Does anyone know if you can use shortcodes in the keyword section of All In One SEO plugin?

Rick

Ashley Gable

Am I the only one having a hellish time figuring out the newest version?

I really have to go through and count how many cities I entered so I can build that amount of pages?

Instead of us just having to open tickets, is there anyway you could just do a quick video or pdf of all the options in this newest version?!

In the mean time I will just keep clicking things until I figure it out.

Vicki247

What do I need to delete before adding posts (content? short codes even if using same?)and where do I write posts after doing first draft? Still asking- I would sure like to add more than the 1st draft page- and awaiting help here

you know my sites on 1st G page looks funny with only 1 draft page :0)

Ashley Gable

Alright, I am going to go back to the old version where you just save a draft and it all revolves around that draft.

I'll install the new plugin when there is some documentation on how to make it work.

GregRom

Copy your City List, open Exel, PASTE, Scroll Down, and you'll see your Magic Number of Cities....
Thats how i do.

Thanks

Greg

MisterE

Rick, yes, shortcodes can be used with AIO, they can also be used with tags, and your image descriptions.

Shortcodes do not work with categories though.

Mark

MisterE

Ashley,

No, you do not need to count and enter the number of cities. As long as your cities shortcode file has the highest count of variables for all the different shortcodes you're using.

What may be throwing you off is some of us commenting about the number of posts/pages that were created being larger than the number of cities in the shortcode file. This could cause duplication.

Personally,I would enter the number. If you don't want to count the number of cities manually you can download a notepad replacement that numbers the lines. Notepad++ is a good choice. It also has 'Search and Replace' and Macro capabilities. You'll find these features indispensable in the future.

Mark

MisterE

Vicki,

You should be able to just "Add New" a different article and build your pages. If you are using the same shortcodes as your first article you should be just fine. If not, then create your new shortcodes and sprinkle them into your second draft (article).

If you want to be safe, you could always build just one page. Enter a 1 into the 'number of posts' to create field and see how that looks to you. If it didn't work the way you expected you can just delete that one post.

Mark

Vicki247

Mark- Thank you, I couldn't answer you in message because I don't have enough posts yet.
To ADD A NEW Article go to the left where it says:
' Local Pages' and under that is:
"Add NEW" so I write new article there

DO I SET the OUTPUT for "POST" ?

When I view it does not show 'city' or {city}- is that correct?

WHere do I go to see all my city posts? I only see one

Where can I put legal pages like DIsclaimer, Terms of Service, 'contact' and 'about'? DO I do same asabove and set OUTPUT on upper right to "PAGES"?

What settings do I put the plugins for :
2. Bridge SEO Tag Wrap Keywords
3. Configurable Tag Cloud (CTC)
4. Dagon Design Sitemap Generator
5. Efficient Related Posts
6. Google XML Sitemaps
7. SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2
8. SEO Smart Links
9. SEO Friendly Images
10.Quick Cache

THANK YOU

The above quote should be compulsory reading for everyone who has a "how" question, this thread would be half the length if people would just try stuff for themselves rather than just asking.

I would add two points to the above...

1. Make your blog private
2. Ensure there are no ping services listed

Now you can create and delete posts and pages to your hearts content, put your short codes everywhere and see what works. Create a couple of posts, look at the source code to ensure it is all created as you want it, if not go back to LPN delete, correct, build and when you're happy make blog public, add ping list build it and move on.

Does anybody know if there is a support desk for Core Conversion? I am finding that for some of my sites, when i put core conversion on it will show correctly if view it from the word press admin area, but if i do a google search then click on my site it just shows the original page of my site.

Erin

Tara

Hey guys! I have a pretty simple question. I own LPN... got it on 8/2. Just been following this incredible thread looking forward to the private member area. I am just setting it up now. My question is... Should I start building my client's site as usual, on page seo, categories, etc... than add LPN or can we do all of this inside of the plug-in.

Hope this question is not confusing.
Thanx!
Tara

freemind

I have to come back to a point re the tag in the url.
My first site is indexed and ranked with the domain.com/tag/kw - this was before I know to use AIOSEO to exclude the tag pages/posts to be indexed.

Now I wanted to lease this site out but can't use the CC.

Any tip what I should do now where these tag pages are created?

Maria

mawk01

Can anyone comment on whether its a good idea if I'm using the core conversion plugin, and we're just building a highly optimized onpage site, and since no one is going to see the page because of CC, to go ahead and throw some backlinks on the local page to other sites I have already....would that give me a boatload of backlinks to other sites when I build it out?

Thanks

Steve

freemind

Would you mind to tell us how you do the RSS feed from all the URL's ?

