What is the best SEO Plug-in for Wordpress?What is the best SEO Plug-in for Wordpress?
-
I manage a Wordpress site and I am interested to get the community's views on the best SEO plug-ins around? We are looking at using Yoast. Should I be looking at anything else?
-
Another vote for Yoast SEO Plugin, there is a premium version now, but dont think this means the free is in some form a limited plugin it is still a full featured polished product that works well. (Premium offers better support, and redirect module, which can be used free by another plugin)
-
Yoast is better for a number of reasons. The main one is being able to really nail down custom category titles, which is important if you organise your blog this way. AIOSEO is a very good plugin but yeah, Yoast wins.
Also, see a full test just recently completed by a top Moz contributor, Dan Shure:

I also vote for Yoast.
Plugins are all about ease of use and efficient features, it has it all.
I love that we can see how the page will look on Google, and I love how it gives advices on : you may turn on or off this feature.
Let me know what you choose

Thanks

I knew you would! Good luck with your project (s).

Thanks Travis. I'll be sure to review the SEO manually as well.
-
Thanks Patrick that's really helpful. I'll be sure to check it out.

I also use Yoast for every website. I tried a few other plugins but i switched back to Yoast a few month ago because of the very good XML sitemap and breadcrumbs implementation.
-
My vote goes to Yoast. I do urge you to manually review the SEO of your site as well since any plugin cannot optimize your site entirely.

Conor,
Yoast is a good plugin and I know a lot of people use it, but honestly, I find the All In One SEO Pack to be awesome! We use it on almost every website we develop. Check it out and install it to play around with the setup. Here are some resource links to review. We love it and hope this helps in your search! - Patrick

Does anyone have any experience with Instart Logic, and its effects (if any) on SEO?
Instart Logic is a content delivery network CDN, which claims to have a positive effect on time to first bite (TTFB). Faster site = good for SEO, right? Our initial investigation seems to confirm its claims to some degree, which is great, but at the same time we think it may lower our score on Google's PageSpeed Insights tool, which sort of negates its effect in other areas. If the user experience is worse (according to Google's own tool), are we effectively shooting ourselves in the foot by concentrating on TTFB as a ranking algorithm factor? For reference: https://moz.com/blog/improving-search-rank-by-optimizing-your-time-to-first-byte

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

Best start for int'l SEO?
Hi all We're soon going to begin our international SEO efforts, and I wanted to get some opinions on laying the foundation first. I'm aware of the best, most ideal practices (getting a proper translator, ccTLDs vs subdomains vs folders, etc.) and wanted to know if this would be a good first step: Creating folders by language/country code (does it matter which?) that will have unique copy on the respective page, and targeting those pages to the corresponding country via Google WMT. The nature of our website would require a massive, coordinated effort to translate all of the content, so I was thinking about starting with the homepage for each country and going from there. Is the risk of duplicate content for every new folder too high to chance not translating EVERY bit of content? Thanks for any help or advice!

Wordpress Shortcodes Showing in SERPs
We use some Wordpress shortcodes in our theme and they aren't in the meta description at all. For certain queries, the shortcodes show on the SERPs when Google chooses the description for us -- is there any way to clean this up or prevent it? It's annoying because it includes the entire shortcode, not the markup that gets generated as a result of the shortcode...

Best URL Structure For Products That Are The Same
I know that the url structure is very important for seo preferably using the keyword. But is it okay to have the same url with the product number at the end ? Each of our products have a name with a product number. Or will this cause to many similar urls? or if the folder is the name of the product that needs to be optimized, can the page just be called the product number? Example: Say you have a 20 different product lines and they are all catagorized in the appropriate folders, and need to be optimized for the actual product name. XXX (folder name ) WWW-PR-123 WWW-PR-1234 WWW-PR-12345 WWW-PR-123456 what would be the best url structure? Can they have the same begining? The product name? something like: www.example.com/xxx/www-pr-123.php www.example.com/xxx/www-pr-1234.php or www.example.com/xxx/pr-123.php www.example.com/xxx/pr-1234.php
