WP description plugin
-
Can anyone recommend a WP plugin which creates a description from the individual blog post it's describing?
-
Thanks Jeff
I've been resisting the Yoast solution for the same point you raised, but it does seem to be the best solution. Will download it into a test blog and try it out.
Thanks for you help

My vote's for headspace2.
I like that I can add js and css on the fly to specific pages with it easily.
-
Sure. The one that's getting the most attention right now is by Joost de Valk: http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/ It does a lot of SEO stuff and might be overkill. Another that creates a Title and Description field on the WP backend is HeadSpace2: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/headspace2/

Ok I'll take your advice. Could you recommend a good plugin to allow for easy addition of a description?
-
I wouldn't recommend automatically generating the meta description because it won't necessarily be the best summary to display in the serps. Writing something specific for users will have a better chance of click throughs.
-
I want it to do the former - take the first 165 chars from the post!
-
What do you mean? Just a character limiter that takes the first 165 characters of the post and adds it a meta description? Or one that uses the excerpt? Or something else?
All in One SEO does auto descriptions, not sure how they're generated though - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

Product Descriptions for Localized eCommerce Store
Hi, We currently have an eCommerce store that only sells in one country. We are going to open separate stores that will target different countries. As far as product descriptions go my initial plan was to use the same descriptions but then block product pages from being indexed. However this has also ended up blocking us from being able to use Google's product listing ads (it rejects the data feed due to not being able to index the products). Is there a way to copy the descriptions and avoid a delicate content issues without blocking our product pages from being indexed? Thanks for your help!

Crawl completed but still says meta description missing
Before the last crawl I went through and made sure all meta descriptions were not missing. However, from the last crawl on the 26th July, it still has the same pages on the list and showed they were crawled as well? Any ideas on why they may still be showing as missing?

Duplicate title tags and meta description tags
According to GWT, it seems that some of the pages on my website have duplicate title and meta tags. The pages identified by Google are nothing but dynamic pages: http://www.mywebsite.com/page.php

http://www.mywebsite.com/page.php?param=1
http://www.mywebsite.com/page.php?param=2 The thing is that I do use the canonical link tag on all pages. Should I also use the "robots noindex" tag when the page is invoked using a GET parameter? Again sorry for my english. Thank you, Stephane1 -
EzineArticles WordPress Plugin
Any thoughts on the EzineArticles plugin for WordPress? I read that it provides "the ability to simultaneously publish new posts to the web and submit them as articles to EzineArticles.com" Could this lead to duplicate content penalties?
