Anyone using Adobe Business Catalyst and Fixing SEO URL Blog Updates?

[jessential]

Does anyone else have experience with the current update Adobe Business Catalyst has announced for their blog features?

Florin at BC offered the code below:

However nether myself nor another commentator can figure out how to make it work:

I added the meta data to my template but it seems the tags are not correct. For example, the tag  {tag_blogpostmetatitle} does not automatically include the SEO title that I've called out in my individual blog post. So, it appears the browser is ignoring the tag and just including it as is. When I view the source for my live blog article, this is what I get for the lines that I've added the code in the tag:

Also, I cannot get schema metadata to work on the BC blog. For example, I have used it on this page: http://www.homedestination.com/_blog/Real_Estate_Blog/post/things_to_know_before_building_a_new_home/; which yields the following in Google's Rich Snippet Tool:

Extracted structured data rdfa-node property:  title: {tag_blogpostmetatitle} description:__{tag_blogpostmetadescription}

Hey, jessential - it looks like this post has had numerous views, but no responses.  Were you able to figure out anything?  I have a potential client who uses ABC, and I'm trying to figure out what kinds of issues I may run into.  Thanks in advance!

Hi Scott,

It has taken nearly three months for many blog posts to re-index. I find Adobe Business Catalyst is working on ironing out the wrinkles in their blog updates and are certainly at a better end already. If you start now, you should miss all the URL redirects that have been required to update all blog posts with their structured improvements. I think they are getting closer to being a real competitor to a WordPress blog.

Also, I have had to follow Google Analytics very close to handle problems with Duplicate meta descriptions.

For example, many read like this:

http://www.homedestination.com/re​al-​est​ate​-bl​og/​twi​n-c​iti​es-​tra​dit​ion​al-​hom​e-s​ale​s-u​p/

http://www.homedestination.com/re​al-​est​ate​-bl​og/​twi​n-c​iti​es-​tra​dit​ion​al-​hom​e-s​ale​s-u​phttp://www.homedestination.com/re​al-​est​ate​-bl​og/​twi​n_c​iti​es_tra​dit​ion​al_hom​e_s​ale​s_u​pThat said. do you think it is better to use Adobe Business Catalyst for the main site and combine it with a WordPress blog?

Thanks so much for the fast response - and thorough, as well!  

Unfortunately, my prospective client has been using ABC for a year, and has dozens of blog posts, so it sounds like I'll have some fun to work through!

I don't have an opinion yet on using ABC + WP, but I will shortly!  Feel free to reach out any time to share experiences or questions (I follow this post, so I'll see it!)  Thanks again!

Scott,

I am wondering how your ABC + WP results came in. Would you have an update on you're experience?
