On behalf of MisterE (it was his idea) and everybody participating in the Floating FAQ, thanks for the kind words. But most importantly of all, thanks for the great suggestion. Despite my research and hunting, I never came across this plugin... and it looks like exactly what we've all been looking for!

Outstanding!!!

I like Statpress

Will McKay

Floating FAQ suggestion:

Would it be possible for someone to add in all relevant links to the LPN download page,videos and any other related material?

With the whole thing being license protected I shouldn't think this would be a problem, or would it?

The reason I ask is that I haven't been following this thread for a number of days so I was a bit surprised to find an update available while in the plugins section of my site. I don't recall receiving an email notifying me of the update and by updating automatically from WP I have no idea where to find any new videos/info on the changes made in the new release.

Say it can be done.

Statpress is awesome, the real-time visitor tracking arouses me.

LPN BEST PRACTICES FLOATING "FAQ"

ADD TO IT AND HELP EVERYONE (BUT READ FIRST, PLEASE!).

This was originated by MisterE and it's still "his baby." I (Big Hombre) have truncated some of his original post on the whys of this. If you want to see that, consult post #1582.

Everyone is free (and encouraged) to add to the Floating FAQ with posts or portions thereof that you think should be here. Use the multi-quote tool or cut-and-paste. Either way, select the info you've posted and hit the BOLD B for easier reference to the info.

The important stuff.

In order for this to work, you must find the last posting of this BEST PRACTICES post to quote and add to. Otherwise it will end as nothing more than SPAM!

YOU MUST DELETE THE QUOTE TAGS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PREVIOUS POST AND THE END OF THE PREVIOUS POST! BEFORE POSTING YOUR INFO!

THEY LOOK LIKE THIS: [/QUOT E] & [QUOT E=MisterE;4411581]


#1 Subprime1:
I seem to remember earlier mentions of duplicate post issues found they were caused by improper use of {shortcodes}.

With the original plugin this could happen by calling { City} instead of {city}.

With the updated version I think some have had it happen when they named a shortcode using the "{ }" symbols. You should name the shortcodes without using "{ }" symbols. Only use those symbols in the text/html/copy of the post/page you are publishing.


#2 Big Hombre
Hey everybody. I discovered two different rank tracking plugins for Wordpress. I'm surprised nobody is talking about them. I will be trying one or both out shortly, but I thought I'd give a head's up to everybody here since it seems like this is now a real issue for all of us.

Many of the tools mentioned here are good (if not great), but some are very expensive and most require you to boot up an app and go back and forth between your site(s) and the tool. What's really cool about these plugins is the promise of making the job a lot easier. You can work right from within WP—to which I say "COOL!"

Website Rank Tracker
Free for 5 keywords. $14.95/mo. after that. Looks powerful but haven't tried.

Rank Tracker Plugin
This is a $29 plugin, but it's got what looks like some killer features (not to mention testimonials). Unfortunately, is a "passive" plugin. It only tracks pages that are getting traffic, so this is not much help with a new blog.


MontyPlums suggested:
Gonna chime in here with another Rank Tracker plugin that I currently use.

SEO Rank Reporter

(This may be the WP plugin we're all looking for. It's free and tracks/graphs your Google rankings on a 3 day basis. —Big Hombre)



#3 Jody_W
SEOBook.com also has a nice Firefox addon, which is also free: Keyword Rank Checking Software & Rank Tracker Tools: SEO Book.com

What I like about it is that you just load up your domain name and your keywords and it does the rest. You don't have to deal with the individual pages. It returns the url for any pages that are ranking for the particular keyword.


#4 Big Hombre
Quoting myself here not because I'm necessarily in love with my own ideas (really!), but because others seemed to find the following helpful.

The strategy I'm currently following is to:

A) Create Categories and Posts around my main and general keywords to give the site some permanent "weight", e.g. "plumbing," "plumbing in los angeles," "plumbing services la", etc. Let keyword volume and common sense be your guide.

B) Create Pages using LPN for main keyword + local neighborhoods/cities: e.g. "plumber los angeles," "plumber hollywood," "plumber beverly hills," etc.

C) Create Pages using LPN around narrow niches: e.g. "unclog sink los angeles." This assumes (having not done any KW research for this) that there is some volume of traffic (either in general or specific to the city) for "unclog sink."

If you do this, you'll cover all the bases and look like an authority site. But bear in mind, I'm new to this plugin, so I can't speak from great authority as to whether this is a good strategy. It seems to be in line with what Jeremy et all are recommending. Your results will undoubtedly vary.


#5 Jeremy Kelsall
(Should probably be #1)

There are several ways to monetize...

You can sell advertising space

You can sell the sites to local businesses

You can set the sites up and broker leads

you can set the sites up, and once they start to rank, put adsense on them.

you can set the sites up, and then use something like our core conversions plugin to display some sort of CPA offer

You can use the results as an "in" to get consulting and SEO work from local business.

You can "rent or lease" the sites

...and that's just off the top of my head...

OK Warriors, the next Floating Faqs are compiled from the first 5 pages:

opportunex:
Does the plugin work with cities in the UK?
Absolutely, if you can create a page or post and you know which cities you want to target then there's nothing stopping it from working.

It really is super simple to use and it works in any area.

Cedricl:
I understand it works for any country. Does it also work for other languages (non English)
It should. Like I said earlier, if you can create a page or post and know which cities you are targeting then the plugin will do it's job.

MisterE:
Free updates for the life of the product?
Yes, Andres is the developer, and as you can see, he is very passionate about the plugin, and uses it in his daily day to day business, so it will be kept up to date.

Elis:
can it wotk with only WP sites?
Yes, it's a wordpress plugin

Helecis:
Are we limited to using All In One SEO?

It should work with any SEO plugin as long as you can input the title, description, and keywords on the page or post you're working on.

rgkweebiz:
If I'm leasing sites on domains that I own, and not flipping them, will the personal use license suffice or will I need the developer's license?

If it is all being done on your own domains, you are good with the regular license.

Donp:
will you have a way for someone to upgrade to the developers license at a later date if needed?

Shoot us a message if you want to upgrade at a later date, but you would need to pay the difference calculated to what the price is at
THAT time....

Manhattan mortgage:
Can you add pages vs posts, use both or just posts?

Works with both pages and posts.

Melody:
where's a good place to swipe a list of 'clean' city names or do you have resource in the file?

I get my lists from wikipedia. Google the state or metro area.

Vrs:
I didn't see a money back guarantee. Is there one?

As with all of our products, refunds are handled on a case to case basis.

if you send me an email that simply says "refund" - my answer back is "NO".

if you have a legitimate problem, or can't get the plugin to function, we will of course give your money back.

GraemeHawley:
Seen at least 2 people ask about duplicate content being an issue, and you don't seem to of answered the question, so can you please explain why you wont get hit for duplicate content using this method?

both of the example sites that we used have dupe content - the ranking report that andreas showed that he gave to his client a few months ago, uses dupe content - It's a non-issue.

Most of your local directory/listing type sites for the most part are created with dupe content, and they routinely rank on the first page, and stay there.

Kasida:
It would really help to see video showing how the plugin works. It would have been much easier to understand. Any chances for that?

The plugin is both a TOOL and a METHOD all in one, so showing a video of exactly what the plugin is, does, and why it works, is kind of giving away the farm.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but "how" it works isn't as important to me as....as long as it works

Your not spamming anyone
your not violating any TOS
Your playing by the rules, and being rewarded for it - The plugin just condenses hours and hours of work down to a few minutes, and gives you results faster than you would ever see yourself in scale.

