thanks, mrmist…

what other plugin aside from All-in-one SEO could I use to enter META for individual posts?

Also, “things like is_post…” doesn’t help me much, sorry, I’m not a PHP wiz and don’t know how to do that…

Some help would be great, I have a nice post that’s getting a lot of hits but the META isn’t correct (it is the meta for the index.php page)

Thanks!!!!

I’m with you on this one patty, same here. I’ve set the color schemes manually, just get the ugly blue…

Perhaps a bug…

Elaine, from what I understand “tags” are keywords that you associate your posts with. Categories are simply “the sections in the supermarket”. You have a few of those but you could have thousands of tags.

Each post should be tagged with keywords associated to that particular post.

What I don’t understand is should All-in-one SEO pack be used in addition to Simple Tags. Finally, tagging posts in Simple Tags creates a new page for that particular tag.

If you have a post tagged with “obama, president, stimulus, america” those four “tags” will have individual pages created for them.

The problem I have with this is that users coming in from search land on these blank and relatively DULL pages instead of the homepage or particular posts.

I don’t know if this is because of Simple Tags or just the way wordpress is structured.

While some people have chimed in on tags and etc. I have yet to understand the best approach for tagging articles (whether its SEO pack, Simple Tags, or both)

Also, do fellow WordPress users recommend using SEO Pack and Simple Tags or to get rid of one or the other for the best results…

Thanks for your reply, Otto.

Is it ok for all the /tag/ pages to be indexed in Google?

Would you redirect all the /tag/ pages to individual posts with those tags or redirect them to the Homepage? Or, would you leave them as is.

Thanks

thanks, samboll

Hey iridiax,

Thanks for your input. Everything seems to run fine and I haven’t noticed any errors in Safari, Firefox, Opera, IE7 or IE8.

As for the unclosed div tags — would I fix those in individual posts and/or widgets (incl. adsense manager (where I copy+past the google code))?

Thanks!

Hi curis,

Seems to me (I’m no expert) that a lot of these errors are due to advertising, adsense, amazon widgets, and maybe everything I’ve copied+pasted in the AdSense Manager plugin… ?

Here’s a link to my latest post:

Also, here is a list of my plugins and how they’re used:

1) AdSense Manager – for adsense ads
2) Super-Cache – Super Cache enabled

Thanks for the help

Is it better to ask Google to remove the /tags/ pages directory or just manually redirect all of them to the home page?

Also, I still don’t understand why the /tags/ sub-directory pages are listed. I checked the Site Map generator, nothing in there checked for tags page.

I posted a new post last night and it appeared in Google search, but right below, the /tags/ page for that TAG appeared as well…

Strange and rather annoying actually…

Thanks a lot for your response, Otto.

That makes sense (I guess?) I added analytics a few days ago via the Google Analytics WordPress Plugin.

I’m assuming this is normal?

Right, I understand that. I do have a tag cloud that is tagged with the post tags AND I use All in one SEO Pack.

My question is why did Google index 100+ pages that are in the subdirectory /tags/… Now, I have had to manually enter 100 redirects for these separate URL’s…

Here’s what I mean:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww.atomicsub.net&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

Should I ask Google to remove all the pages in the /tag/ subdirectory or just keep the redirects… ?

Thank you ponchito, you clarified a few things for me.

I’ve enabled Super-Cache and WP-cache, let’s see what happens.

Thanks, samboll.

What is the difference between:

$output .= ‘ <a href=”‘. get_permalink()
.”\”>$more_link_text”;

or

$output .= ‘ <a href=”‘. get_permalink()
.'”>$more_link_text’;
