Anyone using Adobe Business Catalyst and Fixing SEO URL Blog Updates?
-
Does anyone else have experience with the current update Adobe Business Catalyst has announced for their blog features?
Florin at BC offered the code below:

However nether myself nor another commentator can figure out how to make it work:
I added the meta data to my template but it seems the tags are not correct. For example, the tag {tag_blogpostmetatitle} does not automatically include the SEO title that I've called out in my individual blog post. So, it appears the browser is ignoring the tag and just including it as is. When I view the source for my live blog article, this is what I get for the lines that I've added the code in the tag:
Also, I cannot get schema metadata to work on the BC blog. For example, I have used it on this page: http://www.homedestination.com/_blog/Real_Estate_Blog/post/things_to_know_before_building_a_new_home/; which yields the following in Google's Rich Snippet Tool:
Extracted structured data rdfa-node property: title: {tag_blogpostmetatitle} description:__{tag_blogpostmetadescription}

Scott,
I am wondering how your ABC + WP results came in. Would you have an update on you're experience?
-
Thanks so much for the fast response - and thorough, as well!
Unfortunately, my prospective client has been using ABC for a year, and has dozens of blog posts, so it sounds like I'll have some fun to work through!
I don't have an opinion yet on using ABC + WP, but I will shortly! Feel free to reach out any time to share experiences or questions (I follow this post, so I'll see it!) Thanks again!

Hi Scott,
It has taken nearly three months for many blog posts to re-index. I find Adobe Business Catalyst is working on ironing out the wrinkles in their blog updates and are certainly at a better end already. If you start now, you should miss all the URL redirects that have been required to update all blog posts with their structured improvements. I think they are getting closer to being a real competitor to a WordPress blog.
Also, I have had to follow Google Analytics very close to handle problems with Duplicate meta descriptions.
For example, many read like this:
http://www.homedestination.com/real-estate-blog/twin-cities-traditional-home-sales-up/
http://www.homedestination.com/real-estate-blog/twin-cities-traditional-home-sales-uphttp://www.homedestination.com/real-estate-blog/twin_cities_traditional_home_sales_upThat said. do you think it is better to use Adobe Business Catalyst for the main site and combine it with a WordPress blog?

Hey, jessential - it looks like this post has had numerous views, but no responses. Were you able to figure out anything? I have a potential client who uses ABC, and I'm trying to figure out what kinds of issues I may run into. Thanks in advance!

We switched the domain from www.blog.domain.com to domain.com/blog. This was done with the purpose of gaining backlinks to our main website as well along with to our blog. This set us very low in organic traffic and not to mention, lost the backlinks. For anything, they are being redirected to 301 code. Kindly suggest changes to bring back all the traffic.

Trailing Slashes In Url use Canonical Url or 301 Redirect?
I was thinking of using 301 redirects for trailing slahes to no trailing slashes for my urls. EG: www.url.com/page1/ 301 redirect to www.url.com/page1 Already got a redirect for non-www to www already. Just wondering in my case would it be best to continue using htacces for the trailing slash redirect or just go with Canonical URLs?