Dark witness:
so am i right in thinking you don't really need to do any of the other usual seo stuff to get a good rank with this plugin?

Every situation is different, but in the dentist example in the OP, the only thing that I did was ping the site and submit it to a few social bookmarking sites to get it indexed.

Zerofill (Don):
Anyone looking for U.S. cities... and there may be a few countries in there but mainly should all be U.S. cities you can use this thing I made that we use.

U.S. Cities

You can just copy and paste right form there...

AussieT:
Jeremy in the video you mentioned that you are using the "Yet Another Related Post Plugin"
Is this also needed for your plugin to work fully?

I don't think that it's "needed" - But, I use it to help get all the pages indexed etc when the spiders hit

Drhook:
Jeremy will this work with sub-domain name or do we have to use main domain

Andres replied: I've tested it on a subdomain and it works just as well.

Mlbs:
it says on plugin to create draft post but do not publish this ??

You don't publish because the plugin takes care of that for you.

Kcseke:
Do you have to use cities in the city tag or can you use neighborhoods in a city instead? Thanks.

You can use neighborhoods, it's really up to you how you want to target it.

Or you can load up a list of cities AND neighborhoods.

Mtntgr:
white
gray
black hat?

COMPLETELY WHITE HAT...nothing gray, black, or any other color about this

Dubhlinn:
How would i go about adding phone numbers like the skype icon etc to individual pages. Can i do this manually as pages begin to rank? I could offer to place separate numbers on these pages for multiple rental pages.

You can do it manually, just edit the individual page and make whatever modifications you need to make.

Palpatine:
I don't use all-in-one plugin either, but do you know if this works with the Genesis Framework and child themes? I can input the custom title and description underneath the actual post or page content in the admin panel, I think you mentioned that somewhere in this thread, but I definitely prefer Genesis without the all-in-one SEO plugin or ANY SEO plugin for that matter.

It does work with the Genesis framework. It pretty much with any custom fields that are available when you are setting up the page or post.

Dubhlinn:
Also i dont think that the posts look great if i try to sell to one client #example one post after another after another scrolling down the page.

Go into "Settings" => "Reading" and change the default "Blog pages show at most" from 10 to 1 to take care of that.

Quote:
dubhlinn:
I think it would look a lot better if we used individual pages. If we do individual pages is there a way to hide them from the nav bar so we don't have a mess of 50 + page names

Use a free plugin called "Exclude Pages from Navigation" it provides a checkbox on the editing page which you can check to exclude pages from the primary navigation.

Pages 6 through 10:

Markiz:
How the posts are being built? On the fly?

If I understand your question right, Yes!

Morpheus26:
Just to clarify. What this plugin does is change a city name in the title content and so on and create a seperate post or page for each city I add in a list? Is that correct?
So the pages only differ in the city name, everything else is the same. After the plugin created these pages I can manually change things in these pages?
Does the plugin do this for all pages setup or can I say I want this behaviour only on my contact page for example?

Yes that's correct and after the pages are created, you do have to option to go in and change whatever you want manually.
The plugin will automatically do it for the pages that have the placeholder anywhere in the content. If the placeholder is not there then the plugin won't mess with it.

Catgirl07:
Will this only work for "your niche + city" keyword domains.
Was wondering if it would work for any domain eg Joesplumbing.com?

Will work with any domain.

Bostoncitymass:
When adding the plugins (all in one seo, yet another related, etc.) anything in particular we should do with the configuring? I have a few standard tweaks I usually make but for the most part I don't change much. Wondering what your opinions/suggestions are.

Nothing other than the standard setup.

Edc3076:
I use thesis framework, how is this going to react inside thesis? thank you

Andres Replied - I've tested in multiple themes with no issues really. The only thing I noticed is that if your theme automatically creates the menu from the pages in the site, then you would need to use the Exclude pages plugin so that you can prevent a multitude of pages being added to the navbar.

If you use a custom menu, then you don't have to worry about that.

Jaycar:
I just bought your Local Ninja Plug In and I cannot seem to install it. It keeps saying that this plug in does not have a valid header. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Need to unzip the initial zip file you download. Once you extract it... there is another zip file inside along with the video. That zip file is the one you install.

Onecrackedegg Added -
Unzip the downloaded file and you will see 3 items inside:
READ-ME-FIRST.txt
plugininstructions.wmv
localpagesninja.zip

Upload the localpagesninja.zip in your wordpress install (that is the actual plugin) and it should work.

Just an FYI....

So, if you ask a question and we don't answer right away, you're not being ignored, well get you taken care of as soon as we roll out of bed.


zerofill on version 1.5/1.51
The plugin is basically a total rewrite over the original version and works much better.

1) You can use spinner syntax

2) You generate posts/pages from drafts you save by actually telling it to generate posts by pressing a button (no more auto save headaches etc...)

3) You can choose the number of posts/pages to generate or you can let it generate the total in the list of the shortcodes.

4) Yes I said shortcode(s)... You can create multiple custom shortcodes.

5) You can delete all posts or pages based off of a specific draft

6) You can update a draft and generate more pages based off the update to the draft.

7) When you delete posts you no longer have to delete the draft. But it will delete all posts or pages created using the draft you have selected at the time.

All the information will be in the video... You will need a license key to activate the plugin.

When you change over to the new plugin... Deactivate the old one... and then click delete.

Upload the new plugin and activate it.

You will then need to go to the licensing page and enter your key.

The information on where to get the key... etc... will be released when the video and update are here in a few...

Suggested a great new rank tracking plugin. See #2 above.

Is there a reason that Support Desk, here and on the thread replies to questions seem to have stopped?

I have been trying to get some clarification about the plugin will spin content and if so how... I was under the impression that was one of the reasons for the 1.51 update..


I see that you can use syntax in posts but would an update have been required for that? Something isn't connecting and I hope the authores of the plufgin will resumke communication this morning

If you don't mind sharing, what theme are you using for the limo site? It looks very clean.

Rick

maeldk

Anyone care to tell me how they do 100 posts, then another 100 posts? I can only do that if I change the shortcode.

Carlsbadd

you can use the "404 to go" plug in to redirect your 404 error pages.

Has anyone had a problem with the building post?

I saved the draft, built my post and now I have a number 3 at the end of the permalink? Tried deleting the build and doing a re-build... And still there?

Also I'm building ten {city}'s as I'm still testing, so I don't think I'm overloading it.

Well I guess that's one way to put numbers back in wordpress permalinks...

Thanks in advance!

latinguy20

Try switching to a basic theme like the Twenty Ten, build your posts, then when you're all back, switch back to the one you want to use.

I have to do this with a site right now where the theme is not cooperating and it seems to be working doing it that way.

The download with the video can be found at:

http://www.localpageninja.com

I replied a few posts above. The plugin does not do the spinning for you. There's a lot of spinners out there. We added this function because of all the requests we received for people wanting it but it's not needed at all and I'm personally not going to use that feature.

You can have multiple shortcodes. So for example you have city, city1, city2

So you make your first draft page and use {city}.

Then you can use the plugin "Duplicate Post" and duplicate that post and just change {city} to {city1} and do the same for {city2}, etc.


-Andres Tobar

latinguy20

How are your permalinks setup?

Also make sure you are including the shortcode in the title of the post or else all 10 posts will have the same title, hence the -3

Finally, make sure in the draft inside Local Pages, that the permalink shown on that page does not have a -3 attached to it.

Andres Tobar

jagreen78

Could I install the plugin, load my cities, create a draft, let the plugin create all of my posts and then remove the plugin?

latinguy20

Yes, once they pages/posts are built, removing the plugin will not do anything to them.

