All in One SEO Plugin Problem

Warriors,

I've been using All in One SEO for well over a year now and have never had problems. I was wondering why I wasn't receiving any long tail keywords for my newest site, so I began researching this. Google is finding my pages with the same meta tags as my home page and isn't indexing my meta description for each individual post. Of course, the end result is the only way people are finding my site is through the home page.

The reason I'm emailing about this problem is because I see other people are having this same problem and All in One SEO hasn't been replying to their support for this problem lately.

Any suggestions? The only thing I think it could possibly be is on the main page, I clicked the button that says disable all in one for this page/post, but I don't think that would of disabled all of the metas for every post.

    You have to define your keywords/tags for each post, below the editor.

    If you don't define these, you will simply get the blog default.

    All in one SEO is not "autopilot", you still have to put in the metadata where required. It just adds some seo tools beyond what wordpress has by default.

      Thank you Eric. I did this already though when I started building the site.

      I have 13 post on this wordpress site and every post I have different meta tags and meta descriptions. They've always worked great and I've had lots of success with this several times, but for some reason it's not working the way it suppose to.

        Use Firefox to view your posts page source and see if the data is showing.

        If it is, then the SE's just haven't got around to updating it yet.

          Thanks for your advice...

          I used firefox and type in site: http:/ / mywebaddress.com

          Then I see that google has indexed a few of my posts.

          The problem is they come out like this:

          da yada
          You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. ...

          and...

          da yada
          Oct 13, 2009 ... More About yada yada Comments: You can leave

          In other words, all the posts have the same meta tags and isn't adding my meta descriptions.

    Go to the All-in-one-SEO set up page and make sure that the radio button next to Enabled is checked - the first setting.

    Everytime the All-in-one is updated it automatically disables itself, so you need to actually go back and enable it after every upgrade.

    Cheers,

    Martin.

      After looking deeper, I am finding posts on google with the meta description, but
      it's weird because the blog title stays the same for every post.

      Wordpress just had an upgrade, so I just upgraded it today. Hopefully that will help.

      I always make sure that enable button is on because I've actually made this mistake in the past...

        Sounds like you need to modify your permalinks. To something like this:



        That should put your post title's into the html structure. I hope that is what you are aiming for.

    Make sure your AIO settings further down the settings page include %post_title% | %blog_title% (or just %post_title% if you prefer).

    Cheers,

      All of this is excellent advice, thank you everyone.

      I've actually done all of the things that have been mentioned. My only guess now is there may be something wrong with the theme I'm using, or somehow this will fix itself...

        Martin,

        I looked at my post and page format like you suggested and that's where the problem was. I was up very late building this site and the adjustments that I always make on this page was wrong. I'm sure that'll clear up the problem.

        Thank you everybody! Warrior Forum is the best...

    Did you actually check the source code of your post pages? That would show you the output of the SEO plugin.

    You can do this by using View - Source Code from the menu of your browser.

    Then look for the meta tags for the description and the title. this is what usually goes to google listings.

    Looks like this:

    title>Your title shows up here</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Your description shows up here." />
