Hi Julio,
I wrote a blog post a while ago on how to optimise your site using Yoast SEO, check it out here.
Also another one I wrote was on LSI keyword placement within content, check it out here.
If you do solid keyword research, optimise your Wordpress site as per the first post and optimise your content as per the second, you should get great results.

Hi Julio,
Robert and Thomas have linked to some excellent resources that are specific to on-page SEO for Wordpress. In addition to studying these resources, I would recommend learning about the fundamentals of SEO in a broader sense. Moz has many free educational resources for subscribers to increase their knowledge of SEO and all things marketing, including videos, written guides, and live Mozinars. I would start, however, with The Beginner's Guide to SEO and mastering Pro Analytics. Best of luck, and welcome to Moz!

Hi
I think Yoast makes the best WordPress SEO plug-in by a lot. The second best would be the All in One SEO Pack
each offer a Pro version I would use Yoast
I agree with Rob and strongly recommend Dan Shure's excellent article on setup WordPress for SEO success there is some fantastic information in their and he is a true WordPress expert.
http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success
If you are going to be moving it like you said to a new plug-in preferably Yoast use this plug-in to keep your existing settings like your title tags and Meta tags it will save you a lot of time.

if you are going to switch your current plug-in for a new one I to recommend WordPress SEO by Yoast
https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/
If you run NGINX to use your XML Sitemaps with NGINX, Here are the rewrite rules you'll need:
# Rewrites for WordPress SEO XML Sitemap rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last; rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;If you feel that you're going to have trouble with settings even though there are quite logical in my opinion. I recommend purchasing the premium plug-in as you will get access to Yoast support in addition to connecting to Webmaster tools and having a very capable 301 redirect plug-in built into the Yoast WordPress SEO premium versionYou can reach out to Yoast for support at any time the cost is $89 for the first website and there are bundles discounts course afterwards.

The support you get

This is a good example of how in-depth Yoast support is compared to other plug-ins

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Hello Julio,
Yoast is a great plugin to use as a general framework for SEO practice - this does not mean you have to follow the instructions to the letter, but it does give you some ideas in how to create quality content and it is extremely easy to use. I use it as my go-to plug-in whenever I am setting up a site on Wordpress.
Somewhat dated, but still fairly effective, guide to using Wordpress:
http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success
Here are some more plugin options for you to consider:
http://moz.com/ugc/roundup-of-35-wordpress-seo-plugins
Help with optimizing Wordpress:
http://moz.com/webinars/advanced-wordpress-seo
These will all help - in short, I would strongly suggest Yoast as an SEO tool for Wordpress. Feel free to fire any questions you have my way.
Rob

Unsolved Using Weglot on wordpress (errors)
Good day to you all, Does anyone have experience of the errors being pulled up by Moz about the utility of the weglot plugin on Wordpress? Moz is pulling up URLs such as: https://www.ibizacc.com/es/chapparal-2/?wg-choose-original=false These are classified under "redirect issues" and 99% of the pages are with the ?wg-choose parameter in the URL. Is this having an actual negative impact on my search or is it something more Moz related being highlighted. Any advice be appreciated and a resolution .. Im thinking I could exclude this parameter.

How to Avoid Duplicate Page Content errors when using Wordpress Categories & Tags?
I get a lot of duplicate page errors on my crawl diagnostics reports from 'categories' and 'tags' on my wordpress sites. The post is 1x link and then the content is 'duplicated' on the 'category' or 'tag' that is added to the page. Should I exclude the tags and categories from my sitemap or are these issues not that important? Thanks for your help Stacey

Temporary Redirect Notice regarding Wordpress
Hello, Under the warnings in Moz, we have 44 temporary redirect warnings showing up because we moved our blog from timelinkblogs.wordpress.org to our subdomain blog.timelink.org within Wordpress. Wordpress indicates that these were permanent 301 redirects, but Moz is indicating that they are temporary. We want to be sure that they are permanent so we retain the SEO credit. Can someone please confirm that these are permanent redirects i.e. http://blog.timelink.com/2012/02/17/true-stories-time-and-attendance-pay-rules-2 Moz is showing the following- it has a "trackback" added to the URL? http://blog.timelink.com/2012/02/17/true-stories-time-and-attendance-pay-rules-2/trackback/ Thanks!

Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are 1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
Moz Pro | | Andyfools
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/ It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page. Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated? (btw I didn't build this site) Thanks Simon0 -
"Too many on-page links" warning on all of my Wordpress pages
Hey guys, I've got like 120 "Too many on-page links" warnings in my crawl diagnostics section. They're all the pages of my WordPress blog. Is this an acceptable and expected warning for Wordpress or does something need to be better optimized? Thanks.

90% of our sites that are designed are in wordpress and the report brings up "duplicate" content errors. I presume this is down to a conical error?
We are looking at getting the Agency version of SEOMoz and are based in the UK Could you please tell me what would be the best way to correct this issue as this appears to be a problem with all our clients websites. an example would be www.fsgenergy.co.uk Would you also be able to suggest the best SEO plugin to use with SEOMOz ? Many thanks Paul
