However, the <em>Whitman Archive</em> explicitly tries NOT to be unduly limited by author-based conceptions of what is relevant, so we include reviews and criticism that no one would claim should go in a traditional \"collected works of [name your favorite author].\"\n \nYou ask a really interesting question about the boundaries of the <em>Archive</em>.  In a sense: are there any? and if so how do you establish them?  The question reminds me of a great remark Henry James made in <em>Roderick Hudson</em>: \"Really, universally, relations stop nowhere, and the exquisite problem of the artist is eternally but to draw, by a geometry of his own, the circle within which thy shall happily <em>appear</em> to do so.\"  Ultimately, no doubt, everything in the world is related to everything else, if we had only the wit or knowledge to understand all the connections.  Weather patterns in Patagonia probably were somehow connected to how Whitman wrote his poetry.  But some things are more clearly and closely connected than others.  So in constructing something like the <em>Whitman Archive</em>, with limited time, money, and staff, it makes sense to work on the most important things first, to establish the most important connections, to fill the known scholarly gaps, and to respond to what we know (not enough) about the interests of our various audiences.',0,'1','Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.1 Safari/533.17.8','',0,7,'psWatsotaHwyuortsiyow'),(103,88,'Kenneth M.

A couple of well-funded private libraries are resistant to having parts of their collections displayed on the web. They are working on a more proprietary and protective model.”<a href=\"#_ftn1\" rel=\"nofollow\">[1]</a>\r\n \r\nIndeed, Ken here identifies a significant gulf in the archival world, between those archivists and their repositories who are committed to expanding access to and use of their holdings to the widest possible audience on the one hand and those archivists and repositories who hew to an early 20th century notion of the “moral defence” (it comes from a British writer) of archives encompassing a rigorous gatekeeper role for our profession.  It is the same tradition whence derives vestigial but still enforced policies that only “qualified scholars” be permitted to have access to a particular repository.  Where it intersects the digital 21st century universe, this defensive tradition is adamant about not “losing control” of facsimiles of material in its holdings, regardless of whether the copyright in that material expired decades ago.  \r\n \r\nThe practical grounding of such defensiveness is the concern that repositories would otherwise see their on-site visitation gradually drop to zero, since researchers had access to good-quality copies of the material that once made the repository indispensible.  To date statistics suggest just the opposite has been occurring, that the more material is digitized the more on-site statistics increase:  because even when an entire collection is digitized and placed on the web, interested researchers still have (or, likely, have for the first time) reason to visit the repository to take advantage of all the corollary collections that have yet to be scanned.  The “protective” archives are apt to find themselves and their small portions of otherwise digitized collections increasingly ignored by users both on and off line.\r\n \r\nThere are, actually, several factors joining to force “proprietary” repositories to re-examine their philosophy and model,<a href=\"#_ftn2\" rel=\"nofollow\">[2]</a> but the existence of projects such as the <em>Whitman Archive</em> is part of that confluence.  And there are other issues that the <em>Archive</em> will force bricks and mortar repositories to re-examine.  One is the tradition of digitizing “gems” and patron requests versus a growing minority of repositories who are turning to digitizing only entire folders and sometimes full series or even entire collections; the <em>Whitman Archive</em> and others like it suggest powerfully that there is a large “market” for organic collections.  Less clear is the impact of digital archives on internal allocation of repository resources—what is more important now, digitizing entire collections or acquiring new ones, creating curriculum units to help students interpret sources, or improving capabilities to serve on-site patrons?  \r\n \r\nIf we pay close attention to one another—that is, the on-line archives and the earth-bound repositories—we have some interesting discussions ahead of us.  <em>Archive:  A Digital Journal</em> will give us a venue for those discussions.  I look forward to seeing the journal and the conversations evolve.\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<a href=\"#_ftnref1\" rel=\"nofollow\">[1]</a> See “<a href=\"http://www.whitmanarchive.org/about/history.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">History of the Project</a>,” <em>The Walt Whitman Archive</em>, part of the project’s substantial “About the <em>Archive</em>” section.\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n<a href=\"#_ftnref2\" rel=\"nofollow\">[2]</a> See, for example, Mark A.

