IndexMeNow
IndexMeNow connects your WordPress site to the IndexMeNow service to accelerate Google indexation of your pages and posts. When you publish or update content, getting it indexed by Google can take days or even weeks. IndexMeNow solves this problem by submitting your URLs to Google through multiple channels, significantly reducing indexation time. Key Features 6 push methods – Manual push, bulk push from posts list, auto-push on publish, auto-push on update, admin bar quick push, and sitemap push Dashboard widget – View your credit balance and recent push activity directly on the WordPress dashboard Smart duplicate detection – URLs already being indexed are automatically skipped to save credits Push history tracking – Complete log of all push attempts with status, trigger, and timestamp Project management – Create projects automatically or use existing ones from your IndexMeNow account Post type filtering – Choose which content types (posts, pages, custom post types) can be pushed Category filtering – Only auto-push posts from specific categories Low credits alert – Get notified when your credit balance falls below a configurable threshold Secure storage – API key is encoded before being stored in the database Multi-language – English and French translations included Push Methods 1. Manual Push (Editor Metabox) A dedicated metabox appears in the post/page editor sidebar. Click “Push to IndexMeNow” to send the current URL. Recent push history is displayed directly in the metabox. 2. Posts List Actions Push URLs directly from the Posts/Pages list screen. Use the “Push to IndexMeNow” row action for individual posts, or select multiple posts and use the bulk action to push them all at once. 3. Admin Bar Quick Push When viewing a published post on the frontend while logged in, an “IndexMeNow” button appears in the WordPress admin bar. One click sends the URL without needing to open the editor. 4. Auto-Push on First Publish Enable this option to automatically push URLs when content is first published. Draft-to-publish transitions trigger the push. Re-publishing or scheduling does not trigger duplicate pushes. 5. Auto-Push on Update Enable this option to automatically push URLs when a published post’s title or content is modified. Minor changes (categories, tags, featured image) do not trigger a push. 6. Sitemap Push Push all URLs from your XML sitemap at once. Ideal for bulk indexation of existing content. The plugin automatically detects your sitemap (WordPress core, Yoast SEO, etc.) and lets you select which URLs to push. How Credits Work IndexMeNow uses a credit-based system. Each URL push consumes 1 credit. The plugin checks your credit balance before each push and displays an error if insufficient. You can view your current balance on the settings page, dashboard widget, and refresh it anytime. To avoid wasting credits, the plugin checks if a URL is already being processed before pushing. If the URL is found and not yet completed, the push is skipped automatically. Configuration After activation, go to Settings > IndexMeNow to configure the plugin. Step 1: API Key If you don’t have an account, sign up at indexmenow.com Find your API key at tool.indexmenow.com/docapi Enter your API key in the settings page Click Verify & load projects to validate your key The API key is encoded before being stored in the database. Step 2: Project Selection Choose how URLs should be organized in your IndexMeNow account: Automatic mode (recommended): A project named yourdomain.com (wp-w2) is created automatically on first push Existing project: Select an existing project from your account to use for all pushes Step 3: Auto-Push Options Auto-push on new publish: Automatically push URLs when content is first published (OFF by default) Auto-push on update: Automatically push URLs when published content is modified (OFF by default) Step 4: Post Types Select which content types can be pushed to IndexMeNow: Posts (enabled by default) Pages (enabled by default) Any registered custom post type Only selected post types will show the manual push metabox and be eligible for auto-push. Step 5: Category Filter (Optional) Select specific categories to limit auto-push. When enabled, only posts belonging to selected categories will be auto-pushed. Posts in other categories can still be pushed manually. Leave empty to push all categories. Step 6: Low Credits Alert Set a threshold to receive admin notifications when your credit balance is low. Default is 10 credits. Set to 0 to disable the alert.

