    WordPress All In One SEO vs WP SEO by Yoast

    I'd been using All In One SEO for years, but everyone kept praising WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin as the latest, greatest.

    I took a dive of 2/3rds the traffic after making this switch on one blog. That's a pretty hefty loss. The biggest change was in Google Images traffic.

      Regardless of SEO plugins used, I always hand type alt and title tags for links and images. It helps tremendously.

          If you don't know how to properly setup the yoast seo plugin than don't use it. But if you do it's "best" one plugin is exchanging few plugins sitemap+all in one or pinger etc.. As i said there are a lot of tweaks in the yoast plugin so, all in one seo is plug and play..

              Do you mean there's a lot of work involved in using Yoasts plugin that All In One does for you automatically?

                  I was using the "Ultimate SEO" plugin for awhile but switched to Yoast and I'm thankful I made the switch. It helps if you read up on setting up Yoast with optimal settings for your website...I used Yoast for awhile on it's default settings and noticed a positive effect on my traffic when I took the time to configure Yoast.

                          You know the "Titles" section of Yoast or whatever that section is called? I started actually using it and putting their template/codes to use so it would create meta information for my blog posts and on some blogs I would create individual seo/meta for each post...before that I was just making sure my blog homepage had meta descriptions and all that stuff. It wasn't until I started checking out some of my blog posts when I realized that they had no meta/seo done to them and Google would have them indexed with some funny descriptions sometimes.

                          Stuff like that is probably common sense to most webmasters or bloggers who have been using Yoast for awhile so I felt like I retard when I started checking out all the options Yoast has available.

                              Yeah, I do "force re-write titles" too, plus the meta and other stuff. Was thinking maybe you had tinkered with nofollowing/noindexing tag or category pages, since I never did that myself.

                                      I think you just need to discover its full potential.