as an archivist in a university setting I have a particular concern about how we are perceived by faculty and academic administrators.  I’m less concerned about earning labels like “intellectual” and “scholarly” than I am about being able to convey a more accurate understanding of the theory and practice of creating and administering (or curating) archives.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" rel=\"nofollow\">[2]</a> To concentrate on the portions of my profession that seem most germane to the current discussion, please permit me to focus on archivists gathering and cataloging sources, activities which are, to use Claire’s terms, service (or resource) for others but not perceived as scholarly endeavors in their own right.\r\n \r\nAs it happens, archivists themselves viewed their profession and its activities entirely as service for others until approximately the Second World War. <a href=\"#_ftn3\" rel=\"nofollow\">[3]</a>  The most famous and influential exposition of this position was given by a government records archivist in England, Hilary Jenkinson.<a href=\"#_ftn4\" rel=\"nofollow\">[4]</a>  His “moral defence” of archives, to over-simplify it, was the idea that archivists were responsible for acquiring an essentially pre-defined set of records, describing them with utmost objectivity, and doing or saying nothing that might prejudice a researcher’s interpretation of those records.<a href=\"#_ftn5\" rel=\"nofollow\">[5]</a>    \r\n \r\nWriting after WWII, an employee of the US National Archives, Theodore Schellenberg, turned Jenkinson’s conception of the profession on its head, and his books continue to dominate archival theory and practice in this country.<a href=\"#_ftn6\" rel=\"nofollow\">[6]</a>  Arguably the most important change Schellenberg brought to archives is also arguably the most likely reason for someone to consider archival work “intellectual.”  Rather than being “collectors,” Schellenberg’s archivists became “selectors,” making rational, informed, but ultimately subjective decisions about what primary source materials were going to be acquired and preserved by a repository and which were not.<a href=\"#_ftn7\" rel=\"nofollow\">[7]</a>  Taking it as a now ineluctable fact that archivists dramatically define the sources available for scholarly research, I suppose we must all at least hope that there is a great deal of intellectual activity taking place in my profession.\r\n \r\nThis archival selection occurs both passively and actively, I should explain.  Passively, archivists make decisions concerning whether collections offered to their repositories are accepted or declined—and, if accepted, which portions are retained or discarded.<a href=\"#_ftn8\" rel=\"nofollow\">[8]</a>  Actively, archivists define collecting policies and then search for the creators of records (individuals, families, organizations, businesses, governmental units) most likely to fulfill the goals of those policies.  We solicit donations (or, if we’re institutional archivists, we ask units to transfer inactive records to our unit), sometimes over the course of a half century,<a href=\"#_ftn9\" rel=\"nofollow\">[9]</a> sometimes directly shaping the very records a prospective donor creates or keeps based on what we’ve told him we want.\r\n \r\nThough selection may be our most intellectually demanding activity, much else that archivists do requires the type of learning and engagement <em>“for which scholars gain credit.”<a href=\"#_ftn10\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>[10]</strong></a></em>  If, “<em>As all digital humanists are aware, the act of marking up text is in itself one of scholarly interpretation,</em>” so too I must venture, is the act of arranging collections of what can be completely disorganized masses of dozens of boxes of records into coherent aggregations of folders and series that are intellectually described and physically organized to make them accessible for researchers to use.  Further, archival finding aids, in which collections of as much as several thousand boxes are summarized, analyzed, and given context through often detailed biographical sketches or organizational histories, reasonably mirror the “scholarly introductions, annotations, and textual histories” that Ken indicates give intellectual heft to the <em>Whitman Archive</em> and others like it.\r\n \r\nI strongly believe that if the actual work of archivists and special collections curators were better understood, that it would be impossible to<em> </em>ask,<em> “does the name ‘archive’ under value the complex nature of what is being achieved in digital resources such as this?”</em>  On the contrary, I think the <em>Whitman Archive</em> site’s editors were even more accurate than they may have known in choosing the name, and that the name becomes more accurate still as the editors wrangle with issues such as which and how many “disciples” to include and which to exclude. Selection, analysis, structure, contextualization—all these are as fundamental to archival work as they are to the impressive Whitman digital “archive”.\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<a href=\"#_ftnref1\" rel=\"nofollow\">[1]</a> Kenneth M.

I think that in doing so they are also pushing the definition of intellectual work, by asserting that those choices of presentation are active and interpretive—you cover this pretty well in your essay. My friend Jen has been doing some interesting work lately in which she interrogates the fact that scholars place a higher value on original written work than anything else, followed perhaps by curation and the compilation of edited volumes, with the act of reading ranking lowest of all. This implies that there are fewer intellectual claims being made in projects that do not culminate in the publication of the scholar’s original material. Jen wants to destabilize this hierarchy by theorizing reading as a productive act, especially with the aid of digital media in which the reader can leave footprints such as comments (like this one!), bringing the writer, editor, and reader more on par. I like your point that we need to consider the level of active scholarship that goes into curation, and I think that you and Jen are part of the same conversation.

I am now the acting Head of Department (Chair) of the only UK Department of Information Studies (iSchool) to have an archives programme so if I were I would be undermining my own institution. What I was trying to say is that, whether it\'s right or wrong, this is the perception in the scholarly profession, and that perception drives questions of reward, tenure, promotion etc. Digital resource creation is also similarly undervalued in many such processes. So what I am trying to interrogate is why such assumptions are made, and very much not lining myself up with those who make them.\nHaving said that I think the discussion of the scholarly process involed in creating an archive is fascinating and extremely valuable to those of us not expert in the area.',0,'1','Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0','',0,0,NULL),(153,127,'Claire Warwick','c.warwick@ucl.ac.uk','','87.113.75.197','2011-04-21 18:19:28','2011-04-21 18:19:28','Thanks for the pointer.

