Recommendation for Geotheme or other directory plugins / themes
-
Hello,
I was wondering, if anyone here in this community runs a directory using wordpress + a geolocation theme like Geoplaces or Geotheme or others. I have tested Geoplaces and felt with around 100 business entries that my page loaded superslow (up to 4 sec) already on a power server.
I would like to work with a fast, secure and SEO-friendly directory theme...any recommandations?

Just to let you know...I can not recommend that theme. I have purchased and tested it. For a quick install of a directory it is not bad but the customization is really a no go. I prefer WP Types+Views+CRED now for a directory. It is a little bit of work to set it up but it works afterwards perfectly.

Hey Tim,
thanks for the quick feedback. I have seen that theme and it is still in my "to test" list. The big disadvantage of the Directory Portal Wordpress Theme is that you have nearly no option to customize your entries. I would like to have a lot of custom fields (schema data would be perfect). Was already thinking to get a plain theme and plugins like Gravaty forms, interactive map and to program a few things on my own. But then I probably would have a slow site again...

From a company perspective; would you recommend using a service like postloop to acquire additional blog comments through paying users.
I’m always hesitant when it comes to purchasing comments but it seems like a natural approach. Is this something that Google would take notice and/or frown upon? - Anything we should avoid? Any additional information would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Supplement/Nutritional Facts
This may be a hard one for most to answer. I am wondering if supplement facts should be listed as html on a website or as an image? I see the benefit of both. Having a master image that can be saved into a lower res version and posted to the website eliminates issues with misspellings, etc. It also displays the information the same regardless of user and would be much easier to manage in terms of setup. Our formulations change from time to time, so it is important that our labels are consistent across all platforms. That being said, having the facts in html, would add potentially useful search content to the page and I imagine it would be helpful for disabled persons who use text readers. Any thoughts on this? I haven't discovered any recommendations or specs on this but I've seen it done both ways on many different sites.

How do I properly sitemap a site with static pages + Wordpress in it's own directory?
I apologize for the awkward wording in the headline. No to the issue, I have a site with static pages that are created as follows: url.com, url.com/page1, url.com/page2, etc. I then have WordPress install at url.com/blog. What is the proper method for creating a comprehensive sitemap for my entire domain. I like the sitemap feature provided by Yoast SEO plugin but I assume it will only index the wordpress directory (url.com/blog). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any recommended stock photo websites?
Hello there, I'm looking for a stock photo website for our company blog posts. We used iStockphoto in the past, but they raised their prices and it just isn't worth the price. Does anyone have suggestions for a good stock photo site that is less expensive?

Has anyone used http://www.congoo.com
Hi, i got sent an email and normally i ignore them but decided on this occasion i would try it. It was an email from congoo.com saying it is a great place to get noticed. Now i have joined and to be honest it is a lot of rubbish when it comes to promoting yourself. I have mine here http://www.congoo.com/In2town The only place that i see you can promote yourself is at the top but once you change your article it goes, so is it all a con. would like to hear your thoughts

Related posts Wordpress plugin
Hi, I was wondering what Wordpress plugin you are using to add related posts to your blog posts. I would need one that allows you to pick the related posts manually and doesn't break the on-page SEO. Thank you! George
