What code do I need to remove Comments Rss from Wordpress?
-
Guessing I need to put something in functions.php file to remove site wide the "Comments Rss" link under "Meta" in sidebar?
-
Or you can install the WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast. If I remember well it offers the opportunity to hide the comments RSS (surely to not index it).
-
Depending on the template, I think you can just go into the admin panel and edit sidebar.php or sidenav.php or whatever it's called in your particular theme. You should just need to comment out 2-3 lines of code. Without seeing the theme or the site itself I can only tell you that much. It should be an easy fix.
Just copy all of the code to your toolbar when you make changes, so that if you delete something or make a big mistake you can quickly revert to the old file.

GWT Error for RSS Feed
Hello there! I have a new RSS feed that I submitted to GWT. The feed validates no problemo on http://validator.w3.org/feed/ and also when I test the feed in GWT it comes back aok, finds all the content with "No errors found". I recently got a issue with GWT not being able to read the rss feed, error on line 697 "We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting." I am assuming this is an intermittent issue, possibly we had a server issue on the site last night etc. I am checking with my developer this morning. Wanted to see if anyone else had this issue, if it resolved itself, etc. Thanks!

Do I need a link to my sitemap?
I have a very large sitemap. I submit it to both Google and Bing, but do I need a link to it? If someone went there it would probably lock their browser. Is there any danger of not having a link if I submit it to Google and Bing?

Do I need to 301 EVERY page?
I have a client who is consolidating multiple EMD domains into a single domain for SEO reasons and for practical reason, like not having to produce content and perform SEO for 20 domains. My question is this: Do I need to 301 every single page from these old EMD domains? I bill this client hourly and while I could take the time to write 301s for literally thousands of pages I feel that this might not be the best use of his money, that I could strategically 301 the landing pages that get traffic and then route everything else to the new root domain...thoughts? I've researched this and have not been able to hear a really strong opinion yet.

WordPress post indexation speed
Has anyone noticed any increases in the length of time it takes for WP posts to get indexed by Google? I have a website with the following: domain.com - CMS with lots of pages/content blog.domain.com - subdomain for the blog using WP It's odd.. the pages on the main site are indexed almost immediately. The posts on the blog are taking between 2-5 days. The blog posts are all unique content, here's an example of a recent one: blog.looksfishy.co.uk/2013/three-rivers-angling/

Creating a Blog of Rodent Removal Companies?
I am helping a small company. Lets say rodent removal is their service. But local SEO for rodent removal is very very competitive in my town and across America. Would a website/blog dedicated to highlighting rodent removers across America be good for my company? We have had nice success with wordpress.com blogs. Supposing I gave 6 other rodent removal companies a free guest post (always 300 words or more) or whatever to post on my blog. Of course, none of these companies would be in my market. Would that help my local SEO? I am thinking long term here?
