All In One SEO plug in for WP configurations

I need some insight and recommendations on how I should set the below settings in the All In One SEO plugin for WP:

Use noindex for Categories:
Use noindex for Archives:
Use noindex for Tag Archives:

Thanks in advance!

 

Frankly, I think you'd be better off blocking them via your robots.txt file than using the plugin to do this.

 

can I get the link to the All In One SEO plug in for WP

a dan good to see you

 

Right here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

 

thanks for the link referal green light go on check user cp

 

when you down load the seo pack how do you plug in??/ any comments??""""""""""

 

The same way you install any other plugin. FTP to your wp-contents/plugins/ folder, then activate in the control panel.

 

Hey Dan Thanks for your reply. Im kinda a newbie to WP. Can you please shed some light on how to block via robots.txt. Also which do you recommend I block?

 

indexthis
can you give me clue as how to plug in that tool you are using for these bloggs sleekbusiness.com and blogurple.com im not fimiliar although I own two word press blogs plese help"" I never pluged in at all""

 

pm me for the plugin

 

If you don't need the all-in-one plugin for rewriting titles, have a look at the Meta Robots plugin from Jost de Valk (sorry, can't post links so far)

It's alot more flexible and gives you more control, plus it let's you exclude certain wordpress system files you don't want indexed as well.

 

It is weird you ask. Do you want to rank for the keywords your categories handle or no? Are your categories displaying excerpts or full posts (duplicate content issue might raise if displaying full posts).

For example, I want to rank for my category keywords and hence I don't block the categories, but I do block tags and archives. Honestly, it is up to you what you want to do with your blog.

 

this was never problem with my blogger sites. categories brings most traffic to me

 

I agree above I have many categories in my blogs plus high rlevating domains linked to each category

 

why no index for tags and categories? tag and category pages can get traffic from Google.

 

The "WordPress SEO Checklist" link in my signature will show you how.

The combination of the All In One SEO Pack and a robots.txt file will take care of all that, and so much more. Also remember that the fewer plugins you're running, the better off the system performance will be overall.

I was specifically referring to blog.com/category/blog-category/blog-entry though you do raise an interesting point.

You mean tags and archives? Two words: Duplicate Content

 

in reference to (The combination of the All In One SEO Pack and a robots.txt file will take care of all that, and so much more. Also remember that the fewer plugins you're running, the better off the system performance will be overall.)
I agree but can I first get this plugin to load up on my blogs???

 

When you have additional tag pages that are indexed by Google you not only have a duplicate content problem but you are not carving out a clear and defined path to your content. Therefore I do not recommend it. I nofollow all of my archive pages, tag pages, category pages, search results pages, rss feed pages and a whole bunch more to avoid getting penalized by Google for duplicate content.

 

hmmmmmmm nice thought above .... I have duped contentt all over the dam place and still get ranks in google... the dup stuff if not as important.. you an do some but not to much ..... peace out and fairwell to Dan Shulz....

 

I use all in one seo Plugin
but, i still get the result and my traffic not increase

Please give me advice about that
