Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Rather than creating the same report layout for each of your campaigns in Moz Analytics?

Anyone know?

Yeah any custom of the AIO custom fields you've configured will probably need to be re-entered into Yoast's custom fields. You can just copy and paste these out to a spreadsheet or something and then paste them back into the Yoast custom fields.

So yes, the functionality is retained to have separate search engine titles/descriptions and blog page titles/descriptions

Have you setup custom meta descriptions and titles in All in One SEO?

If so, you'll probably need to manually migrate these from one to the other.

If you've just relied on the default/automatic settings in  All in One then you should be fine to swap over. Obviously each plug-in is different, so you may notice some changes to how it handles meta tags, redirects, etc. so you might see some impact on your search results (not necessarily down), but I would imagine it would be negligible.

Personally I'd go for Yoast's plugin over AIO, as it offers several features that AIO doesn't have. It's also kept more up to date, and Yoast really knows what he's doing. If you're going to make the switch do it now and then stick with it.

Hi Alejandro,

I was wondering how you got on with this?

I'm currently looking at moving a client away from the Magneto AhedWorks blog extension as the SEO functionality seems very lacking.

I'm looking at the wordpress integration.

Did it work out for you?

Thanks!

That's a very good point.

It's always tricky looking for trust indicators in the murky side of SEO I think, however there seem to be plenty of "happy & genuine" punters on blackhatworld, with examples, etc.

To be honest I wouldn't want to put a link or a testimonial on a black hat link building site!

Yes, these links are clearly going to be piles of dog poo - but if it's working for a load of people, then why not!?

Also, listening to the kind of results that people have achieved on Blackhatworld using methods likes this makes me very keen to give it a run.

I guess if it's shite, at least I'll know for future reference.

Could be the badger update, after all they're currently being culled the sh*t out of and that's what google likes to do to sites.

I like your analogy "crap ---> shite ---> balls ---> yourwebsite = win!!" ... haha

Yes, I would rather do that as well. But that's slower and I want it ALL.. .NOW! and fantastic content isn't always as fast as I'd like, especially on a site that's in the google trough at the moment.

True...

One reason I like the tiered links idea is that if it goes wrong, then you can cut the ties on those 10 links or so links relatively easy. You may do a bit of damage, but I've heard some good feedback from this kind of scheme - obviously I wouldn't do it on a client's site, but I am tempted to "give it a whirl" on some of my domains which could do with a bit of a lift.

ha, yeah, I doubt the content is anything near "beautiful", although I have to admire their marketing for actually using that word, especially for what will be undoubtedly spun articles.

It's more the tiered aspect I'm interested in. If I knew their tiered structures and methods were good (obviously in black hat terms) and got results, then it's worth it.

Tom,

I appreciate your views. Admittedly their advertising seems aimed at people who are unsure of how SEO works or who have a limited understanding, however tiered link building can work in the right place.

I was curious as to whether their tiered service was actually any good or not.

Thanks

Has anyone used the tiered link building service offered by seolutions (http://seolutions.biz/store/seo-solutions/premium-solutions-paint-it-white.html)?

If so, can you provide any insight into how effective it was in the long and short term?

Thanks!

No problem Don, glad it worked - good luck!

If the "static page" you are referring to is your blog page then you can just use the tag each post to specify where you want the summary to end on the blog page.

David - Thanks for your reply - to be honest, even though it is pretty simple to do, I don't want the hassle of even having to open a PDF up and would rather the reports were all branded up as soon as they were emailed.

I'm considering moving up to a higher subscription level as it is, but if this functionality is part of the parcel, then it will be much more convincing for me.

Quick Q:

Do Pro Plus/Elite memberships allow you to setup different report branding for each campaign? Say for example I wanted one campaign to be branded with the logos of an agency I was doing work for and another to have my logos on. Or is there just a single general branding option that covers all campaigns?

Thanks.

ok, I'll probably seek out any pages with the chance of link juice and get those re-directed to the root.

Anything which is utterly pointless or too rubbish to care about, I think I'll let die.

Thanks again

Hi Paul,

Yes, that's where my thoughts were heading - it's nice to get confirmation

A 410 code?... interesting. I hadn't considered that

Thanks

Hi Tom,

thanks for the reply.

Do you think it's fine to re-direct them all to the blog's root page?

The concern I have is that, there's probably about 100 pages and I won't be re-directing to a page which is really relevant to the original. I don't want it to appear manipulative in anyway.

Hi fellow Mozzers,

I've recently re-released a site and also took the opportunity to change/clean up the URL structure. As a result of this Google is starting to report many 404s such as below;

blog/tag/get-fit/

blog/tag/top-presents/

Most of these 404 errors are from tag or category pages which simply don't exist any more (because they were unnecessary, crap or irrelevant). Although there's also a few posts I've removed.

My question is whether it's worth redirecting all these tags and pages to the root directory of the site's new blog (as there isn't really a new page which is similar or appropriate) or just to leave them as 404 errors. Bearing in mind;

1. They don't really rank for anything

2. There's little if any links pointing to these pages

Thanks.