-Andres

jeffbell

1) Permalinks: /%category%/%post%/
2) Got it
3) Did it...

I love a good challenge, but today... Not so much.

Any other ideas? I'm going to delete the post/draft and start a new and see what happens...

All though, one of my builds/update after a delete, I did change categories, which is my third category, but the id says 19 ? Go figure...

Thanks for your time

maeldk

I think I got the answer for that one. Its due to trashed drafts with same name in title. Go to your trashcan and delete the drafts in there.

Btw. I had some trubble with spinning and UTF-8. Regardless of posting in in Notepad ++ and removing/replacing the wrong characters I would get problems. First {city} for first draft would be ok, so would second and third. But for my 4th draft and {city4} some UTF-8? or is it in fact ANSI code would be included.. thats eventhou I dublicated the drafts that where working fine..

Now I use Wordspinner and its now working

mrmatt

I am sure this has already been asked but going through 34 pages of posts will kill me plus I am sure this is a dumb question.

Do you need to make a new post or page for every keyword you want to go after?

deltamatrix

I would say you should go back to the basics and figure out what works and what doesn't. Use a very basic WP theme, a short simple post without any spinning, and only 1 or 2 shortcodes. Publish only a couple posts to test it out and see what works. Maybe try deactivating un-needed plugins to see if that helps.

Get a very basic system working first and then add the bling and test again. Just a couple posts every time until you have it all sorted out. Then once you are happy with the output and everything works, go ahead and start pumping out lots of posts. Of course you'll check those final posts for quality as well.

jeffbell

I think there's something to be said about deleting trash between doing a new build on an draft that has been edited. Because before I took out the trash, the number on the end of the permalink went to four. So I think it was counting my resaved drafts, regardless of deleting my builds. Hope this helps future improvements.

Seems to be working now, thanks for the quick reply!

Jeff

Jeremy Kelsall

1. to get a new site into google places you pretty much have to have a website on the first page. (it helps a lot)

2. Not all traffic goes to google places. many searches want more than just an address and phone number.

3. showing first page rankings is a great way to get a clients trust automatically as far as your skills go.

4. There isn't a point.

uthrive

Hi can anybody out there help
The very first time i used the plugin i set it up as described exactly .No problem at all with pages( 300)first site

I am now on my second site exactly the same setup as before and nothing is going right i have spent hours and hours on it.I put the placeholders in the page as before but it's not drawing the cities into the pages.without placing the amount of pages in the box only one appears and when i do put in an amount they all come out identicley the same without the placeholders cities added I've reinstalled several times right from the beginning but nothing helps. i've gone through all the videos over and over but i can't see whats happening is there anybody having the same problems or no what i may be doing wrong

Wait till google reindexes your new pages with the exact same URLs. Also install the plugin someone else suggested: "404 to go" plugin to redirect missing pages.

Hey Jeremy
You guys built race car... Did you ever think of putting in a kill switch?
Cause it sucks when you know your going to hit the wall... And you have no brakes.

Just tested Hostmonster... Roughly 726 out of 880 cities not bad, just wanted to know the limitations
Now I gotta cleanup the mess, this was only a test

Love this tool!

latinguy20

It sounds like there's brackets in the name of the shortcode.

Go under shortcodes and make sure in the name section, you haven't put in any brackets. So if you have {city}, just take out the brackets and leave it as city.

The brackets are only used in the actual content of the draft page/post.

-Andres

Thank you very much latinguy20 i am putting in the brackets I'll trace it back and see what happens

I think this was the one recommended:

Try disabling that wassup plugin and see if that fixes it. I think it's either a plugin that's conflicting or the theme itself.

If the wassup is not it, active the basic twenty ten theme and see what that does.

Yes it's 404 to start.

Purchased the plugin and getting ready to launch. Very excited to get things going, but before I do, I'd like to know if the WP Super Cache plugin is compatible? Is anyone using it with LPN?

I've used Super Cache on all my sites with much success.

Thanks for any feedback - what a great thread this is!

latinguy20

I recommend disabling it while you're building out the pages/posts. Once you're done, you can enable it again.

Same goes for any other plugins that might interfere with the building of pages/posts or any plugin that automatically does something after building a page or post. Like an rss feed creator or ping.fm, etc.

Webmarket: #547
For those people who are worried about having a site full of virtually identical pages here are a couple of ideas for producing unique content in advance of the spintax update.

1. Use the Related RSS Plugin to give you unique but related news content targeting your chosen city on the sidebar of each post.

2. Use Plugin Creator Pro to insert unique content onto the bottom of each post.

These are just a couple of ideas and I'm sure many of you will be able to think of others.

An afterthought - you could also think about using Mike Johnson's WP Spin Wordpress Spinner

Stretch44:
Ok, so after a solid 5 hours of sleep and reading a handful of more pages in this thread, I think I might have a "handle" on this.

1 - With a domain name that can give you some flexibility, you can create a 150 - 300 word content post or page that you can save as a "draft" within the plugin.

2 - That draft can be pointed at many different geo-specific areas, however the content is the same for each location, except for the actual location that people are searching for.

3 - If the local business you are trying to rank for draws from a 50 mile radius, it would be more advantageous to use city/town names in conjunction with the "niche business" that are in that specific area.

4 - You can write different content for different aspects of the business (such as different services, products, etc...) and use sub domain modifiers so that the posts or pages are different than the post or page that you've created previously (these are new pages/posts not edits of previous p/p).

5 - If you're doing this for a company with different locations regionally, it would be necessary to have one phone number for the main office of the business and they would direct the customer to the location closest to them.

6 - This plugin can be used for building a presence in the search engines that only requires content once, geared toward promoting one business in several locations.

7 - Once a business decides they'd like the kind of exposure that you can give them, in their target area, you can go back into the draft and edit it by putting in information specific to the business that wants the exposure.

We set up 2 examples....

One of them would lean more towards a lead gen type site for offline businesses, the other serves as a gateway of sorts for CPA offers.

You could also target professional markets, and put adsense on the sites.

You could also take the pages/posts that rank well and rent/lease them to businesses.

You could also take the sites that do well and sell them to brick and mortars.

you could use the functionality of the plugin to target niches that are more conducive to things like ebooks - Relationships, debt, dog training, etc...

the possibilities are really unlimited.

Marcolav:
out of 270 pages created, Google is only showing 12, anybody has any explanation to that?

It just means they haven't been indexed yet. You can ping your sitemap.xml, submit your rss feed to feed directories, or just hang tight, most of the time google will eventually index your pages. Do you have a sitemap created?

IMWhip:
Quick Q?
You mention to maybe get indexed quicker with a new site something about RSS Feed, could you elaborate. How is this done? Or do you have somewhere you could send me. I am not sure how to implement. I would appreciate it.

You can find your sites rss feed here: www.whateveryoursiteis.com/feed - You can take that url and submit it to rss aggregators, which could get you spidered and indexed a little quicker.

What I like to do is use a service like linkliscious - I can take all the url's to my pages/posts, submit it there and it will kind of mash the url's up into seperate rss feeds and then ping them for me. The service that I use is a "paid for" type deal where I pay a monthly fee, but there are a ton of solutions out there for free pinging and some very cheap solutions for RSS submissions if you wanted to automate the process.

With that being said though - Don't be in a rush. I spent time pinging and submitting rss feeds because I wanted to use that site as an example, and I was putting it up 2 days before this went live, so I needed to try to "hurry" the process along

Even without doing any of those things, your content will still get indexed, etc, and honestly, unless you are automating it somehow, your time is probably better spent either setting up new domains, writing content, or contacting potential clients...just my opinion.

