CUNY Academic Commons

I would like to request that the following plugin be considered for addition to the Commons in the next release:

WordPress SEO by Yoast
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/

I would like to use this for the ARC site: http://research.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

After launching the new ARC Distinguished Fellowships, we are getting okay direct and referral traffic, but search traffic is quite low. We would like the ability to assign meta tags at the individual page level, create Google XML sitemaps and implement Google's rel=”author” tags, among other features to improve our search engine rankings.

If successful, I would also like to use this plugin with the new blogs that the Program Social Media Fellows are creating.

I have evaluated other WordPress SEO plugins, and although it is not the most popular, Yoast's seems to have the most robust features and methodology.

Thank you,

Chris Caruso
