Wordpress Problems with Bad Output for SEO

    I've noticed when checking my wordpress pages that a very high keyword is 8211, 8212, 8217 and more. These are all numbers referring to stuff like dashes, double dashes, etc. and things you actually typed into the editor in wordpress. In making them into html equivalents, Google potentially sees this as numbers. Is it something to worry about? I notice other pages pass stuff like the seobook keyword density tool fine but none of them are for wordpress generated pages which cause this problem.

    Choose the fifth example - "midweek" and you'll see that in google the html is broken and in the article in a browser it appears fine. This is very bad. Not sure what to do but this makes a serious wordpress issue for seo.

    This is a serious problem. Apparently Wordpress blogs put in tons of replacements that Google seems to not to read properly. I'm shocked nobody else has discovered this problem and I've only found 3-4 articles on this and no solutions that plague wordpress terribly.