Wondering if I should buy RSSbot?

Maria

eQuus

Even though it's powerful LPN is also simple to use. Have you watched tobar's how-to video? I watched it once and went to work and never had any trouble with the plugin. In the video Andres says that if you don't put a number in the "how many pages" field, then LPN would create as many pages as cities you provided in your short codes. And that's how I've been doing it. Just watch that video as many times as you can until it sinks in.

MisterE

Install those two plugins Vicki, it's almost mandatory that you get this done first.

Mark

MisterE

Most excellent advice Fulva!

By private Fulva means that you go to the 'Privacy' tab under 'Settings' in your WP dashboard and choose the second option to not let the search engines view your site.

Mark

MisterE

Tara, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say something that others might not agree with, maybe even Jeremy, Andres and Don.

I don't believe that LPN should be used to create a site for a client. I do believe it should be used alongside a clients site, but as a subdomain or it's own domain. The optimized pages/posts that LPN creates do not lend themselves well to a clients home site.

You can use the plugin Core Conversion by our very own Don and Jeremy to direct visitors to the clients site, or rent the ranking LPN pages to your clients. To do the latter you would need to edit the already created posts or pages with the clients information. And then remove the associated cities from the appropriate shortcodes list so they won't be overwritten at a later date.

Probably just confused you further with my answer. That was not my original intention when I started this reply. Read, Read and reread until things start to make sense to you.

Think of LPN as candy for the search engines rather than a full meal.

Mark

Vicki247

@Mark, I scanned over your answers and see that you answered over and above and I want to send my appreciations to you for that !
I will now start work. I will delete the websites that don't show multiple cities in my dash view and redo them, being they are my first draft.

when I look at my site through Google search or when I am at WP dash and click on my website name at the top to see what the viewer sees- that's when I see my article minus any reference to city or state (or short codes)

Thank you, Mark !

MisterE

Vicki, did you add any {curly bracket} shortcodes to your draft article?

Mark

Tara

Hi Mark, thanx for replying! As I was re-reading I found an response, Andres gave pertaining to my question in post #123. Your answer was not confusing but it helped me to approach the building of the site different, putting into perspective what you have shared with me.

Thank you again!
Tara

Vicki247

@Mark

Yes, I did the brackets as shown. WIth list of cities single file,etc.

Went through entire thread many times as well viewed video and PDF.

The 1st website showed different cities when I checked the "view" from Dash.

Even though I did the same thing to remaining websites, No city indications appeared on the 1 page that views on Google and my Dash view.

The only difference from my 1st and remaining drafts is that I changed theme from Heat Map to WP current WP theme, and maybe didn't have Yarrp on.

Maybe it's because I put in CMS Post Control?

The last site I used Captivator- but Hostgator says that link is broken and nothing shows up-its blank -I have yet to get backa reply from my support ticket.

Each time I need Hostgator to help me open core conversion because I cant get it to open after activate in 4 sites.

I just want to verify- I remember seeing that as long as it's a URL it will work- SO I can attach an entire 2nd website B to the Core conversion so that when they go to my 1st website A, they will see another website B?

But the optimization will be mainly from the 1st website A that core convertion is attached from?

THANK YOU Mark!

jagreen78

Nevermind....support ticket answered

MisterE

Vicki,

I wish I had an answer for you

About the only thing I could suggest at this time is to go back to a barebones setup.

Use a simple theme.
Activate All In One SEO Pack.
Activate Google XML Sitemaps.
When creating your draft article make sure you're in HTML mode.
Delete and redo your shortcodes. No spaces before the names in the lists.
Deactivate any other plugins with the exception of 'Privacy Policy' and 'Contact'.
And after writing or copying your draft article with the bracketed shortcodes go back over the shortcodes to make sure there are no spaces after and before your {shortcode name}. Within the brackets of course.
Leave the 'Number of Posts' to create blank as long as your cities list is the biggest.

Mark

Jim Schaub

I agree with you Mark. As a web designer, i recommend having the LPN site strictly for generating traffic (using CC) and not for a client site. You'll want the LPN site to be on an industry specific domain name (i.e. plumbersnewyork.com) that YOU own, not the client. That way, if they stop paying you, then you just take down their info and rent it to a competitor

Jim Schaub

Hi Vicki, as Mark mentioned, i would start out very simple at first. Just use the basic twentyten theme, LPN and Google XML sitemaps. The more you throw in the mix, the more you're going to confuse yourself. Trust me. This is going to be a trial and error type thing. Some things will work, some things won't, but at least you can experiment and find what works for you. Make sure that practice good onpage SEO as well. Master those 2 plugins and SEO and you'll make good money.