OK Warriors, the next Floating Faqs are compiled from the first 5 pages:

opportunex:
Does the plugin work with cities in the UK?
Absolutely, if you can create a page or post and you know which cities you want to target then there's nothing stopping it from working.

It really is super simple to use and it works in any area.

Cedricl:
I understand it works for any country. Does it also work for other languages (non English)
It should. Like I said earlier, if you can create a page or post and know which cities you are targeting then the plugin will do it's job.

MisterE:
Free updates for the life of the product?
Yes, Andres is the developer, and as you can see, he is very passionate about the plugin, and uses it in his daily day to day business, so it will be kept up to date.

Elis:
can it wotk with only WP sites?
Yes, it's a wordpress plugin

Helecis:
Are we limited to using All In One SEO?

It should work with any SEO plugin as long as you can input the title, description, and keywords on the page or post you're working on.

rgkweebiz:
If I'm leasing sites on domains that I own, and not flipping them, will the personal use license suffice or will I need the developer's license?

If it is all being done on your own domains, you are good with the regular license.

Donp:
will you have a way for someone to upgrade to the developers license at a later date if needed?

Shoot us a message if you want to upgrade at a later date, but you would need to pay the difference calculated to what the price is at
THAT time....

Manhattan mortgage:
Can you add pages vs posts, use both or just posts?

Works with both pages and posts.

Melody:
where's a good place to swipe a list of 'clean' city names or do you have resource in the file?

I get my lists from wikipedia. Google the state or metro area.

Vrs:
I didn't see a money back guarantee. Is there one?

As with all of our products, refunds are handled on a case to case basis.

if you send me an email that simply says "refund" - my answer back is "NO".

if you have a legitimate problem, or can't get the plugin to function, we will of course give your money back.

GraemeHawley:
Seen at least 2 people ask about duplicate content being an issue, and you don't seem to of answered the question, so can you please explain why you wont get hit for duplicate content using this method?

both of the example sites that we used have dupe content - the ranking report that andreas showed that he gave to his client a few months ago, uses dupe content - It's a non-issue.

Most of your local directory/listing type sites for the most part are created with dupe content, and they routinely rank on the first page, and stay there.

Kasida:
It would really help to see video showing how the plugin works. It would have been much easier to understand. Any chances for that?

The plugin is both a TOOL and a METHOD all in one, so showing a video of exactly what the plugin is, does, and why it works, is kind of giving away the farm.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but "how" it works isn't as important to me as....as long as it works

Your not spamming anyone
your not violating any TOS
Your playing by the rules, and being rewarded for it - The plugin just condenses hours and hours of work down to a few minutes, and gives you results faster than you would ever see yourself in scale.

Dark witness:
so am i right in thinking you don't really need to do any of the other usual seo stuff to get a good rank with this plugin?

Every situation is different, but in the dentist example in the OP, the only thing that I did was ping the site and submit it to a few social bookmarking sites to get it indexed.

Zerofill (Don):
Anyone looking for U.S. cities... and there may be a few countries in there but mainly should all be U.S. cities you can use this thing I made that we use.

U.S. Cities

You can just copy and paste right form there...

AussieT:
Jeremy in the video you mentioned that you are using the "Yet Another Related Post Plugin"
Is this also needed for your plugin to work fully?

I don't think that it's "needed" - But, I use it to help get all the pages indexed etc when the spiders hit

Drhook:
Jeremy will this work with sub-domain name or do we have to use main domain

Andres replied: I've tested it on a subdomain and it works just as well.

Mlbs:
it says on plugin to create draft post but do not publish this ??

You don't publish because the plugin takes care of that for you.

Kcseke:
Do you have to use cities in the city tag or can you use neighborhoods in a city instead? Thanks.

You can use neighborhoods, it's really up to you how you want to target it.

Or you can load up a list of cities AND neighborhoods.

Mtntgr:
white
gray
black hat?

COMPLETELY WHITE HAT...nothing gray, black, or any other color about this

Dubhlinn:
How would i go about adding phone numbers like the skype icon etc to individual pages. Can i do this manually as pages begin to rank? I could offer to place separate numbers on these pages for multiple rental pages.

You can do it manually, just edit the individual page and make whatever modifications you need to make.

Palpatine:
I don't use all-in-one plugin either, but do you know if this works with the Genesis Framework and child themes? I can input the custom title and description underneath the actual post or page content in the admin panel, I think you mentioned that somewhere in this thread, but I definitely prefer Genesis without the all-in-one SEO plugin or ANY SEO plugin for that matter.

It does work with the Genesis framework. It pretty much with any custom fields that are available when you are setting up the page or post.

Dubhlinn:
Also i dont think that the posts look great if i try to sell to one client #example one post after another after another scrolling down the page.

Go into "Settings" => "Reading" and change the default "Blog pages show at most" from 10 to 1 to take care of that.

Quote:
dubhlinn:
I think it would look a lot better if we used individual pages. If we do individual pages is there a way to hide them from the nav bar so we don't have a mess of 50 + page names

Use a free plugin called "Exclude Pages from Navigation" it provides a checkbox on the editing page which you can check to exclude pages from the primary navigation.

Pages 6 through 10:

Markiz:
How the posts are being built? On the fly?

If I understand your question right, Yes!

Morpheus26:
Just to clarify. What this plugin does is change a city name in the title content and so on and create a seperate post or page for each city I add in a list? Is that correct?
So the pages only differ in the city name, everything else is the same. After the plugin created these pages I can manually change things in these pages?
Does the plugin do this for all pages setup or can I say I want this behaviour only on my contact page for example?

Yes that's correct and after the pages are created, you do have to option to go in and change whatever you want manually.
The plugin will automatically do it for the pages that have the placeholder anywhere in the content. If the placeholder is not there then the plugin won't mess with it.

Catgirl07:
Will this only work for "your niche + city" keyword domains.
Was wondering if it would work for any domain eg Joesplumbing.com?

Will work with any domain.

Bostoncitymass:
When adding the plugins (all in one seo, yet another related, etc.) anything in particular we should do with the configuring? I have a few standard tweaks I usually make but for the most part I don't change much. Wondering what your opinions/suggestions are.

Nothing other than the standard setup.

Edc3076:
I use thesis framework, how is this going to react inside thesis? thank you

Andres Replied - I've tested in multiple themes with no issues really. The only thing I noticed is that if your theme automatically creates the menu from the pages in the site, then you would need to use the Exclude pages plugin so that you can prevent a multitude of pages being added to the navbar.

If you use a custom menu, then you don't have to worry about that.

Jaycar:
I just bought your Local Ninja Plug In and I cannot seem to install it. It keeps saying that this plug in does not have a valid header. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Need to unzip the initial zip file you download. Once you extract it... there is another zip file inside along with the video. That zip file is the one you install.

Onecrackedegg Added -
Unzip the downloaded file and you will see 3 items inside:
READ-ME-FIRST.txt
plugininstructions.wmv
localpagesninja.zip

Upload the localpagesninja.zip in your wordpress install (that is the actual plugin) and it should work.

Jeremy Posted:
Just an FYI....

Myself, Don, and Andres are all located on the East Coast of the USA.

So, if you ask a question and we don't answer right away, you're not being ignored, well get you taken care of as soon as we roll out of bed.


zerofill on version 1.5/1.51
The plugin is basically a total rewrite over the original version and works much better.

1) You can use spinner syntax

2) You generate posts/pages from drafts you save by actually telling it to generate posts by pressing a button (no more auto save headaches etc...)

3) You can choose the number of posts/pages to generate or you can let it generate the total in the list of the shortcodes.

