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

Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.
I have a website built on Magento 1.9. There are approximately 290,000 part numbers on the site. I am sampling Google SERP results. About 20% of the keywords show up on page 1 position 5 thru 10. 80% don't show up at all. When I do a MOZ page score I get high 80's to 90's. A page score of 89 on one part # may show up on page one, An identical page score on a different part # can't be found on Google. I am searching for the exact part # in the page title. Any thoughts on what may be going on? This seems to me like a Magento SEO issue.

Seo black hat tricks
I have a competitor in the local area. He registered a new domain name. www.orangecountypatentlawfirm.com. It was created back in 11/10 and updated a few months ago on 11/13. My domain is ocpatentlawyer.com. I put my domain and his domain in the open site explorer. The peculiar thing is that my competitors website mirrors identically to my domain. (see attached image) my competitors website rose through the SERP very fast. I never saw it coming. Anyways, I wanted to know if he was using some type of black hat seo trick to hi jack my domain authority to get his own website to rank higher? Plus, if so, does it hurt my ranking? compare.png

International SEO and Server Hosting
I am quite new to international SEO. I have a customer who wants to use the same website content on various domains targeting different countries. Such as; xxxx.hk - same content targeting Hong Kong xxxx.co.uk - same content targeting UK xxxx.de - same content targeting Germany I found that it could be possible with the Google suggested hreflang without any duplicate content problem. Is that true? Could someone explain this for me. Another question; if above is true do we need to make other adjustments as well. Such as; Any adjustments in Google Webmaster Tools (for each domain) Server location, does that really make a difference? Can we host each of the domains on the same server or should we seperate them and host each one on the country it is targeting ? Thanks in advance!
