Thanks Phil I guess my main concern is avoiding duplicate content situations. So it sounds like only allowing categories to be indexed is the best bet

Thanks Phil.  The blog post you reference only talks about Yoast seo pack.

Any thoughts on the All in One?  I'm looking for a good resource that will explain the best way to set it up.........specifically the index or noindex

I'm finding conflicting information about the right way to configure the All in One SEO Pack wordpress plugin.

Do I index or noindex for the items below?

Use noindex for Categories - yes or no?

Use noindex for Archives - yes or no?

Use noindex for Tag Archives - yes or no?

Thanks for the info!  I'm working on loading up the xml-sitemaps software now.

What is the purpose of a link to all the sitemaps in a robots.txt file?

there is already a sitemap on my server that was generated by my web developers.  What is the best practice for overriding an existing site map?

Thank you Cyril.  Based on my research as well this seems to be a good option.  Google webmaster tools also recommends it.

Thanks Jbrock!

That really helps to see how yours is set up.  My website developer currently has a sitemap set up however I don't think its taking advantage of all the features possible.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good XML Sitemap Generator?  Also interested in best practices and tips for updating the XML Sitemap.

I typically have relied on my web developers to do this however it seems that they have not been setting this up with SEO in mind.

Joel is correct.  Analytics does still allow you to download a report that shows the actual keywords used that led them to your website

Does anyone have recommendations on the best tool(s) to use to check the keyword density of each page of a website?

I'm not sure if SEOmoz has such a tool.
