Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We are using SEO Ultimate’s and Yoast together on a Wordpress website, does anyone have negative experience by using this to plugins together?

The main result to use this, is because we could remove the /product/ from the slug.

Hi Guys,

I'm currently asked to work on a website. I noticed that the blog posts won't get indexed in Google. www.domain.com/blog does get indexed but the blogposts itself won't. They have been online for over 2 months now.

I found this in the robots.txt file:

Allow: /
Disallow: /kitchenhandle/
Disallow: /blog/comments/
Disallow: /blog/author/
Disallow: /blog/homepage/feed/

I'm guessing that the last line causes this issue. Does anyone have an idea if this is the case and why they would include this in the robots.txt?

Cheers!

Hi Luis,

We have a Wordpress Webshop. Because we want clean URL’s and not URL’s that have:

-           website.com/product/PRO1 or
-           website.com/product-catagory/CAT2
(standard Wordpress)

But we want:
-           website.com/PRO1 or
-           website.com/CAT2

In Yoast is possible to remove the URL /category/, but not the /product/. With SEO Ultimate’s it is possible. So we use them both. SEO Ultimate’s for the removal of the URL, and Yoast for it’s great functions: Sitemap, no index /page2/, no index media etc. etc.

But Yoast gives the following note:
‘’WordPress SEO (Yoast) is known to cause conflicts with SEO Ultimate. Please deactivate WordPress SEO if you wish to continue using SEO Ultimate.’’

I was wondering what this could mean for overal SEO performance. And maybe there is a way to remove the URL’s by using other methods > and remove the SEO Ultimate’s plugin.

Thanks!

Hi Nitin,

The URL is www.keukensduitsland.nl (/blog). The link to the blog page is in the bottom left corner called "Keukennieuws".

Thanks alot!

Hi Guy's,

I was wondering if it matters if your hosting servers is set on a different country than where you're website is targeting (.de (germany) website and the server is in france)

Thanks!

I'm using SEOquake toolbar to check my webpages. SEOquake says:

Microformats
Not found

Dublin Core
Not found

Geo Meta Tags
Not found

Is this really necessary? And will it have a positive effect on serp rankings?

Thanks!

I want to update my meta discriptions on product category level in a Wordpress website. I can update a bulk in Yoast.

it's now set as: 
%%term_title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%

but i want it to be: 
Text (term title) text, (term title) text ✓ UPS text, ✓ USP text.

Does anyone know what code i can use to update the meta discriptions?

We've launched a new website and i'm see a lot of 503 errors when i run Screaming Frog Seo Spider. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

You could exclude sertain IP ranges in the .htaccess but that will never block all US traffic.

Big question is, why would you want to block them? Are they not the target audience you try to reach? What about Canadian people living in the US?

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the advice. It's only that we have 500+ categories and 7.500+ products. Would it be a good option to start with the automated meta's > take our SEO profits > work our way up from top level and update them manualy daily? Our doesn't the automated way improve some quick wins for the timebeing?

Thanks!

i tried but it's only available for licensed users Wait for what webmaster tools gives back i guess?

Thanks,

i will give it a try, when it worked: i'll give you an update!

Hi Guy's,

We have a website with no outgoing links (only Facebook). Is this a good way to score better in the SERPS? Or is it better to have some outgoing "relevant" links for a natural linkjuice?

Thanks!

Hi Guy's,

On a Wordpress website we have a SEO Ultimate plugin running. Every day i get lot's of 404 errors of products that doesn't exist anymore (but are indexed, site: .... ).

In the beginning we had lot's of testproduct that are not coming back in the shop. So i was wondering if there is a way to automaticly redirect product when there are out of stock, or not comming back anymore... So my 404's can be fixed.

Thanks!

Screaming frog spider does index pages on our website like:

• wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/frontend/jquery-ui-touch-punch.min.js?ver=2.3.9
• wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/assets/css/checkbox.min.css?ver=2.3.2

Is it a bad/good idea to set my parameters in Webmastertools and tell Google not to crawl pages that begin with wp/content?

Thanks!

Thanks for the answers No outgoing links for the site

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there is a difference in SEO performance between a page which ends with .html or just with a slash.

For example:

• www.domain.com/test/ - www.domain.com/test.html

Which one is better? And is there a difference between productpages and productcategory pages. Because we see mostly productpages ending with .html and category pages ending with a slash.

Take a look at some big dutch companies like:

http://www.coolblue.nl/
http://www.bol.com/
https://www.zalando.nl/ (product page)

There are doing this with a reason.... i guess....

Thanks.

“The website http://www.vaneyckshutters.com/nl/ does not show in the index of Google (site:vaneyckshutters.com/nl/). This must be the homepage in the Netherlands. Previously, the page www.vaneyckshutters.com was redirected to /nl/. This page is accessible now with a canonical tag to http://www.vaneyckshutters.com/nl/ in the hope to let /nl/ be indexed. When we look at the SERPS for keyword ‘shutters’, the page http://www.vaneyckshutters.com/ is shown in Google.nl on #32 and in Belgium #3.

Problem & question: Why is it that /nl/ has not been indexed properly and why is it that we rank with http://www.vaneyckshutters.com on ‘shutters’ instead the/nl/ page?”
