0 CommentsMost of us use WordPress themes or plugins to manage our SEO settings. Most WordPress webmasters rely on plugins such as All In One SEO, WordPress SEO, or Greg’s High Performance SEO to manage their title tags and other on-page SEO factors. Of course, if you are using a sophisticated theme framework such as Builder, Thesis, Headway, or Genesis, you already have everything you need to optimize your website for the search engines.

SEO Data Transporter is a handy plugin that makes transferring your SEO options from one theme/plugin to another easy.