Eddie J

Just popping in before I go to work here in Florida. I see I'm 4 pages behind on reading....ARGH!!! lol

Things are running smoothly but I was wondering if anyone has had their Sitemap coming up looking like an RSS feed? Is there a setting in there that I may have configured wrong? I swear it looked ok before, but now it looks different. It's doesn't show the list of urls anymore,..it basically looks like a RSS feed.

Any sitemap pros put there?

Thanks
Eddie

freemind

I have confusion, red through the FAQ and more. If somebody could bring a bit of light :-)

I had my first site written without the tick on "no tag indexing" in AIOSEO
I did tick it now and I had deleted beside the actual 120 posts. But Google shows still mostely domain/tag/keyword pages from which 10 are ranking on the first page and do still show a page not a 404.

Non of the normal sites is ranking on the first page in Google.

Now I would like to lease this 10 out.

So before I do something I would like to make sure that it is right:

Should I use post revisions to make sure nothing is left?

With 404 to start installed would then all these links with domain.com/tag/kw link to the in 404 defined site ???????

I just would like to make it right.

Thanks in advance

Maria

eQuss: As far as I am aware using Adsense and Infolinks is not against any TOS.

Pupster: Rankerizer has issues with regard to backlinks, but gives good ranking data.

By default, whenever you update a post or page, WordPress saves a backup or 'revision' copy of the old page. There's no default limit to how many revisions are saved for each page, so these revision copies tend to build up over time, bloating your database unnecessarily. Use the free plugin “Delete Post Revisions”.

Michael: Re “Efficient Related Posts” Basically, current related post plugins build the list of related posts on the fly when the user needs to view it. Since blogs tend to be viewed far more often than they are updated (often hundreds of times more often), these queries are run way more times than they need to be. This not only wastes CPU cycles, but if the queries are slow (which they will be if you have 1000s of posts and tags) then the user gets a poor experience from slow page loads.
Efficient Related Posts moves all this effort into the admin section, finding related posts when a post is saved rather than when the user views it. The advantage is that if the query is slow it happens less often and the post writer is the one that waits rather than the user (which I think is WAY better).

Shaon Sha: You only want Google visiting your sites naturally. Giving Big G too much information can cause problems and result in manual revues, if you are using LPN and CC it’s not what you want! Google sees everything you see. Think about that...they know everything. Do you really want to be responsible for giving them that kind of power? Supposedly that's the trade off for the fact that...It's free.

Vicki247: I see your questions have now been answered and you have been given the help you need, sorry for the delay in replying.

Re: RSS Feeds: Go to the settings on your XML Sitemap page down for your site map URL, copy and paste it into the browser, get the page up and copy and paste all your URL’s into notepad. Then go to bulkping.com create a single RSS feed from all the URL’s then bulk ping them and add that URL to the Free Baclink Tool and create the stat links to it. Use the RSS Feed submit also.

If you've made errors and deletions using LPN you need 404 To Start, Permalink Finder, Broken Links, Delete Post Revisions.

If you are wondering what to do with the created pages check out this link, Tactic 8: "Offline $1000 Per Site Stealth Method" you can ignore the first part as we are using LPN. But the latter part is what you should be doing. I’m not suggesting you buy anything here, I’m not an affiliate, just use the free information for reference.

Cyberdetective

As stated correctly by Mr E you are creating these pages purely for the local ranking potential, not for the content itself. Once you find a client, you either chage the individual page to their requirements or redirect using CC. The problem with changing the page manually is retaining the SEO that put it in the position it's in. The easiest method is to use CC. It does suffer from a time lag however so you must ensure that the redirection site is bare bones, no complicated themes and widgets. Use the theme "Plain Fields" with nothing but the posts/pages. You only do this after you have found the client, you can use other monetization in the meantime as is.

Using CC will not cause you any issues as it's using "Lightbox Technology" so no TOS has been breached. What you need to avoid are manual revues so give Google the least amount of information you need to for this to function correctly. Don't create more than 1000 pages/posts at one time or per day you may attract flagging from unusual activity. If using shared hosting for different domains the same IP Address will appear. This is not set in stone, but you do not want all your work destroyed over something that could be avoided.

Thanks for all the nuggets, CD. Great stuff...

Cyberdetective

Hi Vicki247

I did reply to your PM. If you are new to this kind of thing as stated just stick to the basics, until you have the required knowledge, this won't take long you will soon pick it up.

I listed the plugins I use at the request of another member, these help maintain the rankings but are not necessary in the first instance. Concentrate on the basics until you have posts/pages appearing. On page SEO plays the important role so try and get that 100%.

