Which Wordpress Framework for Best SEO
-
Which wordpress framework would you use for SEO.
From what I have had a look at:
Thesis is good but you cannot use other SEO plugins with it such as yoast SEO as it is not compatible
Genesis or woo framework are good and a plugin like yoast SEO works well with them.
What are your thoughts?
-
Solid advice. AAAhhh.... reminding me I need to work on getting my content shared more easily too!
-
Genesis is the other big framework but never used. I stick to Thesis, you don't really need any seo plugins for it anyway.
I also think people worry too much about their WP blogs being super optimized, just worry about the content and getting the content shared.

agreed

I personally think the Yoast SEO plugin is the best... but you mignt want to try All-In-One SEO Pack for wordpress. You're going to miss out on some of the javacripty tools that tell you how many times your keyword focus phrase appears in your posts and pages but all the same basic tools are there and I've never had a problem with the implementation. It's what I use personally for a fallback.
-
I use 'Ultimate SEO' plugin and find it works wonders, has everything there you will need. Frameworks are indeed overrated, as long as you've got a good setup and proper url structure with a good seo plugin then you should be laughing.
-
I think the frameworks are over-rated. Just take a decently coded template and use Yoast's plugin for SEO.
-
I have used a variety of frameworks since my clients are scattered between so many different verticals. I have found that using a third party web builder for homepage and other major converting pages is huge if you really want 100% esthetic control... But uploading your Wordpress to the root file under a subpage (preferably using a keyword) and then building internal links from the nav bar and other in content areas of the 3rd party web built parts has been a major success in getting me almost 10 sites now first page, first spot google. Of course the content is king and best part the indexed post from Wordpress are now picked up as being tied to the root file adding more and more indexed pages to your site. Clients LOVE the flexibility in design and being able to take over some parts of the sites operability and they will LOVE you even more when they are out ranking their competitors. PS . I do not ever use any SEO plugins -chenzo

Our clients Magento 2 site has lots of obsolete categories. Advice on SEO best practice for setting server level redirects so I can delete them?
Our client's Magento website has been running for at least a decade, so has a lot of old legacy categories for Brands they no longer carry. We're looking to trim down the amount of unnecessary URL Redirects in Magento, so my question is: Is there a way that is SEO efficient to setup permanent redirects at a server level (nginx) that Google will crawl to allow us at some point to delete the categories and Magento URL Redirects? If this is a good practice can you at some point then delete the server redirects as google has marked them as permanent?

Domain forwarding or redirects for SEO?
Hi all! A client of mine owns several top level domains which are not in use, let's call them example.nu, example.de, example.net and so on. The current website is example.com.
Technical SEO | | JHultqvist
When checking the technical status of the unused domains I realized that all but one are forwarded (via DNS) to example.com and only one has a 301 redirect. Should I redirect all of them by means of 301 or let them stay forwarded? Very few of the domains have any other sites linking to them. Any thoughts would be really appreciated! Jesper0 -

Structured markup for wordpress
Hello, I am having problems with marking up my WP posts. I used the All-in-One which seems to be the most user-friendly, except when I denote the aspects of the "article" and update, the markup shows up as a box at the bottom of the post (even though the info is in the text). How do I mark these up for Google without having the unseemly box at the bottom? Thanks so much in advance for any help! Btw, I am not altogether comfortable just yet on manual schematic markup (if you have a really basic manual markup that will let me do so across various platforms, I would also appreciate the recommendation). Thanks!

302 Redirects & WordPress
Hi Mozzers- We started a WordPress blog for one of my clients to help improve the domain authority, increase visits, etc. a few months ago. I ran a crawl report a few days ago and noticed that the /trackback/ pages are getting redirected to the appropriate page using a 302 redirect not a 301 redirect. I've search through the forum looking for other similar questions and found one. The answer suggested that I use the TAC plugin and check for any malicious code. I did this and found nothing. Another response suggested using the Redirection plugin. I haven't tried this yet. Has anyone encountered this and if so, how did you deal with it. Thank you! LHC
