I re-enabled and was seeing it work properly on google chrome but when I go to post for example in facebook as an attached link I still get "just another wordpress".

This way, it allows the BF theme to dynamically create keywords on each of the pages. Be sure to add Tags to each of your posts to improve keyword density - those are pulled in as well from the content. Meta Tag Manger works well when you need to meta tags for Google, Yahoo, and Bing's site verification. And it's independent from other plugins.</p> <p>I've never had performance issues with installing multiple plugins on the BigFeature theme. So that could be an unrelated issue with your domain hosting. In that case, install GZippy and it'll help speed things up. Be sure to temporarily disable GZippy when upgrading plugins. Once they're installed, activate it again. It's a little buggy. Hope that helps. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/is-too-many-seo-plugins-bad#post-4107 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 18:48:07 +0000 oxford.comma 4107@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>So, I'm approaching the final steps of finishing my website for its relaunch (switching from blogger to self-hosted wordpress). And I'm a little overwhelmed and perplexed about all the SEO stuff.</p> <p>To be honest, I've done very well with SEO as far as using blogger goes, but I know that because I am relaunching the site on a different platform that it's important to do all I can to save my site from loosing any juice and dropping in page rank.</p> <p>So with that said, I know that there is a built in SEO pack, but I've searched the net for the past days and read several articles about the best SEO packs for wordpress. And on average people point you to these:</p> <p>1. <strong>All in SEO Pack</strong> (<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/</a>)<br /> 2. <strong>Robots Meta</strong> (<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/robots-meta/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/robots-meta/</a>)<br /> 3. <strong>Headspace 2 </strong>(<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/headspace2/screenshots/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/headspace2/screenshots/</a>)<br /> <em>(and WP Seo Sniper (but it cost $100, so we won't include that))<br /> </em></p> <p>Then they also recommend stuff like <em>Redirection</em> and <em>Yeast Crumbbreads</em> (or whatever its called), but those I already had installed.</p> <p>Okay, so my question is what effect will activating all three plugins have on the Big Feature theme? Will it slow it down? Can it cancel each other out? How much is too much...</p> <p>And has anyone had great success with using any of these or was only using the built-in SEO tools the best option?</p> <p>Thanks so much in advanced!</p> <p>PS- I'm also curious to know which SEO plugin would override the others? For example the All in One SEO Pack has some of the same features as the built in SEO functions, so if I set both of their lets say "meta tag keyords" which meta keywords would be the one google and other search engines would use? What would be the effects of having them both set? </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/theme-settings-for-blog-meta-description-seo-and-keywords-have-no-effect#post-3448 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:34:22 +0000 vfxdude 3448@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>answered <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/seo-plugin-or-seo-options-of-bigfeature#post-3447">here</a>. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/theme-settings-for-blog-meta-description-seo-and-keywords-have-no-effect#post-3438 Sun, 15 Aug 2010 04:21:10 +0000 kurtp 3438@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>The slider image on my site using BigFeature doesn't have an alt component.

If you want to change it you can do so in theme-functions.php (in library/functions). Search for "h2 class" and remove the "|| is_page()" on the line above. This sets the sitename to H1 on all pages, but not on the single article view. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/search-engine-optimizing-h1-header-tags#post-1906 Sat, 03 Apr 2010 11:37:39 +0000 Contemporu 1906@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>True, I understand that hidden things to "cheat" might not be the best way to go.</p> <p>However, even if I "show the sitename" in theme settings, it still does not put it in H1 tags for me on my site homepage. (It does not give H1 tags for my blog frontpage either).</p> <p>You can view the source code of my site here:<br /> <a href="http://theinternetmarketingtools.com/" rel="nofollow">http://theinternetmarketingtools.com/</a> (that's my site homepage)<br /> <a href="http://theinternetmarketingtools.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://theinternetmarketingtools.com/blog/</a> (my blog frontpage)</p> <p>I've "showed the sitename" as you can see this time, but still no H1 tags for either page.</p> <p>And as far as the blog frontpage goes for SEO...well, you can SEO any page for any keyword. So while people may discover the relevant articles with long saturated keywords, it will probably be the single post view for those articles that are SEO-d for those keywords.</p> <p>But if I also want my blog frontpage to be SEO-d for a particular keyword, it helps to have that keyword in H1 tags on the blog frontpage.</p> <p><strong>I would like both my site homepage and my blog homepage to have H1 tags for my site name.</p> <p>Can you show me how to do that? Thanks!</strong> </p>
