Whats the best way to creat a sitemap for a wordpress sitw with more than 1.000 posts
-
I tried to use yoast and google xml plugins but I´ve notice there are several important posts to me are not there... I´ve already checked if there was any post with noindex, and everything looks good
Now I´m creating the sitemap file with screaming frog but it is not so convenient as a plugin... any suggestions or tips?

Try the DYNO Mapper sitemap generator. It has a plugin built for Wordpress that can authenticate and crawl all of your pages within your Wordpress site or any additional sub-domains that you have. This is great because most large website contain several websites on sub-domains and cms systems. It also includes Google Analytics and Content Audit features to check for bad links and errors. It can export your XML sitemaps for search engines and HTML for your website.

just perfect thomas, many many thanks.. I will check all those links and let you know. Right now I´m testing slickplan and looks great also.
At the momento I´m using WPengine, it works great to me

I would honestly try to troubleshoot Yoast far before I made a site map that did not update when I create new content.
The website for Yoast http://yoast.com/ is very informative and I believe that you can simply turn the index to on in advanced.
although there are some fantastic do-it-yourself site map tools for instance

while you're there check out your robots.txt file make sure nothing's been blocked.

Here are some more great tools from Internet marketing ninjas

if you find screaming frog one of the best tools on the web if you ask me to be frustrating which it can be. I would look for a another plug-in to create your site map.
This is from personal experience however when WP engine 1st started up they would only allow us to use this plug-in
http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/
an excellent plug-in if I may say so
here are some other excellent site maps

http://www.webdesignlessons.com/5-sitemap-generator-plugins-for-wordpress/
if I may suggest one more time. I would simply take the Yoast plug-in export all the settings.
Then delete the plug-in as well is empty the cash.
Then reinstall the plug-in it is in my opinion the best for search engine optimization. However there are other alternatives of course.

If I may make another suggestion is if you're using WordPress I suggest using a managed WordPress hosting company.
My reason is twofold they understand hosting and are extremely knowledgeable about WordPress. Many times we spend time trying to figure out things that with a managed WordPress hosting company would mean the answer is we fixed it or do this after only 20 min. They will fix the problem and are well worth it in my opinion.
If I may some great managed WordPress hosting companies are ZippyKid, WPengine, web synthesis, Pagely, get flywheel & presslabs.
I strongly suggest you check them out as they are all fantastic compared to run-of-the-mill hosting and truly do care about your website much more than the average post not to forget their faster and much more secure.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Martin,
I think Slick plan is a great tool. This makes it more of a drawing operation to create a site map . Once the site map is completed you can export this out to XML.

Updating Content - Make changes to current URL or create a new one?
I'm working with a content team on a job search guide for 2019. We already have a job search guide for 2018. Should we just edit the content of the job search guide for 2018 to make it current for 2019, which means the job search guide for 2018 would not exist anymore or should we keep the 2018 guide and just create a new web page for the 2019 guide that way both exist. We currently rank very well for the 2018 job search guide.

Help getting a Wordpress.com site to rank
Hi all, I have a blog for my site, but it hasn't been integrated into our site yet (that will happen in the next few months when we do some site changes). For now, it sits on a Wordpress.com site, and links from my website. I post a couple times a week, have social media linked to it, and feed posts to aggregators regularly. I also comment and like other Wordpress.com sites, but it just isn't ranking. Do I just need to stay persistent? It's been up for a month now, but still only getting a few hits a day. Any advice?

How to make a bad posting drop down the search engines
we have had a competitor who has been stealing a lot of content from us and now they have used seo tactics to write a bad article about one of our sites that they have been taking content from, and what we would like to do is to use seo techniques to drop their article down the rankings. We are consulting a solicitor to take action against them as we are fed up of the content being stolen and the other techniques they are using, can anyone give me ideas on the best way to drop this post down the rankings. I was thinking about articles and press releases and blog posts to get higher up in the rankings and do a lot of these to drop their article down the rankings. Our solicitor has already taken action against them in the past and that cost us a fortune and it looks like we are going to have to spend a fortune again, so any help on using seo techniques to drop their article down the rankings would be great.

What is the best way to bring a blog into my SEO strategy
We have a blog set up with Blogger and generate some great content on it. What is the best way to optimise the blog from an SEO standpoint? In particular the domain name, it is currently .blogspot.com address, is there a better way to work with that? Obviously the blog is branded with our company logo and name etc but is about the book industry. I'm basically concerned about linking people to our blog and not the website and so not getting much benefit?

For a consumer facing blog, how often do you recommend updating content to develop good rankings? I understand that it's really dependent upon the niche/competition, but what are some best practices? Content is expensive. Thanks
