DO NOT USE MULTIPLE SEO PLUGINS FOR WORDPRESS. Pick one and go with it. Yoost all in one is a great plugin. Make sure you use the standard and advanced tabs on it to get the most onpage SEO value.
Istvan is right....the plug in only helps you improve your onpage optimization. You need to focus on offpage optimization or PPC to drive traffic.
THERE IS NO MAGICAL PIXIE DUST. You can't do just one thing to help you generate traffic....if you could, everyone would be doing it. Im not going to disparage senukex and bookmarking demon but we get clients all the time that use these services and are getting penalized by Google and it is killing their SEO value and traffic. if you generate 4-5 links with high page rank/mozrank sites, it could be worth 1,000s of crappy links. You need to focus on linkbuilding. Here is a solid beginners guide that SEOMOZ provides that is a good starting point if you can't hire soemone to do it for you....

And if you have a limited budget I would recommend this article from Craig. He does a solid job of showing you step by step instructions to start to generate some linkbuilding value. We send this to a number of our prospective clients if they don't have the money to hire someone.

Hey Huey,
To be honest I am using Yoast as a Wordpress plugin for SEO and I usually try to stick on only one plugin for the SEO so they do not overwrite each-other.
But the SEO plugins are helping your ON-Page optimization. And that is only one piece of the big puzzle.
I advice you the following: try to check where your possible clients hang out in their free time, what kind of websites, online channels are they checking. Getting some nice content on such sites can help you boost your rankings but also drive some nice traffic to your website. (I know there are going to be opposite thoughts regarding this, but for me it has worked out well and it has lowered my and my clients costs in long time)
I hope this was helpful!

SEO page descriptions on mobile - how to hide while preserving the juice for SEO?
Hi everybody, On our pages we have crafted good text paragraphs for SEO purposes. On desktop everything is fine but on mobile the paragraph of text pushes the main content really low on the page. Is there a way of hiding the text while preserving the SEO juices and not getting penalised by Google for spamming techniques? I'd appreciate any recommendations on how to deal with this. Thanks very much!

Multilingual SEO - site using Google translate within existing URL structure
Hi everyone - I've just been looking at a site that simply uses Google Translate through its website. So basically, on any page you can Google Translate the content to any language you like - there's no change to the URL structure according to language, etc. I haven't come across this approach before (simply allowing users to Google Translate withing the existing page) - and it doesn't sit well with me - let me have your thoughts re: the SEO implications. Thanks in advance, Luke

What is the best SEO way for a shop
Hi there ! A client want to sell some products on its future website but just a small range (the most part of this website will not be an online shop). The idea is to add a "shop" button in the menu to redirect clients in this shop. I would like your opinion about how should I construct this shop, what do you think is the best for SEO : "www.website.com/shop" or "shop.website.com" thank you in advance for your answers !

Competitor using shady SEO tactics but still ranks at the top in Organic listings
A competitor of my client has been ranking consistently in the top 2 spots in the organic listings on Google for years. They have the advantage of keywords in the URL but no matter what we do we just can't bump them out of the top position. Recently we discovered that they have 7 or so .org sites set up claiming to be run by volunteers and their opinions are un-biased that "highly recommend" products from the main site's company. Is this against Google's policies? I've submitted a spam report to Google but of course haven't heard anything back from them. Our AdWords rep told us that the policy team doesn't respond directly to claims because of privacy reasons? Anyone know any other way to report things like this to Google? We got dropped from the rankings for 3 months due to malicious code (spammy links) injected into all the pages on our site but these people sit steadily at the top. I don't get it.

Page Titles SEO Title
Hi, I run an e-commerce store and within the CMS I define the SEO title, SEO description and SEO keywords for each item. I spoke to a SEO firm who advised me to start every product title with the colour, as this will reduce the duplicate page titles and serve me well in the future. Whats everyones view on this? Does naming something Grey Armani Jeans | Armani Jeans from Designer Boutique stand up better against Armani Jeans Grey | Armani Jeans from Designer Boutique? Any help or tips on how to format the page titles and descriptions would be great. Thanks Will

Expiring URL seo
a buddy of mine is running a niche job board and is having issues with expiring URLs. we ruled it out cuz a 301 is meant to be used when the content has moved to another page, or the page was replaced. We were thinking that we'd be just stacking duplicate content on old urls that would never be 'replaced'. Rather they have been removed and will never come back. So 410 is appropriate but maybe we overlooked something. any ideas?
