First of all, please excuse me for my worst english. I started to build my blog with Wordpress after registering domain and configuring permalinks. Here is the content of my Blog: 524 single posts 508 user comments 15 pages 21 categories 1089 tags Unfotunatelly i had not great knowladge about wordpress so i did not install the All in Seo plugin. Now my site has 2,500-3000 %90 google organic and %10 direct hit. Google indexed around 2300+ pages. The Question is: What will happen if i install the All in Seo plugin today? It will cause sandbox, lost the place on searchs, lost indexes or something else? If it will effect my blog, how long will it take? for a week? month? or more? Or nothing will happen and it will effect my blog to get higher place on searchs and get more visitors from google? Again, please excuse me for my worst english and also if this is a noobish question. I have not so great knowladge about SEO. thanks a lot.
The question is: do you need it? Looks like you are making it fair well. Yes, there is a risk. As far as i can understand your links will be broken and that is no good. Maybe some modification to the plugin can allow to maintain compatibility to actual urls, but dunno.
Hi yenerich, All in Seo plugin does not effect on URLs. My urls will stay. all in Seo plugin will add Meta tags on my blog pages. I just wanted to know that how will these changes effect my results on google searchs.
it will be fine, and should just work even better unless you change your permalinks at the same time. if youre planning to do that, use Platinum SEO instead of All-in-One because it will now automatically create 301's to account for permalink changes. its got more features anyway, it seems pretty good.
For more info: i am planning to keep my permalinks stay. I just want to add Meta tags such as "meta content" "meta keywords" etc. and my page titles are like "Sitename.com >> Google seo knowladge", so i would like to change it to this kind, "Google seo knowladge - Sitename.com". How will it effect my hits? and how long will it take?
Yes, you are right, sorry. But it changes the title , post title, etc. I will not affect much i guess.
The SEO plugins, like the ones offered on Wordpress blog can be great to choose when you are going to have a blog and maintain that in a professional way; updating it regularly and also adding links to that from quality resources and in that case the SE friendly URLs can be useful to have.
sure, but what if i install all in seo plugin to a 3 months year old and 2300+ pages indexed blog. That will add meta descs, meta keywords to all single pages and also will change titles of the pages. will this effect me so strong? will my blog lost organic google visitors for 1 week? for 1 month? or forever?
for info: i installed All in Seo plugin. I will write meta desc, not keep it automatic. plugin will add keywords. i also changed titles. I hope my blog will get better success. I will write again feedbacks about results. thank you guys.
It depends on your setting. All in one seo will not effect on your URL *BUT* it will effect on these criterias 1. Title, Meta description and meta keywords for each page 2. The way that Googlebot crawl your site (default setting is to not index on "category" and "archive") 3. The plugin has option to set homepage title separate from other parts of the site. If you set it then it might change site ranking temporarily. I recommend you to use it but keep your old homepage title and meta description.
