Whats the best way to creat a sitemap for a wordpress sitw with more than 1.000 posts
-
I tried to use yoast and google xml plugins but I´ve notice there are several important posts to me are not there... I´ve already checked if there was any post with noindex, and everything looks good
Now I´m creating the sitemap file with screaming frog but it is not so convenient as a plugin... any suggestions or tips?

Try the DYNO Mapper sitemap generator. It has a plugin built for Wordpress that can authenticate and crawl all of your pages within your Wordpress site or any additional sub-domains that you have. This is great because most large website contain several websites on sub-domains and cms systems. It also includes Google Analytics and Content Audit features to check for bad links and errors. It can export your XML sitemaps for search engines and HTML for your website.

just perfect thomas, many many thanks.. I will check all those links and let you know. Right now I´m testing slickplan and looks great also.
At the momento I´m using WPengine, it works great to me

I would honestly try to troubleshoot Yoast far before I made a site map that did not update when I create new content.
The website for Yoast http://yoast.com/ is very informative and I believe that you can simply turn the index to on in advanced.
although there are some fantastic do-it-yourself site map tools for instance

while you're there check out your robots.txt file make sure nothing's been blocked.

if you find screaming frog one of the best tools on the web if you ask me to be frustrating which it can be. I would look for a another plug-in to create your site map.
This is from personal experience however when WP engine 1st started up they would only allow us to use this plug-in
http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/
an excellent plug-in if I may say so
here are some other excellent site maps

http://www.webdesignlessons.com/5-sitemap-generator-plugins-for-wordpress/
if I may suggest one more time. I would simply take the Yoast plug-in export all the settings.
Then delete the plug-in as well is empty the cash.
Then reinstall the plug-in it is in my opinion the best for search engine optimization. However there are other alternatives of course.

If I may make another suggestion is if you're using WordPress I suggest using a managed WordPress hosting company.
My reason is twofold they understand hosting and are extremely knowledgeable about WordPress. Many times we spend time trying to figure out things that with a managed WordPress hosting company would mean the answer is we fixed it or do this after only 20 min. They will fix the problem and are well worth it in my opinion.
If I may some great managed WordPress hosting companies are ZippyKid, WPengine, web synthesis, Pagely, get flywheel & presslabs.
I strongly suggest you check them out as they are all fantastic compared to run-of-the-mill hosting and truly do care about your website much more than the average post not to forget their faster and much more secure.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Martin,
I think Slick plan is a great tool. This makes it more of a drawing operation to create a site map . Once the site map is completed you can export this out to XML.

Looking for a Proof Reader for a Moz Blog Post..
Hello everybody, After being here for 4 years I decided to write a post for YouMoz. That was about 3 months ago, and while I have read, re-read and proofed this thing a dozen times since, I know my own limits. I honestly want the post to be the best it can be, and while I stand by my article, I know my forte is not with writing. My article is about Beginning SEO and Where to Start, yes it maybe cliche but I find myself answering many of the questions on these QA boards that I address in this article. It would be nice to have a post I could point to when such situations arise. What I'm looking for is one or two persons with a strong knowledge of basic SEO, the ability to understand me (a cluttered mind), and strong grammar skills. Credit will be given to those who want it. The article is basically in what I consider a finished state, I just need to add a compendium video for one of the sections. I have done my own artwork, research, and document design. I just need a keen eye to snuff out those grammar errors I always miss and somebody to tell me if a section doesn't make sense. If you are interested please let me know here, or send me a PM. I would like to have something to review to make my selection so if you're not active here, a link to where you are would be beneficial. I know that might be asking a lot; help and you also get vetted, but the idea is I don't want to send out what I think is a very good article only to see it appear on another site. Thank you, Don P.S. To the Moz staff. Once I make my selection I will mark at least one response as Good so it don't keep annoying you as an un-answered question.

Blog Posts: 1 link per 125 words?
I've seen this "1 link per 125 words" for blog posts suggestion pop up a variety of places. I wanted to know if that's "correct" or a best practice? In my posts, I generally write between 800 to 1200 words with about 4 to 6 links in the body of the post. However, (and this may be a problem) I add about 13 links in my closing paragraph, "if you have any legal questions, etc etc, click here for your "Tampa personal injury attorney, Clearwater Personal Injury Attorney, etc etc for all the areas we practice in related to that blog post." Should I stop doing that? Does that come off as spammy? (The blog is hosted on our site, if that matters for this question at all). Thanks, Ruben

Duplicate Page Content WordPress blog with categories?
Just got a crawl report back from SEOmoz and it gives me lots of errors for "duplicate page content". Upon investigating, I notice this is because my WP blog is setup into categories so the home page is almost identical to one of the category pages. None of my actually posts are the same but the category pages have some overlap since the same post could show up in two or more categories. Is this a problem or can I just ignore this error? Any thing I should be doing differently? Thanks!
