Problem with Wordpress RSS feed and Feedburner
-
Just discovered a problem with my company site's RSS feed. I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, but I thought someone in the community might have encountered this -- and I cannot figure it out for the life of me!
We had redirected our Wordpress feed to Feedburner. We publish at least once per week, but no posts after March 18 are in the feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheClineGroup The standard (Wordpress) RSS feed page does not load: http://theclinegroup.com/feed/
Of course, I deactivated all plug-ins to see if one of them was the issue, but the problem(s) still existed.
Thanks so much for any assistance!

The problem are, feedburner get new posts from the rss itself, and this RSS doesn't work now.
The solution still be finded on wordpress or the server itself, feedburner it's okay.

Hmm... got to think about that one. What happens if someone grabs your RSS feed and puts it into their feedburner or some other feed stream - is that duplicate content too?
Have you had negative experiences with multiple RSS feeds out there from one site?

If I remember correctly, there was a way you had to manually update the feed in Feedburner. Man, its been so long since I had to do it though.
*edit
Looks like you have to ping and resync your feeds. Try using the info in this link.

Why not use both at the same time?

I don't actually use Feedburner myself, so can't really help with anything in that respect, but I am surprised if it isn't updating automatically.
Because I don't use this, I did have a quick look at this page, and perhaps you might find your answer there?

I still want to use Feedburner, but I'm just trying to figure out how to make it self-update again when a new post is published.

Hi Samuel,
Are you trying to move back away from Feedburner and use your own feed again, or is it just that it won't load?
I did try going to your main feed URL http://www.theclinegroup.com/wp-rss2.php but this does forward to Feedburner rather than go to /feed, and I think it is this redirect that is causing the problem. If you go to my site, http://www.inetseo.co.uk/wp-rss2.php, you will see it forwards to /feed.

Have you reviewed your server blog? As i can see on your server, the RSS address get a 304 not modified even when i try to full-reload page. The problem it's outside WP i think, you have something telling who the RSS are not modified.

Can adding thousands of new indexable URLs to my site at once be a problem?
Hi everyone, I am currently working on a project that will quickly add thousands of new indexable URLs to my site. For context, the site currently has over a million indexable pages. Is there any danger of adding a few thousand URLs at once to the site? Could it potentially affect crawlability/SEO/other pages? Thank you!

Wordpress Archive pages
In the SEOMOZ site report a number of errors were found. One of which was no or duplicate meta desctions on certain blog pages. When I drilled down to find these i noticed thosepages are the wordpress autocreated archive pages. When I searched for these through the wordpress control panel through both pages and blogs they were nowhere to be found. Does anyone know how to find these pages or are they not something I need to worry about?

Will invalid HTML code generated by WordPress affect SEO efforts?
Hi all, I'm new to SEOmoz and SEO in general really. I run a small but well regarded freelance website and graphic design business, and until very recently had an employee who handled the SEO side of things. I'm now looking to step into this role myself and hopefully learn the in's and out's of SEO. I've no doubt there will be much to learn, but the SEOmoz tools and it's community seem excellent and helpful. My question then is basically, if WordPress generated HTML code can have an effect on SEO, when it's reported as invalid by tools such as the W3C HTML validator? I'm used to hand coding the majority of my websites for clients, where creating valid HTML and CSS code is something I can do with relative ease. A new client however wants to use WordPress - for ease of updating the site content themselves. The client does however consider any potential SEO implications to be a very important factor in choosing a hand coded vs. WordPress based website. I am aware that WordPress itself is just a means of generating HTML code, and that to the search engines there is no difference between this and the hand coded websites I usually produce. However if WordPress is generating HTML that is being reported as invalid, would this make the search engines penalise the site? On a second note, will the search engines look negatively on a WordPress site where it is being used as a standard website, and the content may not be updated as frequently, as say, a blog? Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Should WordPress themes be hard coded for better SEO?
In the interests of making my site faster I have recently come across the suggestion of removing unwanted PHP from my WooThemes WordPress theme. The suggestion is to hard code the choices I have made in the WordPress template to reduce on database calls. Has anyone actually done this to their WordPress theme before and seen any measurable results?

Home Page Indexing Question/Problem
Hello Everyone, Background: I recently decided to change the preferred domain settings in WM Tools from the non www version of my site to the www version. I did this because there is a redirect from the non www to the www and I've built all of my internal links with the www. Everything I read on SEO Moz seemed to indicate that this was a good move. Traffic has been down/volatile but I think it's attributable mostly to a recent site change/redesign. Having said that the preferred domain change did seem to drop traffic an additional notch. I made the move two weeks ago. Here is the question: When I google my site, the home page shows up as the site title without the custom title tags I've written. The page that displays in the SERP is still the non www version of the site. a site:www.mysite.com search shows an internal page first but doesn't return the home page as a result. All other pages pop up indexed with the www version of the page. a site:mysite.com (notice lack of www) search DOES SHOW my home page and my custom title tags but with a non www version of the page. All other pages pop up indexed with the www version of the page. Any one have thoughts on this? Is this a classic example of waiting on Google to catch up with the changes to my tiny little site?