How do we decide what gets funded: things that have broad or deep usage? Thus do we allow an informal canon to develop and fund things that have a lot of usage, say on Shakespeare, WWI, Civil Rights etc because these are the subjects that lots of people are interested in and study at school and university? Or do we fund a resource that might have many fewer users who are expert, and who depend on this for their research, and may indeed make deeper and more complex use of it? Perhaps the Whitman Archive is the ideal mid point: it presents resources that are usable by a broad community, but are also important for expert scholarship. I think in future we need to think a great deal more about these issues. Indeed as a result of our work people applying for money from funding bodies for the humanities and cultural heritage are now increasingly asked to discuss possible types and levels of use in their case for support.

What about Emily Dickinson for example, or of course Joyce? Even the writer on whom I worked in a former life, Richard Crashaw, is better done digitally in many senses because there is no truly authoritative copy text. All his English poems were printed after his exile from England or his death, and there are various different revised versions of the poems in subsequent editions. We know he didn\'t see any of these through the press and we cannot really be certain he even edited the later ones. So what would be more appropriate than a digital edition where all versions are given equal status?

(In the sentence that you point to I probably should have used the word “and” instead of “or.”) Rather, I was pursuing the thought that an ordering of information might be conceived as the embryo of narrative, with potential for development, and that the point at which one becomes the other can be a fuzzy boundary. The OED defines a narrative as “an account of a series of events, facts, etc., given in order and with the establishing of connections between them.” I suppose an “ordering of information,” of the type one would pull from a database, is a set of facts that have some order but often lack explicit linear connections. I would argue, however, that the way a user grabs information through a database moves towards the formation of connections: because she must access her data via defined avenues (think specific search terms, menus, etc.,) rather than dipping into a raw pool of unsorted data, any information that she views contains threads of connection pre-formed by metadata. I would not argue that this constitutes a fully formed narrative, but I would like to trouble the notion that database and narrative are fundamentally opposed.\n<!--EndFragment-->',0,'1','Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.19.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.3 Safari/533.19.4','',0,0,'pAtsnoattpieWWAceEFdhatsdIKPaIhihwwcmiknwtfcBdqenmtfdwLrsoeapcnhiOiifpsahempiencfiTmirpfuStamueiBlhnmmvptsbsgibmewehohctcvlwBfsw'),(161,136,'Evan McGonagill','evan.mcgonagill@gmail.com','','74.88.116.124','2011-04-24 18:27:59','2011-04-24 18:27:59','I absolutely agree that it is not limited to Whitman!

I started hunting down the function that enabled this functionality on the post by searching for all the filters that ran on the template tag &#8220;the_content&#8221;. I found that on line 1056 in the file /wp-includes/media.php the following code was called:</p>\n<pre class=\"prettyprint\"> \n&#47;&#47; Attempts to embed all URLs in a post\nif ( get_option(&#39;embed_autourls&#39;) )\n    add_filter( &#39;the_content&#39;, array(&#038;$this, &#39;autoembed&#39;), 8 );</pre>\n<p>The method autoembed is part of a class called WP_Embed which is defined as &#8220;API for easily embedding rich media such as videos and images into content.&#8221;</p>\n<p>So this was the function I need to pass my custom field content into to get the auto embed urls. I discover this was class was in the $GLOBALS array. so now all I had to do was call the method. Here&#8217;s the code.</p>\n<pre class=\"prettyprint\"> \nif(isset($GLOBALS&#91;&#39;wp_embed&#39;&#93;))\n    $content = $GLOBALS&#91;&#39;wp_embed&#39;&#93;-&gt;autoembed($content);</pre>\n<p>This would run your content through the <a href=\"http://oembed.com/\" target=\"_blank\">oEmbed</a> process of getting the html for the media urls.</p>\n<p>If anyone knows of a better way to do this please let me know in the comments.</p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http://www.seedprod.com/how-to-enable-wordpress-embeds-on-custom-fields/\">How to Enable WordPress Embeds on Custom Fields</a> appeared first on <a href=\"http://www.seedprod.com\">SeedProd</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"http://www.seedprod.com/how-to-enable-wordpress-embeds-on-custom-fields/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"3\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:4;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:41:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n		\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:37:\"Coming Soon Pro Version 3 Walkthrough\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:62:\"http://www.seedprod.com/coming-soon-pro-version-3-walkthrough/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:71:\"http://www.seedprod.com/coming-soon-pro-version-3-walkthrough/#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 17 Jul 2012 02:24:44 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"Blog\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:30:\"http://www.seedprod.com/?p=136\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:203:\"<p></p><p>The post <a href=\"http://www.seedprod.com/coming-soon-pro-version-3-walkthrough/\">Coming Soon Pro Version 3 Walkthrough</a> appeared first on <a href=\"http://www.seedprod.com\">SeedProd</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:11:\"John Turner\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";a:1:{s:7:\"encoded\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:537:\"<p><span class=\'embed-youtube\' style=\'text-align:center;