On-Page SEO has to be understood before you can go and turn your new-found knowledge into cold, hard cash.

To make this term a little easier to understand imagine a finely-tuned engine that has several components to perform at its best. The same principles apply to On-Page SEO.

It's not just ONE thing you have to put into action, but several. Don't worry, after reading this you should have gained a good understanding of what to do if you don't already know. Let's start with title tags.

Title Tags

The first thing you need to do is include your target keyword in the <title>title<title/> tag of your site. I suggest you use the keyword in a sensible form and maybe even consider using a long tail keyword to match. That way you will get more traffic. The best option of course is to incorporate your main keyword into a long tail keyword that gets actual searches. You can check this with the GAKT (it's free).

Some webmasters use their keyword in their title tag (as is) which can actually repel visitors. Make them user friendly and you can't lose, as long as your keyword is in the tag. This little tip alone can increase your search click conversions by 100% or more

Page Headings

The next thing you need to do is use your keywords in the site's page headings. By using
<H1>, <H2>, <H3> tags you can further increase the keyword relevancy of your page.
If you use WordPress make sure the theme you use has these heading tags properly coded. Some themes don't and failing to pay attention here could lose you a substantial amount of search traffic over time. If in doubt, use an SEO plugin to help you rectify any possible issues. If you worry about keyword density here, don't. It's more important to use the keyword in these tags and if possible incorporate long tails and keyword variations to help build your site's authority.

Keywords in Content

Whenever you write content for your site be sure to use the keyword in the title, in the first sentence of the first paragraph, several times throughout the text and in the last sentence of the last paragraph. If you do this consistently, besides adding title and page tags you will see incredible results.

Another trick is to apply the following to your pages; every time you write new content do this once per article/post:

• Bold the keyword
• Italicize the keyword
• Underline the keyword

This will strengthen the authority of your site because when you mark keywords like this they will stand out to the bots who crawl your site. But PLEASE, don't do this excessively or you will get banned. Once each on every page is enough.

Keyword Density

Too many people worry too much about keyword density. While it is worth a mention here,you should be more concerned about publishing quality content that is actually user friendly.

If you use bots and automation software to publish content you will eventually be excluded from Google's index – guaranteed! Google is dedicated to clean their search engine from spam and crap and they do so aggressively all the time.

I have always done well by aiming for a density of around 2-3%. This means your keyword is featured twice, or three times for every 100 words of text. Just focus on writing quality content naturally, spike your content with keywords and most importantly use related keywords (LSI) and you will do well.

How Long Should Your Content Be?

In recent months, search engines have started to rank long content above short, spammy looking content simply for that reason. You are best advised to opt for at least 500 words. I actually prefer to go higher still. This also has the added benefit that you can incorporate long tail keywords into your text without sounding spammy, or over the top.

Optimized Images

Every single page on your domain should ideally feature one optimized image. This little On-Page SEO addition can help you outrank a competitor with his own optimized site if he fails to optimize his images. You do this by placing your keyword into the image's <alt> tag. You can see these tags by looking at the HTML code version of your website. In WordPress you can do this from within your post and page WYSIWYG editor at the top right hand side corner.

Optimizing your images will also give you more traffic since many people use image searches on Google to find relevant content.

Internal Linking

You'd be well advised to always use internal links where possible. When linking to your sub pages make sure to use the keyword of that page. So if you optimize that particular page for the keyword: how to buy pink widgets in new york, make sure to use the exact keyword to link. The resulting page would become a sub page of your domain.
Another thing I have found to work really well is to use the long tail keyword on sub pages and link it back (anchor text) to the home page (also called index page). This can get you a double listing on Google.

Outbound Links

Outbound links are links you point to pages outside your domain. In order not to dilute your Google juice you want to make these <nofollow> using the appropriate tag. The more <dofollow> links you use to point to websites outside your domain, the more “juice” you will lose in the process. It's the fastest way to dilute your site's existing authority.

Sorry about that guys been busy, i was deleting some old vids from my screencast account and didnt realize i accidently deleted these. but there back up.

for anyone watching these vids, keep some things in mind.....

#1 This was just a test account, i haven't done anything since i set this particular site it up. and a few of my rankings have dropped. but thats to be expected, as the niche your in and if you've done simple seo (which i havent) to keep the rankings. You already have a leg up by having alot of your paged on page 1.

#2 Also keep in mind, these vids were done BEFORE the updated version of LPN

TheGreyling

Hi,

I've a question with regard to Adsense.