4) Yes I said shortcode(s)... You can create multiple custom shortcodes.

5) You can delete all posts or pages based off of a specific draft

6) You can update a draft and generate more pages based off the update to the draft.

7) When you delete posts you no longer have to delete the draft. But it will delete all posts or pages created using the draft you have selected at the time.

All the information will be in the video... You will need a license key to activate the plugin.

When you change over to the new plugin... Deactivate the old one... and then click delete.

Upload the new plugin and activate it.

You will then need to go to the licensing page and enter your key.

The information on where to get the key... etc... will be released when the video and update are here in a few...


MontyPlums
Suggested a great new rank tracking plugin. See #2 above.

The next Floating Faqs are compiled from pages 11 - 15:

Bostoncitymass:
I'm using the "time machine" on my site right now.
They work great together

Yeah that actually is core conversion

Latinguy20:
Here you go, have fun.

Cities (World) - AdWords API - Google Code

You can just download the csv and separate by country.

Ej2012:
as far as new domain is considered.. if I went and bought a new domain today.. would you recommend waiting for x amount of period.. or just go for it.. start using the plugin and move on?

The dentist example domain was bought, and had content on it 12 hours later, and had first page rankings, not long after that....Ultimately, wait a bit if you are more comfortable doing so, but I don't see any reason you "have to".

Radix:
Is there any reason why we can't remove the plugin once the posts/pages are created? Might help to cut down on the footprint if folks were to do that. If this was already recommended, sorry for asking again.

No reason at all. Once you're happy with all posts/pages created, you can delete the plugin.

Only thing is that you lose the ability to edit the draft and have it update all the corresponding posts at once.

Scott_krech:
It's GREAT to "dominate" a local market, as in your examples here, but if the pages rank for a day or so, then are booted, it's kind of pointless.

That's just the thing - That isn't our experience at all.

When you put up a new site and pages/posts are getting indexed, sure some of the rankings will move around, but when the dust settles, and it's all said and done - You still have more than enough first page rankings to do what you need to do with them.

Scott_krech:
4 quickies:

1) What service are you offering your clients that you use the plugin for [local SEO]?

Yes local SEO, get them to show up for the services they offer in the areas they want to service.

2) What are you charging them monthly for this?

Varies from business to business. It's largely based on what their average invoice is and how many new clients I think I can get them monthly. I've been doing this for a while so I always have a good idea depending on the size of the area.

3) Are the sites converting for them?

Absolutely. Pretty much every client that signs up with me stays with me. I've only lost 2 clients and both were because they got out of the business and started a new venture.

4) How are you tracking this?

Mostly by installing a call tracking number that has a whisper tone so they know the call is coming in because of me.

Big Hombre:
1) Is use of the plugin dependent on Google Places/Maps? In other words, does the site being promoted have to have Google Places presence in order to benefit from this?

No, it works completely independently of Google places/Maps.

2) From the other direction, if all you've got is a Google Maps profile and no website, can you benefit from this plugin via promotion from an unrelated site? For instance, can I promote a client's Google Maps profile from my site?

For Google places anymore, one of the "big things" is having a website that ranks well organically, so setting a site up, ranking well for several cities and areas for your client - Then linking the site to your GP Listing, would be a very positive thing for your client.

The next Floating Faqs are compiled from pages 16 - 20:

Ericdpangilinan:
When I tried to add cities, my site turned to "Install Wordpress" page!

Then, after a while, it was back on again. (Whew!)

Now, I found 300+ posts made automatically, so I deleted them.

However, when I was about to delete the last 20 posts made by the plugin, the site turned to "Install Wordpress" page again!

What's happening here?! :-(

My site's still says "Install Wordpress" as of now.

Hope you can help.
I've only seen this once before and I think it has to do with the hosting you're using and that you may have made a mistake and included a {City} tag somewhere instead of {city}.

Just give it sometime and let it catch up, then disable the plugin, install Bulk Delete plugin, delete all the posts, and then when you go to enable the Local Pages plugin again just be sure you are using {city}.

Rh12341:
can you pls confirm if we leave a space between "san francisco" or "los angeles" or if we delete it or replace it with coma, etc..., when we put the cities into the brackets

also is your tag accepting figures into brackets, for ex if we want to target the districts inside a particular city?

this to be sure avoiding mistake before doing it!

You don't put the cities into brackets, they get loaded into a separate dashboard and you can put whatever you want in there, cities, zip codes, suburbs, etc.
Appended (MisterE said) Spaces are perfectly fine as long as the tokens follow the same format.

MisterE:
For those of you with questions....

If you scroll to the top of this page you'll find a "Search This Thread" option, right below the row of page numbers on the right. The search will return only relevant post's to your search query.

Allustrious:
if these potential clients have a newer website (for example) that they may have already spent thousands on, for me to come in and try to say that, "You will need to have your website created/re-created as a wordpress site for our service to work", I wouldnt think these types of clients would agree. Who knows, maybe I'm over thinking things. I would still be interested in Andres thoughts????

Obviously they wouldn't, BUT if you can show them numerous first page rankings for cities/areas, that would probably give them confidence enough in your abilities to pay you even if it was to make more html/static sites for them....So, the plugin doesn't have to be the solution to the client, it can simply be the lead generator for you, based on the results that you can show your client:

"look how many first page rankings I got with this crappy blog and 400 words of content, what do you think I could do, if I focused solely on your site for you to get you results?"

It's a great closing tool...

Wmsgeorge:
using firefox it brought my cpu usage all the way to 100% and stayed there until i restarted. I tried it on my other computer and didnt have a problem in a different browser but I cant seem to use it on my computer which is brand new as of 2 weeks ago.

As far as The CPU usage...I'm no technical wizard, but the plugin is essentially running on and using the resources of your host, so not sure how or why you would see your CPU usage jump like that...This is something that I've personally never experiences, or heard of anyone having any issues with at all.

MontyPlums:
Will this WSO work on an existing domain using Wordpress? Does the domain name need to have Keyword+City in it?

Yes it will work on an existing domain and it doesn't have to be a keyword rich domain. It obviously helps but if your domain already has some kind of authority with Google then that's sometimes even better.


Marcolav:
It seems ALL in ONE SEO will not create a TITLE for PAGES, which could be a reason why Google is indexing pages slow or not at all as opposed to indexing posts very fast?

I am several days into having created about 1,000 posts pages on different blogs and to date only 12 POSTS are showing in google index, and ONE PAGE. The rest of the content on the same blogs continues to be indexed fast so I tend to suspect this has got something to do with the specifics of the content created by this plugin.

All in One SEO works the same both for pages and posts so I don't see why that would make a difference. Posts do tend to get indexed quicker in my experience but that's because of how interlinked they are so it's easier for Google to spider them. Plus they get added to your rss.

If you're using pages, add the plugin RSS Include Pages so that your pages are also added to the rss feed of your site. Then take that RSS feed, go to a site like bulkping.com and submit the RSS feed.

Jeff Klein:
I get that the plugin creates draft pages and that those pages rank but what happens when a user clicks on one of the listings? What page loads since the draft that is ranking is not live? Does the user land on the site homepage, the original seed post/page or some other page we define in the plugin?

No, you use a draft page as the seed post/page but the plugin creates actual pages/posts so that's what people will land on when they find your site on Google.

Vicki247:
are we to get a new domain name with each city, right ?

No you can use one domain name to target as many cities as you want.

Rmhayes:
DOes this change the format or layout of site, or is it just behind the scenes.

The site looks the same as the tool works in the background.

Kreative:
once I've set up my first draft and the cities I want to make pages for.... once I complete it and they're up, can I add content.. not change it but add to it? or will this generate new pages?

