Wordpress SEo Plug In
-
Hi,
I am researching SEO plug ins for Wordpress - WordpressSEO by Yoast and All-In-One SEO Pack - and I have a question about implementation:
In general, what is the impact these plug ins have on blogs with a large archives? Will they make any changes to old posts that may break incoming links or require me to go back and make edits to each of the old posts?
Also, the main thing I want to do is allow for custom total tags. Is there another way to get this functionality? Or should I stick with a plug in because of all the other SEO benefits?
Thanks

Custom total tags are not an issue. With the plug in you can create a custom tag for each page/blog.
They wont make any changes to old posts or require you to go back and make edits of old posts....
We have tried a variety of other options and there is nothing that is easier and more functional than the plug ins.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Greg. No need to worry about anything. These plugins take care of a lot of basic stuff + give you the ability to do template(d) Meta Tags (Titles and Descriptions) based on your Focus Keyword (Yoast). All In One SEO also does a great job doing basic SEO without too much effort and then give you the ability to do more with custom meta tags for each page and so on. The URLs won't be impacted. You can tweak the URLs with your permalink settings so as long as you are not doing that, these plugins won't impact it.

The plugin Just makes filling out the Meta titles and descriptions easier and provides more technical SEO options for your pages/posts.
With regards to your archive pages, It wont change any Meta or URL info on existing posts, It will just point the Meta and Title etc when you edit the page.
I use Yoast on our WP sites, it makes editing pages for SEO benefits easy.

HTTPS, free certificates and Google seo
As we all know, Google decided to give some weight in rankings to encrypted sites. SSL certificate providers are quite a lot out there, but there is also a free alternative (Let’s Encrypt). I've been going over some of these services and compared Godaddy's and the above certificates, and there isn't much of a difference. The question is: using a free certificate would have the same effect as a paid one? I would rather pay for one than be punished for using a free one, but free would be good too.

SEO targeted text on Mobile Site Version
Hey Mozzers, I run SEO for a retail site www.uncommongoods.com. We are building a mobile version of our site on m.uncommongoods.com On each of the category pages of www.uncommongoods.com, we have included a few lines of text at the bottom of the page to get some of our target keywords into the body. As an example, if you look at this page: http://www.uncommongoods.com/office/journals-stationery/journals You'll see this copy at the bottom: "Find unique journals and diaries at UncommonGoods. Our creative journal gifts are great for marking special occasions with sentimental keepsakes." We are debating whether or not to remove this copy on the category pages of our mobile site, just to keep the pages as clean as possible. Would there be any risk in leaving this out ? Thanks for your help on this! -Zack

On-page SEO optimization
hi there! Is it possible not to be in the first 20 or 30 positions in the SERPs after executing onpage SEO actions (keyword optimization, metatags, ....) even for keywords for which there's not "too much" competition? Is there a way of visualize the pages indexed by the google bot? (the pages especifically, not the number) in order to discard indexing problems? Thank you!
