Focus keyword problems with "forward slash" character
-
Hello, sorry if this is a known bug, but I didn’t see anything specific on the first few pages.
Prior to the 3.x updates I had no problems with SEO finding my focus keyword in my post, description, etc. My site reviews date specific television programming, so I’ve previously used the following keyword format (for example) “showname 10/31/15” as my focus keyword as clearly that is the keyword many of my competitors are using for their sites.
Before the update, SEO would find the keywords and I would get a green ranking on the posts each time. After updating to 3.0.1 the other day, SEO had problems finding the keyword, so my articles ranked yellow as I’d get red lights for any criteria ranking based around my keyword. When I run the “recalculate” option in “Tools” suddenly everything goes back to green, but if I edit a post, it temporarily goes back to yellow until I run “recalculate” again.
I tried switching my keyword to “showname 10-31-15” but ran into the same issues with a dash as I have been having the last few days with the forward slash character.
I was hoping the 3.03 update would fix this as I saw “Fixes a bug where digits were not analyzed well in the content, causing focus keywords or keyphrases with digits to no longer be matched.” in the changelog, but I’m still experiencing this issue.