Since that time I have have made several distinctions as to what is important when it comes to building and selling a premium WordPress plugins and what separates it from the thousands of other plugins out there.</p>\n<h3 id=\"1_customer_support_should_be_your_top_priority\"><strong>1. Customer support should be your top priority</strong></h3>\n<p>When you sell a WordPress plugin you are really in the business of selling support since the software is open source. Therefore you should do everything in your power to make sure you offer the best customer support possible.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Answer emails as soon as you get them.</li>\n<li>Be super courteous and nice</li>\n<li>Try to go the extra mile</li>\n<li>Try to make sure all your customers have a great experience</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Providing great customer support also has some great side benefits. You get tons of testimonials and word of mouth referrals for your product.</p>\n<h3 id=\"2_use_real_helpdesk_software\"><strong>2. Use real helpdesk software</strong></h3>\n<p>I see so many premium theme and plugin shops using forums or pure email for support. Forums are awful support platforms and usually the notifications and response times are horrendous.</p>\n<p>I guess so many shops use them because WordPress provides supports this way. The only difference is WordPress.org is a community and you are a private business selling a product. You should be the one supporting the product directly.</p>\n<p>I once posted a message in a support forum and I was then told expect a reply in 24-48 hrs. Are you kidding me, 24hrs to 48hrs. And if I have a follow up reply I have to potentially wait this out again…</p>\n<p>From this experience alone I swore off forums as a tool to provide support to my customers. Plus forums offer no reports on response times, way to identify re-occurring questions, incidents per user, and all the other features I think that I should provide when providing smart customer support.</p>\n<p>There are many supports platforms out there and some starting at no cost. Using dedicated support software should be a no brainer.</p>\n<p>Here are a few:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Uservoice <a href=\"http://uservoice.com\">http://uservoice.com</a></li>\n<li>Zendesk <a href=\"http://zendesk.com\">http://zendesk.com</a></li>\n<li>Tender <a href=\"http://tenderapp.com/\">http://tenderapp.com/</a></li>\n<li>Ticksy <a href=\"https://www.ticksy.com/\">https://www.ticksy.com/</a></li>\n<li>Charm <a href=\"http://charmhq.com/\">http://charmhq.com/</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"3_use_the_wordpress_settings_api_and_native_ui_css_classes\"><strong>3. Use the WordPress Settings API and native UI CSS classes</strong></h3>\n<p>When I built the initial version of my coming soon plugin I used the settings api to build it. In fact the free version of my plugin still uses it. The <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_API\">Settings API</a> is WordPress’s native api that allows admin pages containing settings forms to be managed semi-automatically.</p>\n<p>I love the Settigns API because it super stable and reliable. I made the huge mistake of using <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/option-tree/\">OptionTree</a> as framework in Version 2 of my plugin. Now option tree does work as advertised and has lots of feature for beginners to get an option page up quick, but I found it to be super unstable in the “real WordPress world”.</p>\n<p>Some of the issues with the OptionTree framework I’ve had after stepping away form the Settings API include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>It uses ajax for saving settings. In the “real WordPress world”, a plugin from any other developer can break your plugin, especially javascript. So when you use js as your main way to post back your settings you open yourself up to a tons potential issues. I’ve never had this issue when using the Settings API.</li>\n<li>It uses jquery’s ui tab css, which tons of others developers use and more than likely are leaking their css onto your settings screen and screwing up your display.</li>\n<li>It uses a round about method for escapeing quotes and other characters using addslashes and stripslashes as opposed to using WordPress’s builtin <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Data_Validation\">data validation</a> functions.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The issues above account for more than 50% of my helpdesk request. Needless to says I’m switching back to the WordPress Settings API for Version 3. I’ve also started a plugin starter framework project, ‘_wpseed’, that wraps the Settings API for easier field and validation creation you can <a href=\"https://github.com/seedprod/_wpseed\">check it out</a> on Github.</p>\n<h3 id=\"4_namespace_everything_and_i_mean_everything\"><strong>4. Namespace everything and I mean everything</strong></h3>\n<p>Every plugin or theme developer should know that prefixing is the golden rule when it comes to WordPress development, but what they should also know is that this includes more than just prefixing your variables, functions and classes.</p>\n<p>You should also be prefix your CSS classes and your 3rd party scripts.</p>\n<p>All your css classes should start with .my_plugin_prefix. For example:</p>\n<p><code class=\"prettyprint\">\n\n.seed-csp3 p{\n\nfont-size:14px;\n\n}\n\n</code></p>\n<p>This way you are only targeting the elements you need to style. You should properly <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script\">enqueue scripts</a> so they only display on the page you need, but that’s another post. And if you’re using jQuery UI, please use their css scope function when building your theme.</p>\n<p>Prefixing 3rd Party scripts is another gotcha. I use <a href=\"http://leafo.net/lessphp/\">lessphp</a> in my coming soon plugin to do color calculation which I found out that many others do as well.</p>\n<p>Using ‘class_exist’ was not enough to avoid conflicts. What if you have need a latter version of class but the old class version was already loaded. Or what if the other developer does not use class exist?</p>\n<p>To avoid conflict I rename the file with my prefix, so lessc.inc.php becomes seed-lessc.inc.php then I prefix the 3rd party class “lessc” with my prefix as well like “seed_lessc”. This ensures I’m loading the class and version I intended.</p>\n<p>Well that’s it. Hopefully this will help other developers avoid some of the mistakes I’ve had so far.

