is on one widget set the anchor text to All In One SEO Google Panda Buster 1 and the alt text to All In One SEO Google Panda Buster 2. On another SEO Posts widget set the anchor text to All In One SEO Google Panda Buster 3 and the alt text to All In One SEO Google Panda Buster 4, if you use a third SEO Posts Widget set them to 5 and 6. This will ensure even if all three widgets output the same links (say you set three Popular Posts Widget for a weird reason ) the anchor text and alt text of all three would be unique even though the links are identical.
The above sets are also available in the Stallion WordPress SEO Recent Comments Widget, if you have used sets 1, 2, 3 and 4 for SEO Posts widgets use 5 or 6 for the Recent comments widget. If you managed to use all 6 sets on your Stallion SEO Posts Widgets choose one at random.

More Stallion Google Panda Busting SEO

Under the Stallion Layout Options page is a setting Widget Display ON that adds new options to all multi-widgets (not just the SEO Posts widget). The new options include the ability to show/hide a widget on a single post, page, category and other options. By using this Stallion feature you can set a widget to load or not load on sections of a site.
For example you could set a Popular Articles widget built with the Stallion WordPress SEO Post Widget to only show on the home/front page or to not load on pages or only load on two categories and search results, the options are limit less.
This feature could be particularly useful on larger sites, for example a Recent Posts widget is usually a good idea for most sites so when a new post is live Google finds it quickly, any page Google spiders will have a Recent Posts. However on a site with 10,000 posts do we really need 10,000 links to a new post? Not really, maybe 10% (1,000 posts) of the site linking to new posts are enough, so limiting a Recent Posts widget to some categories can reduce the number of identical links.
The Stallion WordPress SEO Posts Widget is a must use widget and used alongside the Stallion All In One SEO Keyphrases can help with the latest Google Panda Algorithm Changes.