You can add content to the draft and save it again as a draft. That will change the content on all the posts you have created. You can also go to the individual posts or pages and make a change. Just make sure that post's city name is not in your city list next time you update the initial draft.

MarketingHuddle:
my question is, how does this approach get page 1 rankings for a specific area when it's just a bunch of pages with different geo-targeted keywords?

Your article will be optimized for that city keyword:

title
image
article content
tags
all-in-one-seo plugin

All will be optimized for your city keyword. Some will rank in a day or two and some will need a few backlinks. It all depends on the competition. With unique spun content, SEO optimized articles, and a few backlinks I think this will work really well for many keywords.

Levyorit:
will it work on autoblog?
can you give me a name of someone i can hire to install the plug?

I don't think it will, you have to actually create the draft post/page that the plugin uses in conjunction with the cities.

As far as having someone install and setup the plugin, I'm sure there are a few people on here that already have the hang of it that would be willing to do it.

Wild Card

In #5 of the floating FAQ's Jeremy states you can set the sites up, and once they start to rank, put adsense on them.
Question: Will Google rank the posts faster without the adsense? When I edit the draft to add the adsense after they rank, I get a -2 added to the URL. Anyone else see a problem with a different URL?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

JulianG

Awesome BUT If you know SEO inside out you don't need to get this. Boooya!

MisterE

This isn't an answer Wild Card... But I can tell you that the URL with the '-2' signifies that the post is a duplicate of the original draft/post. You knew or suspected this I'm sure. And, I have no idea whether or not you will be indexed faster with or without AdSense in the beginning.

I can say that I'm 40% indexed and I've been using AdSense from the beginning (3 days now).

Mark

Wild Card

Thanks MissterE,
I think I'll try it your way and hope the posts get ranked. I know this doesn't pertain to the LPN but if anyone knows an easy way to lose the Comments feature from Wordpress, I'd really appreciate it. I don't want to have to moderate hundreds of spam comments every day. (I've tried the Hide Comments plugin with no satisfaction)
Thanks again,
Jim

Akismet plugin

What a strange post. I would think anyone who has read a fraction of this thread would understand what this plugin is all about...

Akismet is active on my sites but I'd like to totally remove the comment boxes from the posts and pages. It give a much cleaner look and I want to focus the readers attention on the content/adsense.

LPN BEST PRACTICES & FLOATING "FAQ"

ADD TO IT AND HELP EVERYONE (BUT READ FIRST, PLEASE!).

This was originated by MisterE and it's still "his baby." I (Big Hombre) have truncated some of his original post on the whys of this. If you want to see that, consult post #1582.

Everyone is free (and encouraged) to add to the Floating FAQ with posts or portions thereof that you think should be here. Use the multi-quote tool or cut-and-paste. Either way, select the info you've posted and hit the BOLD B for easier reference to the info.

The important stuff.

In order for this to work, you must find the last posting of this BEST PRACTICES post to quote and add to. Otherwise it will end as nothing more than SPAM!

YOU MUST DELETE THE QUOTE TAGS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PREVIOUS POST AND THE END OF THE PREVIOUS POST! BEFORE POSTING YOUR INFO!

THEY LOOK LIKE THIS: [/QUOT E] & [QUOT E=MisterE;4411581]

***An alternative method is to simply Select (CTRL-A) the Floating Faqs content and Copy (CTRL-C), then Paste (CTRL-V) into a new post.



Videos and the latest version of the plugin are found there. If you want to be sure you have the latest version of LPN from your Dashboard, go to Local Pages plugin > Licensing > "Check for Updates" and click. Also, you should be auto-updated within 24 hours of a update, so even if you don't see an email you will be notified.


#1 Subprime1:
I seem to remember earlier mentions of duplicate post issues found they were caused by improper use of {shortcodes}.

With the original plugin this could happen by calling { City} instead of {city}.

With the updated version I think some have had it happen when they named a shortcode using the "{ }" symbols. You should name the shortcodes without using "{ }" symbols. Only use those symbols in the text/html/copy of the post/page you are publishing.

#2 Big Hombre
Hey everybody. I discovered two different rank tracking plugins for Wordpress. I'm surprised nobody is talking about them. I will be trying one or both out shortly, but I thought I'd give a head's up to everybody here since it seems like this is now a real issue for all of us.

Many of the tools mentioned here are good (if not great), but some are very expensive and most require you to boot up an app and go back and forth between your site(s) and the tool. What's really cool about these plugins is the promise of making the job a lot easier. You can work right from within WP—to which I say "COOL!"

Website Rank Tracker
Free for 5 keywords. $14.95/mo. after that. Looks powerful but haven't tried.

Rank Tracker Plugin
This is a $29 plugin, but it's got what looks like some killer features (not to mention testimonials). Unfortunately, is a "passive" plugin. It only tracks pages that are getting traffic, so this is not much help with a new blog.

MontyPlums suggested:
Gonna chime in here with another Rank Tracker plugin that I currently use.

SEO Rank Reporter

(This may be the WP plugin we're all looking for. It's free and tracks/graphs your Google rankings on a 3 day basis. —Big Hombre)

#3 Jody_W
SEOBook.com also has a nice Firefox addon, which is also free: Keyword Rank Checking Software & Rank Tracker Tools: SEO Book.com

What I like about it is that you just load up your domain name and your keywords and it does the rest. You don't have to deal with the individual pages. It returns the url for any pages that are ranking for the particular keyword.

#4 Big Hombre
Quoting myself here not because I'm necessarily in love with my own ideas (really!), but because others seemed to find the following helpful.

The strategy I'm currently following is to:

A) Create Categories and Posts around my main and general keywords to give the site some permanent "weight", e.g. "plumbing," "plumbing in los angeles," "plumbing services la", etc. Let keyword volume and common sense be your guide.

B) Create Pages using LPN for main keyword + local neighborhoods/cities: e.g. "plumber los angeles," "plumber hollywood," "plumber beverly hills," etc.

C) Create Pages using LPN around narrow niches: e.g. "unclog sink los angeles." This assumes (having not done any KW research for this) that there is some volume of traffic (either in general or specific to the city) for "unclog sink."

If you do this, you'll cover all the bases and look like an authority site. But bear in mind, I'm new to this plugin, so I can't speak from great authority as to whether this is a good strategy. It seems to be in line with what Jeremy et all are recommending. Your results will undoubtedly vary.

#5 Jeremy Kelsall
(Should probably be #1)

There are several ways to monetize...

You can sell advertising space

You can sell the sites to local businesses

You can set the sites up and broker leads

you can set the sites up, and once they start to rank, put adsense on them.

you can set the sites up, and then use something like our core conversions plugin to display some sort of CPA offer

You can use the results as an "in" to get consulting and SEO work from local business.

You can "rent or lease" the sites

...and that's just off the top of my head...

Webmarket: #547
For those people who are worried about having a site full of virtually identical pages here are a couple of ideas for producing unique content in advance of the spintax update.

1. Use the Related RSS Plugin to give you unique but related news content targeting your chosen city on the sidebar of each post.

2. Use Plugin Creator Pro to insert unique content onto the bottom of each post.

These are just a couple of ideas and I'm sure many of you will be able to think of others.

An afterthought - you could also think about using Mike Johnson's WP Spin Wordpress Spinner

Stretch44:
Ok, so after a solid 5 hours of sleep and reading a handful of more pages in this thread, I think I might have a "handle" on this.

1 - With a domain name that can give you some flexibility, you can create a 150 - 300 word content post or page that you can save as a "draft" within the plugin.