This one brings support for yet another few plugins <em>and</em> some more: two new video hosting platforms: Wistia and Vippy.</p><h2>Wistia support: embedding <em>and</em> SEO</h2><p><img\nclass=\"alignright size-full wp-image-55143\" title=\"Wistia logo\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/wistia-logo-e1352799587361.png\" alt=\"Wistia logo\" width=\"200\" height=\"54\" />The support for <a\nhref=\"http://wistia.com\">Wistia</a> that is added in this release was on the list from day one of this plugins release. It was one of the most highly requested video platforms to be supported, but there was an issue: there&#8217;s no official Wistia plugin other than a small thing that preserves the embed code from being mangled, even though Wistia itself <em>does</em> support oEmbed.</p><p>So I decided to go the extra mile and add oEmbed support for Wistia through the plugin, which, in itself is fairly easy. But then I found out that oEmbed in WordPress really has <em>no</em> way to filter the URL you&#8217;re sending to the video provider, and I needed to add variables to get the SEO version of the embed code. A lot of thinking later, I decided, heck, let&#8217;s try it with the normal embed code. And it worked, miraculously, Google found it and properly showed it as a video.</p><p>WordPress 3.5 adds a filter for the oEmbed URL, which means that when you use a URL in the editor, I can add parameters to that to further optimize, so we&#8217;ll do that further down the line. For now, this update makes it easy to embed Wistia videos, just drop the URL to the video on one line and it should embed the video properly, recognize it in Video SEO and do all the optimization for you. Gotta love simplicity.</p><h2>Vippy support</h2><p><img\nclass=\"alignright size-full wp-image-55149\" style=\"padding: 5px;\" title=\"Vippy logo\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/logo-vippy.png\" alt=\"Vippy logo\" width=\"116\" height=\"45\" />Another video platform that had been requested literally on day one of the plugin being released was <a\nhref=\"http://vippy.co/\">Vippy</a>, requested by my SEOktoberfest buddy Geir. His colleague from <a\nhref=\"http://www.metronet.no/\">Metronet</a>, well known WordPress developer Ronald Huereca, patched the plugin to automatically support Vippy when the <a\nhref=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vippy/\">Vippy WordPress plugin</a> is being used.</p><h2>Supported plugins &amp; themes</h2><p>This release adds support for two video embedding plugins, <a\nhref=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/\">FlowPlayer</a> and <a\nhref=\"http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-video-lightbox-plugin-display-videos-in-a-fancy-lightbox-overlay-2700\">WP Video Lightbox</a>. Which means we now support 12 video plugins. We now also support the embed codes for YouTube and Vimeo videos from the popular <a\nhref=\"http://weavertheme.com/\">Weaver theme</a>, even though I think it&#8217;s unwise to use those, because when you switch themes, your videos will no longer play.</p><h2>What else do you want?</h2><p>If you&#8217;re a user of the plugin: what else would you like to see?

