No doubt this is a huge number and very satisfactory number for the developer too. As his plugin is serving millions websites. This plugin have become industry specific and everyone who enter in blogosphere with WordPress know about this plugin.
Newbies always have big question-mark between these two plugins.
Read this article carefully so that you can decide which plugin you are going to use on your blog.
First of all I would like to explain the features of All-in-one SEO.
#All-in-one SEO
Very first thing I would say about this plugin is this is very easy to manage plugin. All newbie can easily set this on their blog.
Here are the features
- Canonical URLs
- Rewrite Titles
- Google Analytics support
- Custom Pages and Posts
- Easy noindex for categories, archive
- Autogenerate Description
This is best plugin for beginners. Once you installed this plugin you don’t even have to look at the options, it works out-of-the-box.

Here are exciting features of this plugin.
- Title and Meta - You can easily customize heading and meta (title, keyword, description) using this plugin.
- Inbuilt Sitemap - You need not to install any extra plugin to submit sitemap of your blog. So this plugin will decrease the load of one plugin from your blog.
- Social Media Integration - You can use Facebook and Twitter Card with this plugin. You can read in details here.
- Permalink Setting - Strip the category base (usually
/category/) from the category URL. - Breadcrumbs Settings - You can customize your breadcrumbs and add in seperate symobol betwenn them.

GREEN color shows that this article is perfect for SEO.
Other then this you can see the complete page analysis too.
If you want to do noindex, nofollow, noarchive etc. then you can do it simple by editing in advance setting of WordPress SEO by Yoast.
What to do if you want to move to WordPress SEO by Yoast from All-in-one SEO?
If you are thinking to start using WordPress SEO by Yoast on your blog then you might be having question that how can I do this?
A very simple answer of this question is download SEO Data Transporter Plugin and follow the steps.
Step 1: Download and Activate WordPress SEO by Yoast.
Step 2: Download the SEO Data Transporter and activate it.
Step 3: Go to Tools > SEO Data Transport
Step 4: In first column choose All-in-one SEO Pack and in second column choose WordPress SEO.
Step 5: Click on Analyze (This will check all your Meta heading, description and keywords in articles).
See the screenshot after I clicked on Analyze
Step 6: Click on Convert (See the screeshot).
Step 7 : Deactivate the All-in-one SEO Pack and SEO Data Transporter.
Step 8 : You are done. 
Now open any published post and see if all the data have been imported or not.

I am not getting what you want to say. Please elaborate.

Kulwant Nagi recently posted..All-in-one SEO or WordPress SEO by Yoast? Which is Best?
This is the best article on yoast seo and i am really sorry to say that kulwant was totally biased for this wordpress seo plugin, so instead of comparing both plugins, he tried to convince all of us from the begining that all in one seo is now outdated and it does not have that capability to stand in front of yoast seo. But the major points he forget to mention in this whole article? Let kulwant find out this.
So in my opinion the title of this article should be how to migrate from all in one seo to yoast seo.

Thanks, Kulwant, this was very helpful. I use Thesis but it doesn’t show me the information that Yoast seems to provide. Right now I’m using Greg’s High Performance SEO. Would the transporter plugin work to transport my SEO information from that plugin to Yoast as well?
By the way, I’m not seeing sharing buttons on your post. I would love to share your great content!
Carolyn recently posted..Best Apps for Successful Students!
Carolyn, You can easily transport from Greg’s High Performance SEO. Sorry share icon might not be installed that time. They are there now, so you can share it.
Nicely written article, and a great comparison too.
I have been using All in one SEo ever since I got started. Tried shifting to Yoast recently, but then realized I loved All-in-one too much to be able to leave it…So, sticking to good ole All-in-one!

Kulwant Nagi recently posted..What is Google PageSpeed Service and How To Use It
XML Sitemaps are an essential part of current day SEO, and can thus not be excluded from a complete WordPress SEO plugin. While there are other WordPress XML Sitemap Generators out there, they don’t talk to your SEO plugin. Meaning that if you noindex a page, preventing it from showing up in Google, it might still be in your sitemap. They also don’t allow you to keep certain taxonomies out of your sitemap. This plugin does. And, to boot, it makes your XML Sitemaps look good by using an XSLT stylesheet on them, so humans can read them too.
Denis T. Rodriquez recently posted..No last blog posts to return.
Denis this plugin is winner in every aspect. I am very happy to see your knowledge about SEO and all. Keep putting your efforts. All the very best.
I use ALL In One SEO and it’s doing quite fine for me but I think I need to try SEO by Yoast plugin too just to see if it works better!

WordPress SEO by Yoast is far better because of two reasons. First, Yoast’s SEO plugin is regularly updates while AIOSEO pack is no longer updated by the plugin developer. Second, Yoast’s SEO plugin has more features and support for Authorship, breadcrumbs, noindexing tags, archive, category and author pages and it also allows you to create XML sitemaps. Yoast’s seo plugin is a full featured one while AIOSEO is very basic.
Sudip recently posted..How to disable Ads in Internet Explorer 10
Yes Sudip, they have added so many features in this plugin that this is competing with many paid plugins these days. This is the truth that AIOSEO plugin is not getting that much updates as compared to Yoast. So Yoast is the winner at this stage.