2 - That draft can be pointed at many different geo-specific areas, however the content is the same for each location, except for the actual location that people are searching for.

3 - If the local business you are trying to rank for draws from a 50 mile radius, it would be more advantageous to use city/town names in conjunction with the "niche business" that are in that specific area.

4 - You can write different content for different aspects of the business (such as different services, products, etc...) and use sub domain modifiers so that the posts or pages are different than the post or page that you've created previously (these are new pages/posts not edits of previous p/p).

5 - If you're doing this for a company with different locations regionally, it would be necessary to have one phone number for the main office of the business and they would direct the customer to the location closest to them.

6 - This plugin can be used for building a presence in the search engines that only requires content once, geared toward promoting one business in several locations.

7 - Once a business decides they'd like the kind of exposure that you can give them, in their target area, you can go back into the draft and edit it by putting in information specific to the business that wants the exposure.

out of 270 pages created, Google is only showing 12, anybody has any explanation to that?

It just means they haven't been indexed yet. You can ping your sitemap.xml, submit your rss feed to feed directories, or just hang tight, most of the time google will eventually index your pages. Do you have a sitemap created?

IMWhip:
Quick Q?
You mention to maybe get indexed quicker with a new site something about RSS Feed, could you elaborate. How is this done? Or do you have somewhere you could send me. I am not sure how to implement. I would appreciate it.

You can find your sites rss feed here: www.whateveryoursiteis.com/feed - You can take that url and submit it to rss aggregators, which could get you spidered and indexed a little quicker.

What I like to do is use a service like linkliscious - I can take all the url's to my pages/posts, submit it there and it will kind of mash the url's up into seperate rss feeds and then ping them for me. The service that I use is a "paid for" type deal where I pay a monthly fee, but there are a ton of solutions out there for free pinging and some very cheap solutions for RSS submissions if you wanted to automate the process.

With that being said though - Don't be in a rush. I spent time pinging and submitting rss feeds because I wanted to use that site as an example, and I was putting it up 2 days before this went live, so I needed to try to "hurry" the process along

Even without doing any of those things, your content will still get indexed, etc, and honestly, unless you are automating it somehow, your time is probably better spent either setting up new domains, writing content, or contacting potential clients...just my opinion.

OK Warriors, the next Floating Faqs are compiled from the first 5 pages:

opportunex:
Does the plugin work with cities in the UK?
Absolutely, if you can create a page or post and you know which cities you want to target then there's nothing stopping it from working.

It really is super simple to use and it works in any area.

Cedricl:
I understand it works for any country. Does it also work for other languages (non English)
It should. Like I said earlier, if you can create a page or post and know which cities you are targeting then the plugin will do it's job.

MisterE:
Free updates for the life of the product?
Yes, Andres is the developer, and as you can see, he is very passionate about the plugin, and uses it in his daily day to day business, so it will be kept up to date.

Elis:
can it wotk with only WP sites?
Yes, it's a wordpress plugin

Helecis:
Are we limited to using All In One SEO?

It should work with any SEO plugin as long as you can input the title, description, and keywords on the page or post you're working on.

rgkweebiz:
If I'm leasing sites on domains that I own, and not flipping them, will the personal use license suffice or will I need the developer's license?

If it is all being done on your own domains, you are good with the regular license.

Donp:
will you have a way for someone to upgrade to the developers license at a later date if needed?

Shoot us a message if you want to upgrade at a later date, but you would need to pay the difference calculated to what the price is at
THAT time....

Manhattan mortgage:
Can you add pages vs posts, use both or just posts?

Works with both pages and posts.

Melody:
where's a good place to swipe a list of 'clean' city names or do you have resource in the file?

I get my lists from wikipedia. Google the state or metro area.

Vrs:
I didn't see a money back guarantee. Is there one?

As with all of our products, refunds are handled on a case to case basis.

if you send me an email that simply says "refund" - my answer back is "NO".

if you have a legitimate problem, or can't get the plugin to function, we will of course give your money back.

GraemeHawley:
Seen at least 2 people ask about duplicate content being an issue, and you don't seem to of answered the question, so can you please explain why you wont get hit for duplicate content using this method?

both of the example sites that we used have dupe content - the ranking report that andreas showed that he gave to his client a few months ago, uses dupe content - It's a non-issue.

Most of your local directory/listing type sites for the most part are created with dupe content, and they routinely rank on the first page, and stay there.

Kasida:
It would really help to see video showing how the plugin works. It would have been much easier to understand. Any chances for that?

The plugin is both a TOOL and a METHOD all in one, so showing a video of exactly what the plugin is, does, and why it works, is kind of giving away the farm.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but "how" it works isn't as important to me as....as long as it works

Your not spamming anyone
your not violating any TOS
Your playing by the rules, and being rewarded for it - The plugin just condenses hours and hours of work down to a few minutes, and gives you results faster than you would ever see yourself in scale.

Dark witness:
so am i right in thinking you don't really need to do any of the other usual seo stuff to get a good rank with this plugin?

Every situation is different, but in the dentist example in the OP, the only thing that I did was ping the site and submit it to a few social bookmarking sites to get it indexed.

Zerofill (Don):
Anyone looking for U.S. cities... and there may be a few countries in there but mainly should all be U.S. cities you can use this thing I made that we use.

U.S. Cities

You can just copy and paste right form there...

AussieT:
Jeremy in the video you mentioned that you are using the "Yet Another Related Post Plugin"
Is this also needed for your plugin to work fully?

I don't think that it's "needed" - But, I use it to help get all the pages indexed etc when the spiders hit

Drhook:
Jeremy will this work with sub-domain name or do we have to use main domain

Andres replied: I've tested it on a subdomain and it works just as well.

Mlbs:
it says on plugin to create draft post but do not publish this ??

You don't publish because the plugin takes care of that for you.

Kcseke:
Do you have to use cities in the city tag or can you use neighborhoods in a city instead? Thanks.

You can use neighborhoods, it's really up to you how you want to target it.

Or you can load up a list of cities AND neighborhoods.

Mtntgr:
white
gray
black hat?

COMPLETELY WHITE HAT...nothing gray, black, or any other color about this

Dubhlinn:
How would i go about adding phone numbers like the skype icon etc to individual pages. Can i do this manually as pages begin to rank? I could offer to place separate numbers on these pages for multiple rental pages.

You can do it manually, just edit the individual page and make whatever modifications you need to make.

Palpatine:
I don't use all-in-one plugin either, but do you know if this works with the Genesis Framework and child themes? I can input the custom title and description underneath the actual post or page content in the admin panel, I think you mentioned that somewhere in this thread, but I definitely prefer Genesis without the all-in-one SEO plugin or ANY SEO plugin for that matter.

It does work with the Genesis framework. It pretty much with any custom fields that are available when you are setting up the page or post.

Dubhlinn:
Also i dont think that the posts look great if i try to sell to one client #example one post after another after another scrolling down the page.

Go into "Settings" => "Reading" and change the default "Blog pages show at most" from 10 to 1 to take care of that.

dubhlinn:
I think it would look a lot better if we used individual pages. If we do individual pages is there a way to hide them from the nav bar so we don't have a mess of 50 + page names

Use a free plugin called "Exclude Pages from Navigation" it provides a checkbox on the editing page which you can check to exclude pages from the primary navigation.

Pages 6 through 10:

Markiz:
How the posts are being built? On the fly?

If I understand your question right, Yes!

Morpheus26:
Just to clarify. What this plugin does is change a city name in the title content and so on and create a seperate post or page for each city I add in a list? Is that correct?
So the pages only differ in the city name, everything else is the same. After the plugin created these pages I can manually change things in these pages?
Does the plugin do this for all pages setup or can I say I want this behaviour only on my contact page for example?