A lot of people have asked me about the how and why of the selling and I thought it&#8217;d be a good idea to outline that in a post.</p><h2>Why sell premium WordPress plugins?</h2><p>Of course we got some backlash for making a plugin available to the world and <em>daring</em> to charge for it. Unfortunately there are still people in the WordPress community who think everything should be free. What they don&#8217;t understand is that not everything <em>can</em> be free.</p><p>I&#8217;m the author of several <em>highly</em> popular WordPress plugins. My <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/google-analytics/\">Google Analytics plugin</a> is nearing 4 million downloads and my <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/\">WordPress SEO plugin</a> has over 2.5 million downloads. They&#8217;re both free. I&#8217;m not saying making those free plugins hasn&#8217;t made me any money, of course it has. There are some (though few) <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/donate/\">donations</a>, there are people ordering <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/hire-us/website-review/\">website reviews</a>, hiring me as a consultant etc. But we&#8217;d make more money if we didn&#8217;t release those plugins. That&#8217;s the cold and harsh reality. I&#8217;m not willing to stop releasing those plugins though. I&#8217;ve always said they&#8217;ll be free and I want to keep those that I&#8217;ve released for free, free.</p><p>Other plugins though, like the <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/video-seo/\">Video SEO plugin</a>, require a bit more support and continuous updating to work with video networks, new embed codes, changes from Google, etc. When I was looking at what needed to be done for that, I knew that releasing it for free was not going to be a viable option. Which is why we made it premium. Some people think its price tag $89 is too much. Well, in that case, you&#8217;re not seeing the value yet and I probably need to explain better. Anyone who knows what this kind of search traffic is worth to their site knows that $89 is dirt cheap.</p><h3>Making money directly == more time to invest in development</h3><p>Getting paid to develop a plugin means you can invest more time. I don&#8217;t have to make my money doing consulting on the side now, working on those plugins is paying for itself. This means development on these plugins accelerates quite a bit. I&#8217;ve been able to add support for a nice list of video embedding plugins to the Video SEO plugin because of that and the next version, due tomorrow, will add two new video hosting providers, <a\nhref=\"http://wistia.com/\">Wistia</a> and <a\nhref=\"http://vippy.co/\">Vippy</a>.</p><p>I can honestly say that this has done very well for us. The plugin has made us a nice amount so far and users seem to be very happy. Reviews like <a\nhref=\"http://www.stateofsearch.com/yoast-wordpress-video-seo/\">this one from Bas</a> and this tweet from Bryan make me very happy and proud:</p><blockquote\nclass=\"twitter-tweet\" width=\"550\"><p>1 week after implementing the Yoast Video SEO for WordPress + SEO plugin &amp; ranking high with video thumbnails for important phrases! Use it!</p><p>&mdash; Bryan Eisenberg (@TheGrok) <a\nhref=\"https://twitter.com/TheGrok/status/265449264719740928\" data-datetime=\"2012-11-05T13:43:31+00:00\">November 5, 2012</a></p></blockquote><p><script src=\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script></p><p>You now know the why, on to the how:</p><h2>How we sell premium WordPress plugins</h2><p>When I decided I wanted to go premium, I needed an infrastructure to sell those plugins. I looked at ThemeForest / CodeCanyon and several other marketplaces. All of them wanted an extraordinary percentage of sales, considering how much extra sales I estimated they would add. Of course I do have a head start, being in this industry for a while and having been blogging on this blog for at least 7 consecutive years.</p><p>So, I decided to go self hosted. I tried several ecommerce plugins and while each had their benefits, they all failed to do well what I needed them to do best: deliver digital goods. All of them failed, until I found <a\nhref=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com?ref=115\">Easy Digital Downloads</a>.</p><p>This plugin was built with the exact purpose of what I needed to do in mind, and built by a coder who actually knows how to write decent code, Pippin Williamson. He has a good model around it too, the core plugin is free and can be found on WordPress.org, while he has a <a\nhref=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/extensions/?ref=115\">growing set of extensions</a> of which some are premium.</p><p>The first ones you&#8217;ll want to grab are for payment gateways. I&#8217;m not in the US, so I can&#8217;t use Stripe, unfortunately, which left me with PayPal (which is built-in and free) and Moneybookers. It&#8217;s not ideal, so I&#8217;m trying to figure out a better solution, if you have ideas, do let me know in the comments.</p><p>I use another one of these premium extensions, the <a\ntitle=\"Software licensing extension for Easy Digital Downloads\" href=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/extension/software-licensing/?ref=115\">software licensing</a> one, to generate my license keys and several others to perform various other tasks and tricks, like a MailChimp extension to sign people up to my mailing list when they buy, an AWS S3 extension to host my files on Amazon, etc. etc.</p><p><a\nhref=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/extension/google-analytics-ecommerce-tracking/?ref=115\"><img\nclass=\"alignright size-full wp-image-54983\" title=\"Google Analytics eCommerce tracking for Easy Digital Downloads\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/ga-edd-logo.png\" alt=\"Google Analytics eCommerce tracking for Easy Digital Downloads\" width=\"263\" height=\"164\" /></a>In fact, I even wrote my own, an extension to track sales in Google Analytics ecommerce tracking, which is now <a\nhref=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/extension/google-analytics-ecommerce-tracking/?ref=115\">for sale for $15 on the EDD site</a>. It has allowed me to optimize my sales process already, and if you start selling, I hope it&#8217;ll help you too. The fact that it was relatively easy to write this extension is a testament to how well written Easy Digital Downloads is.</p><h2>Conclusion: use Easy Digital Downloads &amp; sell!</h2><p>If you&#8217;ve ever considered selling plugins or ebooks or other digital goods, this is the plugin you need <em>and</em> it&#8217;s written by the kind of guy you want to rely on. Pippin has been tremendously good in support and has given some very smart advice.</p><p>Also, I can definitely recommend selling plugins. It&#8217;s funny and a bit sad at the same time, but I realized the other day that while I get abusive, support demanding emails for my free plugins on a <em>daily</em> basis, each and every paid user that needed support has been great to work with. It&#8217;s as though when people pay for stuff, they respect that you have a job to do, whereas some free plugin users seem to not think about <em>you</em> at all. Loads of people have been telling me I should charge for my WordPress SEO plugin.

