SEO Plugins for WordPress
-
Hi, Mozzers-
I'm re-evaluating my SEO WordPress Plugins. What are your favorites and why? Are there others that you avoid and why?
Thanks!

I currently use All in One SEO and haven't had problems.
Now I'm seeing reviews for the Yoast plugin over All in One SEO.
I downloaded the Yoast Wordpress SEO but it seems to have far less features and settings unless Yoasts plugin is doing everything on auto-pilot I think fixing what isn't broke for me isn't an option unless someone can compare the two side by side and demonstrate why I should switch and how I could benefit.
In regard to updates, I get fairly frequent version updates from All In One SEO.

I've developed a WP plugin which works like Tynt except it doesn't add the annoying # tag at the end: http://dejanseo.com.au/copylink/ - it's great for getting automated attribution and link when people copy your content.
-
Yes to Yoast as well. I used the All-In-One SEO for a while, plus some others, but Yoast seems to be much more powerful.
-
Try the FV All In One plugin. It's great, and it allows you to add a custom canonical tag on any page you want.
-
Another +1 for Yoast's plugin - it's brilliant. Pretty much everything in one plugin.

The most comprehensive I've used is Joost de Valk's Yoast SEO plugin. It's absolutely the most comprehensive. I don't use anything else now. Prior, I was using Arne Brachenwald's Google XML Sitemap plugin and the All in One SEO plugin. Joost de Valk had done a much better job of staying a head of versions and releasing a more comprehensive toolkit.

SEO Rankings Ebbs and Flows on Ecommerce Site - Normal?
Hey everyone, I should start by saying I'm very new to SEO (I'm actually just a copywriter that's taken on this role at an agency), so I apologize if I'm using some common terms incorrectly or if there's a lack of information. I've been optimizing my first ecommerce website (clothing company), and things were going very well last year. Strong surges in organic traffic, peaking in the summer. There was a drop before the holidays when the client dumped a ton of new product pages that weren't optimized. After optimizing the pages, the traffic went back up to its summer levels. Now, there's about a 10% drop in organic traffic since earlier this year, and a loss of just over 20% of keywords the site was originally ranking for. There's no sharp drop in the Analytics, but a steady decline. To give a better idea, the site was ranking for 5,270 keywords in February; it's dropped to 3,772 keywords in April. According to SEMRush, almost all the dropped keywords are the lower volume ones, maybe indicating long tail keywords? I'm really not sure what the cause of the drop is, as I've been following (I think) best on-page practices, which seems to have yielded results last year. One thing I should mention is the client has a unique product page for each variant of one product (so the same shirt will have 10 of the same pages, the only difference being the colour). Could Google be penalizing the site for duplicate content? It was fine last year though with that same site structure; I'm not sure how long it would take for Google to penalize a site for that. Sorry for the wall of text. I'd really appreciate any insight into this. Thanks Moz community!

Affect of ™ and ® in title for SEO
I am looking at adding the trademark and rights reserved symbols to some of my titles. I think this might help with click through rate. From what I have found, this shouldn't have an affect on SEO unless it makes the title too long. Is this correct? Stephen

Neglected Blog SEO help
I am wedding & sports photographer in San Antonio. I've been busy with photographing sports (lots of them) & totally neglected SEO work for nearly 2 years. I know it's a broad question but what is the best way to get back on track? Should I create a strong landing page with keyword wedding photographer? Should i make separate websites - one for weddings, one for sports? Is PPC good way to jump start? Do I have website structure problems etc? If anyone can comment, that would be great. I am willing to hire SEO experts so if anyone knows anybody, please let me know My website is www.soobumimphotography.com Thank you in advance

Are outlinks an essential element for onsite SEO?
I recently read the blog post by Steve Webb about performing a SEO Audit (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-perform-the-worlds-greatest-seo-audit). In the article he mentions that it's important to have outlinks to high-quality websites. So my questions is if this is an essential element of onsite SEO?
