Hello everyone, Ok, so it is not one question, but probably a coupla or three questions (at the mean time) regarding the all in one seo plugin for wordpress: 1- I am already using the post title macros in wordpress, to make my post urls display the post titles. Can this be any more better using the plugin, or should I keep the rewrite box unchecked as it is now? 2- What exactly happens when checking the autogenerate descriptions option? is it for posts, pages, ...? 3- Additional post meta tags and additional pages meta tags... how can we determine these if each post and page is individual and around separate topics? I don't think it is wise to use a selected keywords or phrases to use for all the posts together or all the pages together, as each one is independent... correct me if I'm wrong.
If you're going to use the All In One SEO Pack, you won't need the macros. And personally, I'd use the plugin to create a title that's slightly different than the URL structure anyway (mainly for keyword diversity reasons). The auto-generator will search your page/post for what it believes to be the most relevant content on the page/post to create your description for you. I obviously recommend that you not use this, but instead write your own descriptions that will not only perfectly describe the page/post, but also make searchers want to "click that link". The plugin will also create the meta description and keywords tags for you, so if you have them hard-coded into your theme's header.php file remove them.
Isn't the title gonna be the same as the URL structure? I mean, when I publish my posts, the post title becomes the one used in the url because of my wordpress permalink macro settings. How would you benefit from variations with All-In-One-SEO? Could you please explain?
You can change the title within the page without having it use the same URL structure as the page/post URL. If you look below the textarea where you type your page/post content, you'll see the form for the SEO pack. The top input has the title field. THAT is where you would put your custom title in, then use the "Post (or Page) Slug" on the right sidebar to create the file name for the page/post.
If I don't use the post/page slug in the right sidebar, would the default always gonna be the main post title?
Thanks for the help Dan!... I now know how the features of this plugin work! It'd take some time though, for the serps to update re-edited old posts using this plugin.
Thanks for the link digimaya... I'm doing fine with it now, though I know there is still much more to this plugin than I'm using....