While it&#8217;s a pretty rare phenomenon I thought it was a good idea to share with the wider community and see what one can do about it.</p><p>After installing my video SEO plugin there are a few things that can happen, usually after having waited for about a week / two weeks:</p><ul><li>It works, and the video thumbnails start showing as universal search results (most common).</li><li>It works in universal search results for some, but not for all of the videos, but all of the videos can be found on the videos tab in the search results.</li></ul><p>That&#8217;s really only the two options I&#8217;m encountering now, I&#8217;ve yet to see a site where my plugin works (as in, it detects the videos and generates a good XML video sitemap etc) and Google doesn&#8217;t show the video in the search results at all, so that&#8217;s encouraging. I have been wondering and researching the second option though. What is the difference between posts that Google shows a video snippet for, and posts that it doesn&#8217;t give that treatment?</p><h2>Video SEO research: why it doesn&#8217;t work sometimes</h2><p>The pages where I found Google wasn&#8217;t showing a video snippet all shared one trait: they were all heavy content pages. Which is why I started thinking about those and what could be the cause of Google not showing a video result but a normal text result.</p><p>Then it hit me: what all of the posts that have videos, but aren&#8217;t getting a video snippet in the search results <em>actually</em> have in common, is that <strong>the video is not the primary content of the page</strong>. The video is &#8220;added on&#8221; as a bonus, of sorts, instead of being the primary piece. It makes sense for Google to not want to show a video snippet when what the user gets is actually textual or image content, with the video being only a tiny portion of the page.</p><h2>Your videos back in the search results: the solution</h2><p>The solution is, as you might have guessed, rather simple. It&#8217;s a hard balance to get though: Google still doesn&#8217;t understand the video itself, so it needs <em>some</em> content around the video to understand what the video is about. Give it 2-300 words, meaningful tags and a good title and you&#8217;ll be a long way there. In theory, if the content is just the transcript of the video, it shouldn&#8217;t hurt you, but I haven&#8217;t tested that yet.</p><p>Now if I had a long piece of content and a video, I would create not one, but two posts. While doing that you have to make a judgement call: if you think your site is strong enough to rank with two results in the top 10 for a given query, target the same keyword. You might get a text result <em>and</em> a video result in the same search results page.</p><p>If your site isn&#8217;t strong enough to rank with even a text result, optimize the video post for your target keyword and link from the content post to the video result. You might be able to boost your own video result into the search results, as ranking with a video tends to be easier than ranking with a text result.</p><h2>General tip: be sure to use the word video!</h2><p>Related to all of the above is one very simple tip: make sure to add the word video to titles of posts that contain a video, and to mention the word video a couple of times. People are actively searching for video content quite often, make sure they can find yours!</p><p>That last tip and the fact that you shouldn&#8217;t have <em>too</em> much content actually got me thinking: my page analysis functionality in my <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/\">WordPress SEO plugin</a>, which is needed for my <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/video-seo/\">Video SEO plugin</a>, is actually giving you slightly the wrong hints in that regard, as it urges you to write longer copy, when a bit shorter copy would actually be beneficial. So I decided to fix that. If you have the latest version of both plugins, the page analysis functionality will now give you hints about the length of your copy <em>and</em> it will hint you to use the word video in your title.</p><p>This means you might get a notice like this (click for larger version):</p><p><a\nclass=\"thickbox\" href=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/video-warning.png\"><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-52825\" title=\"Video SEO notices\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/video-warning-535x38.png\" alt=\"Video SEO notices\" width=\"535\" height=\"38\" /></a></p><p>If you have any other ideas of checks I could add to make it easier for you to optimize your videos, do let me know in the comments!</p><p><a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/video-not-showing-search-results/\">Video not showing in search results: why?</a> is a post by <a\nrel=\"author\" href=\"http://yoast.com/author/joost/\">Joost de Valk</a> on <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

The short version is, it&#8217;s for sale for $89, find out more <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/video-seo/\">here</a>. Keep on reading for a bit of backstory.</p><p>Video SEO is probably one of the most technically challenging aspects of SEO. There are several ways to make it known to Google that a certain page contains a video, ranging from Facebook share markup, Schema.org videoObject markup, MediaRSS enhancements to feeds to XML Video sitemaps. This plugin supports all four of those methods.</p><p>It&#8217;s a <em>lot</em> of work to get all this working seamlessly, but I think I&#8217;ve nailed it all. I wanted to make it as simple as putting a video in a post and then having the plugin do <em>all</em> the needed work. I succeeded. If you now use oEmbed to embed a video from say, Vimeo, into your blog, just by copy/pasting the URL onto a single line in your editor, and hit update, you&#8217;ll see that the Video SEO plugin grabs all the needed metadata from the Vimeo API and does all the legwork needed to make your video&#8217;s rank.</p><p>How you&#8217;ll know that it&#8217;s recognized the video? Because it will update the snippet into a video snippet:</p><p><img\nclass=\"alignnone\" title=\"Video Snippet Preview\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/video-snippet-590x156.png\" alt=\"Video Snippet Preview\" width=\"590\" height=\"156\" /></p><p>It doesn&#8217;t just do that for Vimeo video&#8217;s, it works with a lot of platforms, including YouTube. How it does the YouTube thing is a question some of the more experienced SEO&#8217;s will ask. I leave that as an exercise to the reader. Check my <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/video-sitemap.xml\">video-sitemap.xml</a> and see if you can find it. Whether that&#8217;ll keep working? I don&#8217;t know.</p><p>Of course the video SEO plugin is based on and uses large parts of my <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/\">WordPress SEO plugin</a>, and therefor needs that to run. This will really allow you to take any site with video to the next level though. I&#8217;m very proud of it and hope that those of you running video sites will see the benefits and buy it.</p><p>Now I know some people will start to complain that it&#8217;s a paid plugin. I can even understand that to a certain extent. Please just realize that it&#8217;s impossible to build a plugin like this and support it, without being paid for those efforts. It takes a <em>lot</em> of work, almost 1.5 years of thinking and learning has gone into making this plugin as good as it is, and it&#8217;ll probably require very regular updates to keep in line with all the supported video platforms. To be able to do that, I have to charge for the plugin. It&#8217;s called a business model. Be glad that I found one, as it will also support the continued development of the core SEO plugin.</p><p>I hope, and fully expect it to work out well for everyone involved. I&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts and, I&#8217;ll be honest, I&#8217;d love even more to see you <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/video-seo/\">buy the plugin</a>!</p><p><a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/video-seo-release/\">Video SEO just became a lot easier!</a> is a post by <a\nrel=\"author\" href=\"http://yoast.com/author/joost/\">Joost de Valk</a> on <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

