SEO for Wordpress
-
I am sure you have been asked this many times...
What is the BEST Wordpress Plug-in for SEO - Easy to Title Page, Meta Tags, etc... ??
Thanks
-
I'm not sure if Yoast is more complicated I have not used it - anyone with experience with both?
-
We use the following SEO Plugins for WordPress:
- All in One SEO Pack
- Google XML Sitemaps
- Inbound Writer (< This is great)
- Broken Link Checker
- Scribe SEO <- This is awesome).
- SEO Smart Links
I highly recommend Scribe SEO.
It's pretty cheap, but does a great job - especially if you have internal staff who write blogs for you.
I just tell me staff to hit 90%+ and then review the blogs.
And the all in One SEO Pack, is still without a debt the best SEO plugin for WordPress!

A few things I like about Yoast that All in one doesn't do:
- It has some minification options to help with page load speed - as well as integration with Google Page Speed.
- It includes an xml sitemap creator that allows you to include images
-
I use All-in-One as everyone is pointing out here. BUT I also use a tool that keeps me on track with my SEO called SEOPressor. It costs some cash but its worth it.
-
Yoast is pretty good but the last update seems to have stuffed up some sitemaps and stripping out the categories from url seems to create some issues as well. ( there could be an update soon that fixes those ) So just be careful of those thing when you have a 3rd party plugin to handle your onpage SEO .

If you're new to SEO I would recommend 'All in One SEO'
-
Wordpress SEO is the best. It truly is a "All-in-One" solution and I'm pretty sure you don't have to pay for certain features ?
-
I was using All-In-One SEO. I just switch to Yoast. It is very good. You can go wrong with neither.
-
I would strongly suggest Yoast (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/)
-
"all in one SEO" and "Yoast" are great plugins

Optimized filename management for SEO
Hi, I'm currently undertaking a project to manage better my images and to rank for image searches. My site uses mod_pagespeed to optimises images, therefore image urls are changed to a pretty seo unfriendly url or even sometimes inlined within my page. On top of that I generally resize all my images by passing the desired file dimension within the image url in order to optimise the loading time of my site. Is there a way to provide a hint to google that I have a much better quality image with higher dimensions and better name? Can i specify within my image sitemap an image that actually does have different dimensions and a different within the page it serves? Are there better tricks to achieve that? Thanks in advance

Impact of Non SEO Subdomains
My company has several subdomains whose specific purpose is to act as a landing page/site for our paid search and/or email program. One of the things I've noticed on these subdomains is that they are not being excluded from the SEObots. Could the lack of proper SEO techniques on these subdomains impact our main www subdomain? What is the proper configuration we should use to make sure these sites are not considered for SEO?

Rel Canonical tag using Wordpress SEO plugin
Hi team I hope this is the right forum for asking this question. I have a site http://hurunuivillage.com built on Wordpress 3.5.1 using a child theme on Genesis 1.9. We're using Joost's Wordpress SEO plugin and I thought it was configured correctly but the Crawl Diagnostics report has identified an issue with the Rel Canonical tag on the sites pages. I have not edited the plugin settings so am surprised the SEOMoz Crawl has picked up a problem. Example: Page URL is http://hurunuivillage.com/ Tag Value http://hurunuivillage.com/ (exactly the same) Page Authority 39 Linking Root Domains 23 Source Code Considering the popularity of the plugin I'm surprised I have not been able to find tutorials to find what I'm doing wrong or should be doing better. Thanks in advance. Best Nic

Domain redirection and seo implications
We have an existing site that is a subdomain but we recently acquired an exact match domain. Will building links to the exact match domain and having the domain point at our existing subdomain work or should we convert the entire site and redirect our existing subdomain to the new domain? What I'm trying to figure out is how to maximize the benefit here and how the existing mass of links pointing to our existing subdomain (shop.domain.com) can be used. New domain: keywordshop.com Existing URL: shop.domain.com

Javascript bad for SEO?
If we utilize javascript to pull information from a database to display on a site, is that bad for SEO? Can search engines still see the data?

Advertising and negative impact on SEO
On one of my sites, I've been trying to get the word out by contacting blogs and asking them to share my site with their readers. This has resulted in some free publicity for my site, as well as quite a few paid reviews/sponsored posts. Note, however, that I've never paid for links, just reviews of my site... When I started this about 2 months ago, my site was a PR3 and getting fairly lowsy organic search traffic (i.e. 30-40 visits a day from Google). Then a few days ago, my PR dropped to 1. I didn't worry too much though, because my organic traffic was still around 30-40 visits a day. Now today, I checked and I only had 1 visitor the entire day from Google. Obviously I've been penalized. My most important question is, what can I do? Do I have an recourse, or do I need to just shut the domain down and move elsewhere? Second, wtf is Google penalizing this? I understand the argument against paid links, but should I not be allowed to advertise my site? Apparently I can buy links all day long through Google and they'll happily take my money, but the minute I pay some poor blogger to write an article about my site to their audience, I get penalized? Please help, I can't believe I just destroyed one of my sites like this!

Need advanced SEO help!
Hi guys, This is my last attempt to work out what is up with this site before it goes to the big Flipper in the sky (and even then I doubt it will make much more than £1!) This site was a successful site, then one day Google decided it didnt like it, and I have not had much joy with it for nearly a year now. I must admit I tried to forget about it for a while, but it has always been a thorn in my side due to the fact it used to be a nice little earner. I have SEOmoz crawled it and I cant find any issues that would cause such a severe penalty, I removed many of the affiliate links, clocked the rest of the affiliate links and tried numurous other ideas, but now, as a last ditch attempt I am looking for some help! I tried to avoid the typical thin affiliate site by adding relevant content, but I have seen sites with much poorer design and content rank higher than this one. Any ideas welcome! Thanks in advance My site
