Wordpress SEo Plug In
-
Hi,
I am researching SEO plug ins for Wordpress - WordpressSEO by Yoast and All-In-One SEO Pack - and I have a question about implementation:
In general, what is the impact these plug ins have on blogs with a large archives? Will they make any changes to old posts that may break incoming links or require me to go back and make edits to each of the old posts?
Also, the main thing I want to do is allow for custom total tags. Is there another way to get this functionality? Or should I stick with a plug in because of all the other SEO benefits?
Thanks

Custom total tags are not an issue. With the plug in you can create a custom tag for each page/blog.
They wont make any changes to old posts or require you to go back and make edits of old posts....
We have tried a variety of other options and there is nothing that is easier and more functional than the plug ins.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Greg. No need to worry about anything. These plugins take care of a lot of basic stuff + give you the ability to do template(d) Meta Tags (Titles and Descriptions) based on your Focus Keyword (Yoast). All In One SEO also does a great job doing basic SEO without too much effort and then give you the ability to do more with custom meta tags for each page and so on. The URLs won't be impacted. You can tweak the URLs with your permalink settings so as long as you are not doing that, these plugins won't impact it.

The plugin Just makes filling out the Meta titles and descriptions easier and provides more technical SEO options for your pages/posts.
With regards to your archive pages, It wont change any Meta or URL info on existing posts, It will just point the Meta and Title etc when you edit the page.
I use Yoast on our WP sites, it makes editing pages for SEO benefits easy.

SEO for Online Auto Parts Store
I'm currently doing an audit for an online auto parts store and am having a hard time wrapping my head around their duplicate content issue. The current set up is this: The catalogue starts with the user selecting their year of vehicle They then choose their brand (so each of the year pages have listed every single brand of car, creating duplicate content) They then choose their model of car and then the engine And then this takes them to a page listing every type/category of product they sell (so each and every model type/engine size has the exact same content!) This is amounting to literally thousands of pages being seen as duplicates It's a giant mess. Is using rel=canonical the best thing to do? I'm having a hard time seeing a logical way of structuring the site to avoid this issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Wordpress Pages vs. Posts
When building a blog to promote a particular affiliate offer, I usually like to use a static "page" homepage and then have my posts displayed on another part of my site. I've noticed that my wordpress pages almost always rank higher than wordpress posts and I can't explain it... Here are some possibilities I've thought of: XML Sitemap priority is set at 60% for pages and only 20% for posts My main navbar lists the pages which consequently means they get linked to on every page on my website. Some other phenomenon within the wordpress framework... If it helps, I use Thesis v1.8 on all my sites. I guess my ultimate question is: If pages do in fact rank higher than posts, is it worth it for me to go back and change the site structure on all my blogs which are using posts instead of pages. I know making major modifications like that can be disasterous but will it ultimately pay off? Thanks