I haven't used Adsense with this plugin yet - and I'm a bit nervous about getting flagged by Google. Do I add the adsense code to my original draft and then publish the posts/pages containing the code - or is it better to publish first and add the adsense afterwards? The only problem with that is that if I've produced 100's or (according to previous advice) up to 1,000 pages, then am I going to have to add it manually to all those pages or posts? Surely not.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

GregRom

You can use Adsense, is not a problem, and you dont need to add your Adsense Code to each POST, Go to WP/Appearance/EDITOR > find your location, Usually in Single Post, Sidebar, Footer, Header .... you can put your Code where you want, its up to you... And also, take a look at your THeme, some themes come with Adsense integration in Main Code, you just need to go to Editor, find Adsense.php file and put your CODE, and your Adds will be displayed in all your Posts/Pages (Where you'll put them).

Thanks

Greg

GregRom

i have a few sites with this Theme: StudioPress and Adsense is integrated in Code, look here:

adsense_sidebar160.php
adsense_sidebar336.php
adsense_top.php

So, i just need to Copy/Paste my Adsense Code in each of this file, and im good to go. If you use some of this Themes, dont forget about Add Size, if its sidebar 336, dont put sidebar 160...

Thanks

Hi

For Adsense use "All In One Adsense And VPN". Place a 336 X 280 Text Ad Top Center, they must be above the fold. Don't put them on the Privacy Page etc. Don't forget to put 0 in the donations box.

Put in text ads also from "Infolinks" to increase revenue. Cleck the Adwords Keyword Tool External to make sure the Keyword/Keyphrase actually gets some local searhes and the CPC is $1+ minimum 100 searches. Make sure the posts/pages load fairly quickly to avoid a high bounce rate. For Adsense use the Flexibility 3 Theme. If you follow the right path you really cannot fail!

And remember the adage "You Can Have Everything You Want In Life - All You Need Do Is Help Others To Do The Same"!

I agree..just watched the videos by Nellco ..much appreciated. I got some good resources out of it. This has worked well for existing sites but having less success with my 1st new site I set up for lead generation site rental model.

What is the deal with the other side? Is this going to turn into a separate community?

MisterE

The 'Other Side' is in reference to a private, paid community for the benefit of LPN users. The potential of LPN is such that Jeremy, Don and Andres would not be able to keep up with all the support and requests for help and outlining profitable business models. A private community will allow us to share in private, information that will provide an opportunity for us to all succeed.

The WSO will be closed, and LPN will be taken off the market so that we can reap the largest benefit without diluting the SERPs.

It will be up to us users to make this work. I personally think that Jeremy, Andres and Don should not be bothered with questions or requests. It should be up to us to provide the info.

They, have stated that they will still support LPN and update the program as needed if at all.

For the most part this was a user requested direction.......... Because we are all Stingy with LPN

Mark

Will McKay

As much as I agree that it's great that people are so helpful in this thread, I don't really like it so much when it doesn't relate to LPN in the slightest.

I'd rather people posted their n00b questions in the relevant forum for their answers.

Apologies in advance if that sounds harsh, but I've found myself sitting shaking my head in amazement at some of the stuff being asked, and answered, in here. There are other places to learn the basics of SEO. I mean seriously, if someone doesn't know about title tags or meta descriptions then giving them LPN is like giving a cow a gun.

I'm all for helping and being helped, but lets keep it relevant.

Take no notice of me, I'm just p*ssed that yet again I've had a notification about a new post on this thread and log in to find that it's not Jeremy telling us we've went private.

Cyberdetective

No disrespect but those asking the basic questions can't expect the creator to give help and support in that respect. In the absence of the promised private community and the fact the creator appears too busy to give much support really these relative newbies have little option but to pose questions here!

I agree with you that these questions are really unrelated to the thread and those without basic SEO skills will not make this work. In my view this thread should have been closed some time ago and a new community created for the purpose of resolving such issues. But it has'nt been has it? So it's degenerated into a help and advice thread for all marketing methods with many not really having a clue what it's about.

If you are prepared to sell such a tool to anyone then you have to expect such questions to arise. Jeremy & Co what's happening? Help & advice needs to be taken elsewhere.

Regards
CD

Jim Schaub

If you don't want the tags to show up, you'll want to make sure that "no tag indexing" is checked before the posts are built. If you built the posts and then clicked "no tag indexing" you'll want to delete all posts then rebuild them. As far as them showing up in Google, they might be there for a little while until Google decides to de-index them. Definitely use the 404 to start plugin so you don't lose any traffic. My suggestion is to keep playing with it, until you have exactly hat you want and then let Google takes it's course. It may take some time, but it's better to make it correct, then scattered.

sterling90

Thanks..thats what I was hoping for as well.