Easily override the entire tag contents for any individual post, page, attachment, category, post tag, or post format archive on your blog. Also supports custom post types and custom taxonomies. Customize your homepage’s tag. Format the tags of posts, pages, categories, tags, archives, search results, and more! Choose between two rewrite methods: “output buffering” or “filtering” Meta Description Editor Edit the description tags for posts, pages, attachments, categories, tags, post format archives, and the homepage. Increase SERP clickthrough rates by influencing search engine result snippets. Mass-editor makes it a cinch to go back and add descriptions to old posts. Use the {excerpt::autogen} variable to auto-generate meta descriptions if desired. Deeplink Juggernaut Use the power of anchor text to boost your internal ranking SEO paradigm. Searches your site’s content for anchor texts you specify and automatically links them to a destination of your choosing. Lets you easily build internal links to URLs, posts, pages, attachments, custom post type items, categories, terms, post format archives, and custom taxonomy term archives. Customize footer links for your entire site and/or on a page-by-page basis. Easily select autolink destinations using autocomplete textboxes that scour your site’s content and taxonomy terms to find the link destination you’re looking for. Autolinks point to the objects themselves, not to their URLs, so if you change the URL of a post or category on your site, the autolinks automatically adjust. Avoid over-optimization penalties by controlling the maximum number of autolinks added to each post/page, the maximum number of times an anchor is linked per post/page, and/or the maximum number of times a post/page can link to the same destination. Reduce autolink frequency by a given percentage (globally or per-link) with the frequency dampener feature. (Useful for large sites.) Choose whether or not posts can link to themselves and/or to the current URL with a few simple checkboxes. Apply the nofollow attribute on a per-link basis. (Perfect for automatic affiliate links.) Exclude specific posts/pages from having links added to them, if desired (e.g. contact pages, the homepage, etc.). Import/export your links as CSV files. Create links pointing to draft posts that will auto-enable when the post is published! Build internal links to your posts from within the WordPress post editor! Use “Instant Post Propulsion” technology to automatically link your old posts to new ones. Lets you enable “Silo Linking” mode so that posts only link to other posts in the same category. Open Graph Integrator Out-of-the-box functionality autogenerates Open Graph data for your homepage, posts, pages, attachments, custom post type objects, and user profile pages. Fine-grained controls allow you to customize the Open Graph title, image, and content type for every single post, page, attachment, and custom post type object on your site. Mass-editors let you specify Open Graph data for multiple posts and pages at a time. Includes support for summary-style and photo-style Twitter Cards. Lets you fix the official Facebook/Twitter HTML so that it validates as XHTML or HTML5. Rich Snippet Creator Easily add rich snippet code for reviews and places. Attract more search traffic with eye-catching supplementary SERP data. Supports the new Schema.org format used by Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex. Author Highlighter Generates code so that when one of your site’s posts appears in Google search results, the Google+ profile picture of the post’s author will appear alongside it. Includes support for both single-author and multi-author site setups. Supports author highlighting for posts, pages, attachments, custom post types, the homepage, archive pages, and author pages. Inserts a “Google+ Profile URL” field on the WordPress user profile editor, so that users can insert their Google+ URL and enable author highlighting on their posts. Link Mask Generator Generate robots.txt-blocked “link masks” (e.g. www.example.com/go/google/) that pass-through to an external URL. Mask links on a per-link, per-post basis so you can exert fine-tuned control over your posts’ linkflow. Create global link masks that apply across your entire site. Change /go/ to a directory of your choosing. Link masks provide a modern replacement for the deprecated, nofollow-based “PageRank Sculpting” technique. Perfect for affiliate marketers and SEO-savvy bloggers. Canonicalizer Point search engines to preferred content access points with head tags and/or Link: ; rel="canonical" HTTP headers. Go beyond WordPress’s basic canonical tag functionality with SEO Ultimate’s support for category/tag/date/author archives. Redirect requests for non-existent pagination with a simple checkbox. 404 Monitor Improve the visiting experience of users and spiders by keeping tabs on “page not found” errors. (Use a redirection plugin to point dead-end URLs to your content.) Find out what URLs are referring visitors to 404 errors. The default settings hone in on the most important errors by only logging 404s that either have a referring URL or are generated by a search engine spider. If desired, ignore 404s generated from specific URLs or wildcard URL patterns. Permalink Tweaker Lets you remove the permalink base for categories, tags, and/or custom taxonomies. For example, enable category base removal to convert http://example.com/category/example into http://example.com/example, and then pair that with a /%category%/%postname%/ permalink to enable some serious SEO siloing action. The “URL Conflict Resolution” setting lets you arbitrate between pages/terms when taxonomy base removal causes their URLs to conflict Meta Robot Tags Editor Add the tag to archives, comment feeds, the login page, and more. Set meta robots tags (index/noindex and follow/nofollow) for each individual post, page, category, tag, and post type archive on your blog. Also supports custom post types and custom taxonomies. Avoid duplicate content SEO issues with the recommended noindex settings (see built-in module documentation for details). Give instructions to search engine spiders if desired (noodp, noydir, and noarchive). SEO Ultimate Widgets Lets you output your Deeplink Juggernaut Footer Links in a widget. The Siloed Categories widget makes it drag-and-drop-easy to construct siloed navigation on your site.