Yes that's correct and after the pages are created, you do have to option to go in and change whatever you want manually.
The plugin will automatically do it for the pages that have the placeholder anywhere in the content. If the placeholder is not there then the plugin won't mess with it.

Catgirl07:
Will this only work for "your niche + city" keyword domains.
Was wondering if it would work for any domain eg Joesplumbing.com?

Will work with any domain.

Bostoncitymass:
When adding the plugins (all in one seo, yet another related, etc.) anything in particular we should do with the configuring? I have a few standard tweaks I usually make but for the most part I don't change much. Wondering what your opinions/suggestions are.

Nothing other than the standard setup.

Edc3076:
I use thesis framework, how is this going to react inside thesis? thank you

Andres Replied - I've tested in multiple themes with no issues really. The only thing I noticed is that if your theme automatically creates the menu from the pages in the site, then you would need to use the Exclude pages plugin so that you can prevent a multitude of pages being added to the navbar.

If you use a custom menu, then you don't have to worry about that.

Jaycar:
I just bought your Local Ninja Plug In and I cannot seem to install it. It keeps saying that this plug in does not have a valid header. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Need to unzip the initial zip file you download. Once you extract it... there is another zip file inside along with the video. That zip file is the one you install.

Onecrackedegg Added -
Unzip the downloaded file and you will see 3 items inside:
READ-ME-FIRST.txt
plugininstructions.wmv
localpagesninja.zip

Upload the localpagesninja.zip in your wordpress install (that is the actual plugin) and it should work.

Jeremy Posted:
Just an FYI....

Myself, Don, and Andres are all located on the East Coast of the USA.

So, if you ask a question and we don't answer right away, you're not being ignored, well get you taken care of as soon as we roll out of bed.

zerofill on version 1.5/1.51
The plugin is basically a total rewrite over the original version and works much better.

1) You can use spinner syntax

2) You generate posts/pages from drafts you save by actually telling it to generate posts by pressing a button (no more auto save headaches etc...)

3) You can choose the number of posts/pages to generate or you can let it generate the total in the list of the shortcodes.

4) Yes I said shortcode(s)... You can create multiple custom shortcodes.

5) You can delete all posts or pages based off of a specific draft

6) You can update a draft and generate more pages based off the update to the draft.

7) When you delete posts you no longer have to delete the draft. But it will delete all posts or pages created using the draft you have selected at the time.

All the information will be in the video... You will need a license key to activate the plugin.

When you change over to the new plugin... Deactivate the old one... and then click delete.

Upload the new plugin and activate it.

You will then need to go to the licensing page and enter your key.

The information on where to get the key... etc... will be released when the video and update are here in a few...

Suggested a great new rank tracking plugin. See #2 above.

The next Floating Faqs are compiled from pages 11 - 15:

Bostoncitymass:
I'm using the "time machine" on my site right now.
They work great together

Yeah that actually is core conversion

Latinguy20:
Here you go, have fun.

Cities (World) - AdWords API - Google Code

You can just download the csv and separate by country.

Ej2012:
as far as new domain is considered.. if I went and bought a new domain today.. would you recommend waiting for x amount of period.. or just go for it.. start using the plugin and move on?

The dentist example domain was bought, and had content on it 12 hours later, and had first page rankings, not long after that....Ultimately, wait a bit if you are more comfortable doing so, but I don't see any reason you "have to".

Radix:
Is there any reason why we can't remove the plugin once the posts/pages are created? Might help to cut down on the footprint if folks were to do that. If this was already recommended, sorry for asking again.

No reason at all. Once you're happy with all posts/pages created, you can delete the plugin.

Only thing is that you lose the ability to edit the draft and have it update all the corresponding posts at once.

Scott_krech:
It's GREAT to "dominate" a local market, as in your examples here, but if the pages rank for a day or so, then are booted, it's kind of pointless.

That's just the thing - That isn't our experience at all.

When you put up a new site and pages/posts are getting indexed, sure some of the rankings will move around, but when the dust settles, and it's all said and done - You still have more than enough first page rankings to do what you need to do with them.

Scott_krech:
4 quickies:

1) What service are you offering your clients that you use the plugin for [local SEO]?

Yes local SEO, get them to show up for the services they offer in the areas they want to service.

2) What are you charging them monthly for this?

Varies from business to business. It's largely based on what their average invoice is and how many new clients I think I can get them monthly. I've been doing this for a while so I always have a good idea depending on the size of the area.

3) Are the sites converting for them?

Absolutely. Pretty much every client that signs up with me stays with me. I've only lost 2 clients and both were because they got out of the business and started a new venture.

4) How are you tracking this?

Mostly by installing a call tracking number that has a whisper tone so they know the call is coming in because of me.

Big Hombre:
1) Is use of the plugin dependent on Google Places/Maps? In other words, does the site being promoted have to have Google Places presence in order to benefit from this?

No, it works completely independently of Google places/Maps.

2) From the other direction, if all you've got is a Google Maps profile and no website, can you benefit from this plugin via promotion from an unrelated site? For instance, can I promote a client's Google Maps profile from my site?

For Google places anymore, one of the "big things" is having a website that ranks well organically, so setting a site up, ranking well for several cities and areas for your client - Then linking the site to your GP Listing, would be a very positive thing for your client.

deltamatrix (good advice if you're confused or overwhelmed)
I would say you should go back to the basics and figure out what works and what doesn't. Use a very basic WP theme, a short simple post without any spinning, and only 1 or 2 shortcodes. Publish only a couple posts to test it out and see what works. Maybe try deactivating un-needed plugins to see if that helps.

Get a very basic system working first and then add the bling and test again. Just a couple posts every time until you have it all sorted out. Then once you are happy with the output and everything works, go ahead and start pumping out lots of posts. Of course you'll check those final posts for quality as well.

jeffbell on posts with numbers after them...
I think there's something to be said about deleting trash between doing a new build on an draft that has been edited. Because before I took out the trash, the number on the end of the permalink went to four. So I think it was counting my resaved drafts, regardless of deleting my builds.

(I saw the same thing. Moral of the story... DELETE YOUR OLD POSTS if you plan on redoing with the same shortcodes! —Big Hombre)

latinguy20 (on new LPN Posts showing up under the LPN Posts, not the regular Posts section, and not showing up on the site at all: i.e. your theme doesn't like LPN)

Try switching to a basic theme like the Twenty Ten, build your posts, then when you're all back, switch back to the one you want to use.

I have to do this with a site right now where the theme is not cooperating and it seems to be working doing it that way.

MisterE

Jim,

Ultimately I don't think it really matters. Time is relative.

Originally when I answered your post I had another couple paragraphs in the reply. Better sense on my part dictated that I remove the full response. It was superfluous info with no authority.

As to your question about Comments, I believe what I did was in the WP Dashboard went to Discussion and made changes there. This is the first time that I've tried to disable commenting on a WP install. So, I may also be wrong about this..... But, I am pretty sure there is a way to turn them off.

Mark

purpleman87

It might be easier to use only one shortcode but using the state abr. in the shortcode itself for some cities and not for others.

For example, for cities that are unique to 1 state, use only "city". For cities that are common to another state or states just add "city st".

So it's still just one list of cities but the ones that need the state abbreviation get it and the others don't without adding another shortcode.

might look like this

Citya
Cityb
Cityc ST
Cityd
Citye ST
etc.

Wild Card

Thanks again MisterE,
If I find a solution, I'll PM you.
Jim
