Does anyone have any idea about the performance of Yoast WordPress SEO?? It is an automatic tool for SEO. Can anyone give me its reviews????
You still need to fill things out but its a bit better than all in one SEO pack. Those folks are pretty well known in the SEO space for making good plugins. They have a range of really useful things for magento as well. Nigel
Dear Ats, I consider Yoast to be the best SEO plugin for wordpress. Here are my reasons. I installed SEO ultimate. I discovered in wassup, i had always the same old deprecated URL coming back. I didn't understand why. I checked my logs. I discovered it was full of 302 redirect (temporarily redirect) rather than 301 redirect (permanent redirect). I am convinced SEO ultimate killed my Google indexing. I uninstalled SEO ultimate and installed Yoast. All 302 redirect vanished in a blink of an eye but now in webmaster tool, i see old URL from 10 month ago, coming back in the not found section of crawl error. I suggest that everybody who installed SEO ultimate checks his log. I also think that Yoast is the only wordpress plugin with a nofollow tag for FEED. In Seo ultimate there is no such a thing. However, if you look at the code of Wordpress feed (using chrome) you will discover the link are equal to "my domain.com/?p=231" Just like the default Url form in wordpress. Yes there are no permalink in the Feed and i guess it is not good for googlebot.
that is something i recommend. that is like basically the only plugin i use. It will make life easier.
I recommend you to choose Yoast because I had a bad experience with All in one SEO. After I activated all in one SEO, my impressions dropped down to zero from one day to another!! Their techical support is for payed version only which I consider is a wrong strategy.
Yoast is a fantastic resource for SEO -Joost the owner is a wordpress SEO guru - His plugins are great! Over 7 MILLION downloads of his 2 main plugins - pretty cool. Yoast also imports ALL in one settings, if you are using that plugin, just deactivate it, install this plugin and import the settings. Highly recommended.
Yoast is my favorite if for no other reason than it incorporates some features that you'd need more plugins for, thus slowing down your site. A couple examples are the built in XML feed generator and the tab that shows you how you can improve your on-page SEO kind of like SEOPressor does, but free. Very nice plugin.
i haven't tabled with any other wordpress plugin other than Yoasts. and i was quite impressed with it.
