Wordpress Pods and Wordpress SEO by Yoast
-
Hi
I am optimising a new site that has been built in Wordpress using Pods. The Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin is not recognising any content on the site - has anyone any ideas on how to get around this - does it matter - is it the plugin that is at fault rahter than the set up of the site?

Gail,
That makes sense. I looked again and the developer did add a custom plug in for the web site as a whole. My guess is that he went in and fixed this problem with this custom plug in and that is why it works. I would ask him for more detail but he is off line for a week in the backwoods of Montana.
If this is not resolved before the 28th ping me and I will ask him for more detail. These are both solid plug ins. It is crazy they do not work together natively.

After quick tweeting session with Joost de Valk @yoast this is the answer:
yeah that doesn’t work (posting content in widgets), known issue. We’re working on adding a filter to the post content that PODS could hook into.
Once again, many thanks for responding
Gail

thanks for taking the time to look into this. the tags are fine in Yoast but it is reporting no content on the site. i can see the content in html on the page source but am worried that if Yoast crawls the site in the same way that the search engines do, then it is going to cache without any content - even when i add content into the content widget it is not picked up by Yoast - very strange...

thanks for your response, this was along the lines of my thinking and i was about to try a different plugin - until i read the response below. will update any findings

HI,
I took a few minutes and looked at several sites where we are running Yoast (our preferred plug in) and PODS. None of these sites are having the problem you outlined. I took a few more minutes to see if there were any special settings on either plug in. There were not.
So my best guess is that your problem is coming from somewhere else.

Hi there,
I've not actually used Pods with Wordpress, but from the plugin description, it seems like the plugin create custom post types for you. I believe Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin works mostly for sites using the default posts and pages, which is why the plugin did not pick up the custom post types that you are using. In this case, you will have have to look into other SEO plugins or actually doing your own optimisation.

Wordpress pagination and SEO
Hello Mozzers, We have incorporated Wordpress blog in our website. The blog has a fair share of what we believe is a valuable content both for the users and SEO. We have reached the point where our content is getting pushed out to pages 2, 3 and etc. 99% of the older content is still relevant and useful. However it does get less traffic from the users because it is not on the front page. I am dealing with it by showing "related posts" and get some traffic through that. I feel that the content that got pushed from the front page of the blog gets less love from search engines as well.The my permalink structure is /%postname%/ only, however when Wordpress adds page/1/ the SEO ranking appears to drop. Is it because Wordpress adds page/1/ to the address? What is a good way to optimize is? I have 15 posts showing on the front page should I increase it?

Wordpress tags and duplicate content?
I've seen a few other Q&A posts on this but I haven't found a complete answer. I read somewhere a while ago that you can use as many tags as you would like. I found that I rank for each tag I used. For example, I could rank for best night clubs in san antonio, good best night clubs in san antonio, great best night clubs in san antonio, top best night clubs in san antonio, etc. However, I now see that I'm creating a ton of duplicate content. Is there any way to set a canonical tag on the tag pages to link back to the original post so that I still keep my rankings? Would future tags be ignored if I did this?

Minor SEO for Yahoo and Bing
Over the past year, we have completely optimized one of the sites we manage for Google (removed bad links, reduced keyword count, etc) and we are doing great for Google organic traffic. However, in the process we have seen a steady decline in Yahoo organic traffic and Bing organic traffic. Enough so that I am looking for suggestions for quick fixes that aren't going to interfere with the Google optimizations that we made. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Best SEO strategy for a site that has been down
Because of hosting problems we're trying to work out, our domain was down all weekend, and we have lost all of our rankings. Doe anyone have any experience with this kind of thing in terms of how long it takes to figure out where you stand once you have the site back up? what the best SEO strategy is for immediately addressing this problem? Besides just plugging away at getting links like normal, is there anything specific we should do right away when the site goes back up? Resubmit a site map, etc? Thanks!
