The SEO Title Tag plugin sounds like a must. I managed to triple search engine traffic to one of my sites just by making the page titles more descriptive.

Of course, to get the page titles right, you've got to get the post titles right so using this on a log isn't a surefire route to success. Nevertheless, I'm going to give it a go.

Hi Vinny,
I am a newbie, and I was trying my hands at wordpress blogging.

I picked up a theme from one of the many sites available, and then realized that there were embedded links to drugs/movies sites in the theme.

Since then, I have stayed away from using theme/plugins from sites other than wordpress.org.

I was just wondering if you have personally tried these plugins, and sure that they do not have any malicious code in them
thanks
shan

Hey Jan

You should be using 301 redirects, to redirect any links to the location of the old posts, to the new location, using the redirection plugin, based on the old file structure. I hope this helps?

Hey Vin,

I used the permalinks plugin to move my posts to the root. That worked 100% and all posts moved automatically. Then I installed the redirection plugin you suggested and followed the instructions. Maybe I'm missing something, but if my post is already in the new location, how will adding a custom redirect field to it have any benefit?

Wordpress seem to have moved all my posts to the root automatically, which is great, but now my incoming links don't work & I'm not sure how the redirection plugin can fix it...

Thanks man
Jan

Hey Glen

Thanks - sorry, we were moving servers yesterday, hence the fact that the site was down. Just fixed the problem.

Thanks

The non www version of your site also produces 404 errors, might want to look at that.

Hey Skye

I'm not sure I understand and I've tried searching and can't find what you're referring to. I can't find any nested results. Could you post a link to a screenshot?

Thanks
Vinny

Hi Vinny,

Love the post, I am a little confused though. Regarding the permalink plugin in which you describe moving ones posts to the root, I came to your site using the Search: Vinny lingham+seo plugins wordpress. The Google results show this page as the number one result with the old page (the older version of this page just a few folders deep) as a nested result.

Surely this could be construed as duplicate content? I am no expert so may just be confusing myself but would like to hear your opinion on it.

Many Thanks

Skye

You have a couple of really great ones here and some I've definitely like making use of the redirects. But I do think you missed out on one.

Head Space 2, it really allows you to control you post meta values. A well put together plugin. It makes life very simple.

Cheers from a fellow South African

Great post, will save these tips I am sure I'll use this and also share this with many of our affiliates!, thanks for sharing!!!

A few days ago I came across another plugin (I haven't tested it yet, so any feedback is welcome):
http://www.joostdevalk.nl/wordpress/meta-robots...

As the name says this plugin enables the users of it to define what robots should follow or not I believe (correct me if I am wrong).

Happy blogging
