YOAST Premium extensions vs Yoast SEO Free?
-
Considering buying the Yoast Premium extensions (or perhaps whole bundle) but trying to weigh up if its worth it or if the free version is comprehensive enough to do the job?
Obviously paid has more features but is it worth the price tag? (I have 4 different websites)
If anyone has a paid version of Yoast Premium pack and seen improvements with rankings, mark ups in google etc I would appreciate hearing your story!
Thank you in advance

Yes, their useful plugins (cost a lot) but I think they are well made & unlike some other plug-ins, there updated very often. However what I recommend their video plug-in not really unless you had a very particular need. There Local and Woocommerce plugin's are excellent for what it does the news plug-in is significant buying the bundle may save you money, and I would recommend it if you have looked at everything and decided that's what you need.
sorry about the delay let me know if that helps,
Tom

Thanks for that Thomas!
It seems I worded my question slightly incorrectly, I asked about Yoast Premium - I was meaning any of the Paid upgrades/extenssions by Yoast or evee the full complete bundle. ie as per screenshot below.
Did you have any experience with any of the other extras?

In my opinion, the only thing of real value is the redirect option. You can redirect directly to your Nginx or HTaccess file this is not a game changer but the ability to write directly to the file and not PHP is very nice.
You get support if you do not understand Yoast SEO plug-in it might make sense for you to purchase it solely for the support aspects. You get almost no support with the free plug-in at least with the paid you get answers.
I use it on client sites who wish to be able to write redirects within WordPress, and if you delete a page, it will allow you to redirect it to the appropriate page or 410 that page.
You can also optimize for more than one root keyword, in my opinion, this is not very important and not going to make a difference in the SERPS.
It is a very inexpensive and very high-quality plug-in I don't think that you have much to lose by trying it. I would recommend paying double for the five-license version unless you are only using one site.
I hope that helps,
Tom

SEO suggestions for a directory
Hi all, I am new to SEO. I work for a ratings and review website, like TripAdvisor and LinkedIn. How would one go about setting up SEO strategy for national directories that have local suggested pages? What can be a good practice. For example, Tripadvisor has many different restaurants across the UK. What would they do to improve their SEO? How do they target correct links? How do they go about building their Moz Score? Would really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!

Use a language extension or a keyword as an extension?
If it's technically necessary to add an extension to a domain URL... Should I use brand.nl/nl or should I use brand.nl/keyword as the homepage? In my opinion it's better to use the language extension as it is much easier for other websites to link to. The client could make a separate page with content about the keyword. I also think it's much more difficult for direct traffic to access the website with this long URL. Any other thoughts?

Video SEO for Google
I was wondering what the prime factors were to make something rank for a video on Google. Does anyone have any suggestions? I think that length may be important, but I don't know what the ideal run time is. Hypothetically for local SEO, would I be better off doing a tag like "Mercedes Buffalo NY" or do individual tags of "Mercedes" and "Buffalo" Thanks!

Am I Doing This Wrong? Ecommerce SEO
I ran my site through the SEOMoz On-Page Optimization tool and one of the problems noted was "Keyword Self-Cannibalization" in this case, it was stating I was using the keyword "Board Games" too much. Site in question: http://theboardgamers.co.uk/ The problem being is that every product link contains the word "Board Game" - Which makes sense, but I guess it may look spammy to the SEO world. Would it be best to remove the "board game" part from each internal link and only leave it in the URL structure?

Does font size affect SEO?
In the eyes of Google, would the font text size of say a news article affect SEO? For example, a slightly larger font being easier to read by those with bad eyes? Accessibility? If so, what size would be ideal? 10, 12, 14? Your thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
