Anyone using Adobe Business Catalyst and Fixing SEO URL Blog Updates?
-
Does anyone else have experience with the current update Adobe Business Catalyst has announced for their blog features?
Florin at BC offered the code below:

However nether myself nor another commentator can figure out how to make it work:
I added the meta data to my template but it seems the tags are not correct. For example, the tag {tag_blogpostmetatitle} does not automatically include the SEO title that I've called out in my individual blog post. So, it appears the browser is ignoring the tag and just including it as is. When I view the source for my live blog article, this is what I get for the lines that I've added the code in the tag:
Also, I cannot get schema metadata to work on the BC blog. For example, I have used it on this page: http://www.homedestination.com/_blog/Real_Estate_Blog/post/things_to_know_before_building_a_new_home/; which yields the following in Google's Rich Snippet Tool:
Extracted structured data rdfa-node property: title: {tag_blogpostmetatitle} description:__{tag_blogpostmetadescription}

Scott,
I am wondering how your ABC + WP results came in. Would you have an update on you're experience?
-
Thanks so much for the fast response - and thorough, as well!
Unfortunately, my prospective client has been using ABC for a year, and has dozens of blog posts, so it sounds like I'll have some fun to work through!
I don't have an opinion yet on using ABC + WP, but I will shortly! Feel free to reach out any time to share experiences or questions (I follow this post, so I'll see it!) Thanks again!

Hi Scott,
It has taken nearly three months for many blog posts to re-index. I find Adobe Business Catalyst is working on ironing out the wrinkles in their blog updates and are certainly at a better end already. If you start now, you should miss all the URL redirects that have been required to update all blog posts with their structured improvements. I think they are getting closer to being a real competitor to a WordPress blog.
Also, I have had to follow Google Analytics very close to handle problems with Duplicate meta descriptions.
For example, many read like this:
http://www.homedestination.com/real-estate-blog/twin-cities-traditional-home-sales-up/
http://www.homedestination.com/real-estate-blog/twin-cities-traditional-home-sales-uphttp://www.homedestination.com/real-estate-blog/twin_cities_traditional_home_sales_upThat said. do you think it is better to use Adobe Business Catalyst for the main site and combine it with a WordPress blog?

Hey, jessential - it looks like this post has had numerous views, but no responses. Were you able to figure out anything? I have a potential client who uses ABC, and I'm trying to figure out what kinds of issues I may run into. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or postively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please?
Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or positively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please? For example at the bottom of this blog post https://www.poppyandperle.com/post/face-painting-a-global-language the hashtags are linked, but they don't go to a page, they go to search results of all other blogs using that hashtag. Seems a bit of a strange approach to me.

Will using tabs on my page for navigation hurt SEO
Currently we have tabs on some pages that are set so that the page shows all the content for search engines on one page, but the user sees only part of the content until they click a tab. We are unable to use title tags for the tabbed areas. We think this hurts us from an SEO standpoint. We are getting only 3 keyword where we could have 12 if they were individual pages. What is the thought on using tabs and is it okay? Has there been any case studies on this?

OSE says URL redirects to URL with trailing slash but it doesn't.
Site is www.example.com/folder/us and OSE says this URL redirects to www.example.com/folder/us/, but it does not. When I look at the OSE report for the latter version with the "/" it says "No Data Available For This URL". Why would that be? The original URL is www.example.com and it redirects to www.example.com/folder/us. Is this anything I need to worry about? I thought that the trailing / doesn't really mean much anymore but nonetheless, why does it think it redirects there?
