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

Pop-ups ok for SEO?
Are unintrusive pop-ups okay or is Google likely to impose a black mark? I'm not talking about making people stay on the site, just talking about little one corner pop-up for a special offer. An example would be an embedded live chat pop-up. Have you had any experience?

Removing Media from Wordpress
I've run the seomoz on page report and found an interesting issue. I'm using wordpress and it seems that every picture I add to my articles seem to be added as separate pages to the site. I'm having to go to each and every picture and creating a meta tag and description to it. I still get duplicate content issues with the same. On my Disqus system, I get the same pictures added just as a page or article would look like. What can I do to avoid this?

301 redirects and seo..
I bought a domain and it has nice traffic. It only has about 5 main pages in php When i got the site i switched to html because php was overkill. I did the 301 and google deleted the php files and replaced with html version when i check site:domain.com It has been about 7 days. I DID NOT use 301 for each of the 5 pages to go php to html instead is used this code RewriteEngine On
Technical SEO | | samerk
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RedirectMatch 301 (.).php$ http://www.mydomain.com$1.html So basically if you load php it will load the html version. dog.php > dog.html Is this OKAY? or should it be done differently.... worried! Thanks !0 -

SEO Checklist
Ok I know that this would be a huge over-simplification but I am wondering if there is (at least a bird's eye view) a checklist of SEO do's and dont's? I checked to see if something like this existed but could not find one. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks~

Best Practice to Remove a Blog
Note: Re-posting since I accidentally marked as answered Hi, I have a blog that has thousands of URL, the blog is a part of my site. I would like to obsolete the blog, I think the best choices are 1. 404 Them: Problem is a large number of 404's. I know this is Ok, but makes me hesitant. 2. meta tag no follow no index. This would be great, but the question is they are already indexed. Thoughts? Thanks PS A 301 redirect to the main page would be flagged as a soft 404

Subdomains at Yola, Blogger, Wordpress
If the purpose of constructing a site or blog is for SEO ie a linking microsite, is it better to keep as a subdomain or to register on its own domain. The question is how much of the Domain Authority of that site will flow through the subdomain to linked site. I note that these subdomains have PA of 1, does this answer my own question?? Thanks eg widgets.yolasite.com or widgets.wordpress.com
