Thanks.

I’ll give you link to sample blog post. Is that ok?

You can see Kubernetes terms and others at https://www.rokpoto.com/kubernetes-deployments-replicasets-demo/.

They are formatted as code. If they are formatted as non-code, they are counted as key phrase, but it decreases readability.

Is it correct that they should be formatted as non-code for good SEO?

I understand Kubernetes term formatted as code won’t getting counted by readability. If they are formatted as non-code, they are counted as key phrase, but it decreases readability.

We understand that sometimes it’s tempting to attempt to get all green lights on the SEO analysis. However, these are general guidelines, not strict rules that will hurt your ranking. If you feel your page is properly formatted and has a good user experience, then these warnings can be safely ignored and you should not sacrifice user experience to get the green bullet.

Ok, thanks.

Is it correct that terms formatted as code are not counted as key phrases by search engines as Yoast suggests? (because it doesn’t count them)

If it is, then i should not format terms as code i’d like the posts to rank for, correct?

Search engines will still be able to detect those terms as plain text even though they are formatted. This means formatted text as code would also not even affect your page and site SEO and ranking.

It’s just the Yoast SEO that for some reason excluding them from seeing as Focus Keyphrase. We understand it is confusing. We’re internally testing this issue and will create a bug report to address this.

Thanks a lot!
