A New Wood Sponsor Appears!

We also had a Wood Sponsor that wasn’t included in the last post, as such, we’re including them now.

Yoast

Yoast helps you to get the most out of your website by making SEO available for everyone. You
might know our Yoast SEO plugin; with over 7,5 million active installs, Yoast SEO is one of the
most popular WordPress plugins worldwide.

At Yoast, we believe in holistic SEO: not just one aspect of a website, but all aspects are
important and should, therefore, be as good as possible. We don’t approach SEO as a trick to
rank higher in Google but stimulate site owners to make their site the best possible search
result. All awesome websites have three things in common: they’re easy to use, contain the right
information, and they’re fast and reliable. If you do all that right, a website becomes easier to find as well!

Our products help people create remarkable sites. We offer plugins that make optimizing
websites as easy as pie. Our other products, like online courses and eBooks , help customers
improve their sites. Last but not least, by contributing to loads of open source projects, like
WordPress, we try to make the web better for everyone.
