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

Domain Masking SEO Impact
I hope I am explaining this correctly. If I need to provide any clarity please feel free to ask. We currently use a domain mask on an external platform that points back to our site. We are a non-profit and the external site allows users to create peer-to peer fundraisers that benefit our ministry. Currently we get many meta issues related to this site as well as broken links when fundraisers expire etc. We do not have a need to rank for the information from this site. Is there a way to index these pages so that they are not a part of the search engine site crawls as it relates to our site?

Javascript redirects harmful for SEO?
Hi Mozzers, A website deals with some javascript redirects. After some research, It came clear a normal 301 is the best option, but javascript redirects can be useful if you don't have access to a website' server. Does anyone have experience with javascript redirects? Can they be harmful in any point of SEO? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Subdomains or Subdirectory for multisite SEO structure?
Hey Mozzers, I work for a startup releasing several apps all within their own niches: hiking, mountain biking, skiing, running etc.. We've decided to go for the Wordpress Multisite route and I was wondering what the best site structure was. For example: Would hike.myapp.com or myapp.com/hike be more beneficial to our growth plans? My thinking follows that of geotargeting strategies for franchises (uk.travel.com etc) and to go for the subdomain option in order to build each individual 'sites' authority because each sport has niche audiences. Or am I talking nonsense? I've read varying advice and thought I'd ask you guys. Cheers, A

Duplicate Content in Wordpress.com
Hi Mozers! I have a client with a blog on wordpress.com. http://newsfromtshirts.wordpress.com/ It just had a ranking drop because of a new Panda Update, and I know it's a Dupe Content problem. There are 3900 duplicate pages, basically because there is no use of noindex or canonical tag, so archives, categories pages are totally indexed by Google. If I could install my usual SEO plugin, that would be a piece of cake, but since Wordpress.com is a closed environment I can't. How can I put a noindex into all category, archive and author peges in wordpress.com? I think this could be done by writing a nice robot.txt, but I am not sure about the syntax I shoud use to achieve that. Thank you very much, DoMiSol Rossini

How to start more deep seo.
Okay, lets say that I already fixed all my technical seo stuff. All my crawl errors and warnings are gone. Now I really want to start seo so I have a few questions. 1. I know I should work based on a page and not on a domain, so it means I should choose which keyword to optimize each page for? only one keyword per page? or it might be more? 2. Some keywords are very competitive for me, example for my site www.theprinterdepo.com, the best keyword to rank would be printers, but it would take years a beginner to do that, what should I do? 3. If highly competitive keywords are not an option, which keywords shuold I use? the ones that have more global monthly searches? Thanks

Wordpress 301 redirects
I use wordpress as CMS on a few sites and I noticed that word press automattically places 301s if I change a url etc. I believe it does it by having the following in the .htaccess file: BEGIN WordPress<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L]</ifmodule> END WordPress Should I use this? I feel like it limits my control over the 301s.
