Is it Safe to Migrate from All-in-Seo WordPress Plugin to Yoast Plugin ?
-
I am using All-in SEO plugin from the time we started using blog, can we use the new Yoast plugin, i mean i do not want to lose any data or value to our article.
I want to migrate them
Will it be safe ! some saying do not go - others says you can !
Please if you ever did or have experience tell me ! My Blog is important for me !
The Yoast plugin gives many features compare to All-in-SEO.

Yeah any custom of the AIO custom fields you've configured will probably need to be re-entered into Yoast's custom fields. You can just copy and paste these out to a spreadsheet or something and then paste them back into the Yoast custom fields.
So yes, the functionality is retained to have separate search engine titles/descriptions and blog page titles/descriptions

Thanks guys,
"Have you setup custom meta descriptions and titles in All in One SEO?"
Each article page i make a customized Title and for the post and in AIO custom field in new post, And add meta keyword, descriptions under 160.
Are you telling about that ?
Can we have different title for the post a reader see in blog and in Google ?

Have you setup custom meta descriptions and titles in All in One SEO?
If so, you'll probably need to manually migrate these from one to the other.
If you've just relied on the default/automatic settings in All in One then you should be fine to swap over. Obviously each plug-in is different, so you may notice some changes to how it handles meta tags, redirects, etc. so you might see some impact on your search results (not necessarily down), but I would imagine it would be negligible.
Personally I'd go for Yoast's plugin over AIO, as it offers several features that AIO doesn't have. It's also kept more up to date, and Yoast really knows what he's doing. If you're going to make the switch do it now and then stick with it.

Yes this is a totally normal procedure. But as in everything you do with wordpress or otherwise please BACK-UP FIRST. But the procedure is standard and is done often. Both are quality plugins with Yoast definitely being the most popular choice. So a switch between the two is natural.
Here is the step by step guide:

Can Yoast plugin change back old title automatically?
I have a problem with the first page on my website. Im using Wordpress and Yoast SEO plugin. After I have changed and updated some information on the page, I also wanted to change and make a better page title. That I understand is to be changed under pages, by scrolling down to the Yoast setting for the specific page. Is that right? However, I have changed the title over and over again, and asked Google to re-index the page. Everything is fine directly after that. But when I check again after 24-48 hours, the page have automatically changed back to the old title? How is that possible? I´ve tried about 5-10 times, but it does the same thing after 24-48 hours every time. Hope you people with great knowledge can help me out here. 🙂

Do we take a SEO hit for having multiple URLs on an infinite scroll page vs a site with many pages/URLs. If we do take a hit, quantify the hit we would suffer.
We are redesigning a preschool website which has over 100 pages. We are looking at 2 options and want to make sure we meet the best user experience and SEO. Option 1 is to condense the site into perhaps 10 pages and window shade the content. For instance, on the curriculum page there would be an overview and each age group program would open via window shade. Option 2 is to have an overview and then each age program links to its own page. Do we lose out on SEO if there are not unique URLS? Or is there a way using metatags or other programming to have the same effect?

SEO Budgets, the million dollar question???
Hi All, I am currently looking to revamp my SEO strategy inline with Google's latest Panda and Penguin updates, and looking to appoint a new agency. With SEO changing so much over the years and so many players in the marketplace quoting all sorts, I simply need to determine the kind of money I need to be spending on my SEO, 2) what i should be getting for the money, or different budget levels what I need to be focusing on in priority order, a top ten in sorts Should i be looking to increase or decrease my spend over the long term. I am only a small business with a turnover of about 50 - 80k and need to really cement my strategy so it work long term but also shows a steady return. I have one guy quoting $99 a month, one £250 and one £750, you can probably see my problem. Thanks in advance.

SEO for a starter
Hi I operate in a rather competitive market (IT and project management related training), and my focus is the UK market. I've recently started focussing on SEO. I have been creating content, albeit slowly. I have completed writing a book on my target subject, which is due to go out in a couple of weeks (I've received very positive feedback so far). And I have a decent PPC campaign. To get to decent ranking on Google etc., my plan is 1. Focussing on quality content and publishing on my site (I have about 15-20 articles in the pipeline). Reaching out for guess posts is next, but creating this much content is hard. 2. Get external SEO help for link building and off-page SEO. This is somewhat confusing for me, as I've got offers ranging from blog posts, BMR etc. I have some budget for this, but don't exactly know what to target. 3. Gradual focus on on-page optimisation. I haven't done anything on social front, on FB, Twritter. I do have a solid LinkedIn profile (personal). I have one full time resource available to help me out. What should I focus on? What am I missing? Cheers.