If you do not use them yet, you most definitely should. I’m using custom dashboards to measure SEO, PPC, ROI, conversions and more. I also made a custom dashboard for WordPress blogs using Yoast’s <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/google-analytics/\">Google Analytics for WordPress plugin</a>. I already shared it in Dutch on <a\nhref=\"http://www.jeroenvaneck.com/\">my own blog</a>, but Joost asked me to share it with his readers as well. So here it is.</p><h2>About the dashboard</h2><p>This dashboard is meant to give a quick insight into all the important things you want to know about your blog at any given time. First of all I’d like to explain some metrics I’ve chosen to use in this dashboard. Firstly I chose to use visits instead of visitors because you also want to know when someone visits your blog multiple times. Secondly I chose to use unique page views instead of page views because I want to know how many people read my posts, not how many times they are read. Thirdly with this dashboard I tried to create insights into metrics about posts instead of metrics about all pages.</p><h2>How to build this dashboard</h2><p>First of all this dashboard of course contains a section regarding the most important core metrics. In this case I chose to include widgets containing the number of visits, the number of new visitors, a graph of the number of visits over the chosen period, the pages per visit and the average time on site. So far: nothing special. These widgets you can create without filtering any data.</p><h2>Google Analytics for WordPress</h2><p>For the following sections you need to use the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin. The plugin will allow you to use custom variables to track post types, authors, categories and tags. In the settings of the plugin you can activate them in Custom Variable Settings (in advanced settings). These settings allow you to show the interesting data for your dashboard. Depending on which Custom Variables you use you have to tweak your dashboard. For this dashboard we’ve used the following settings:</p><p><a\nclass=\"thickbox\" href=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/custom-variable-settings-yoast.jpg\"><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45997\" title=\"Custom Variable Settings Yoast\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/custom-variable-settings-yoast-536x389.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Variable Settings Yoast\" width=\"536\" height=\"389\" /></a></p><p>When you use different settings you have to check which variable is saved in which custom variable key.<br\n/> With these settings you are able to count the number of posts read on your blog and the most read posts. Because the plugin creates a custom variable containing the post type for each post that has been viewed you only need to filter the pages containing any kind of post type.</p><p>The widget settings for the number of posts read will look like this:</p><p><a\nclass=\"thickbox\" href=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/number-of-posts-read.jpg\"><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46001\" title=\"Number of posts read\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/number-of-posts-read-536x283.jpg\" alt=\"Number of posts read\" width=\"536\" height=\"283\" /></a></p><p>The widget settings for the most read posts will look like this:</p><p><a\nclass=\"thickbox\" href=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/most-read-posts.jpg\"><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46000\" title=\"Most read posts\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/most-read-posts-536x309.jpg\" alt=\"Most read posts\" width=\"536\" height=\"309\" /></a></p><p>The other custom variables created by the plugin allow you to show a few other interesting numbers. In this example we’ve chosen to show the most read authors and most read categories, but you could also show the most read tags or the number of posts by publication year.</p><p>The widget settings for the most read authors will look like this:</p><p><a\nclass=\"thickbox\" href=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/most-read-authors.jpg\"><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45998\" title=\"Most read authors\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/most-read-authors-536x288.jpg\" alt=\"Most read authors\" width=\"536\" height=\"288\" /></a></p><p>The widget settings for the most read categories will look like this:</p><p><a\nclass=\"thickbox\" href=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/most-read-categories.jpg\"><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45999\" title=\"Most read categories\" src=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/most-read-categories-536x288.jpg\" alt=\"Most read categories\" width=\"536\" height=\"288\" /></a></p><h2>Sources</h2><p>Lastly the dashboard contains an overview of the most important traffic sources split up in used medium, social sources and used organic search terms.</p><h2>Installation</h2><p>I recommend you try to build this dashboard on your own. Not only to understand how it works but also to be able to choose to represent data in a different way. But of course I will provide you with <a\nhref=\"https://www.google.com/analytics/web/permalink?uid=aoWyebltTe6p_02PrR16og\">a link</a> to the dashboard configuration, which you can save to the desired profile in your Google Analytics account. Remember you need to have the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin installed as mentioned to be able to see all the correct data. Otherwise you still have to tweak the dashboard yourself.</p><p>Hope you enjoy your dashboard. Do you have any questions or suggestions?

I&#8217;ve worked closely with Matt Cohen, WooThemes CTO, to build an import functionality for WooThemes users straight into WordPress SEO.</p><p>I recently added statistics tracking to my two main plugins, and about 125,000 of you have already kindly agreed to send me some anonymous data. Because of that, I now know that <a\nhref=\"http://www.woothemes.com/2012/06/canvas/\">WooThemes Canvas</a> is actually one of the 10 most used themes <em>and</em> is used as a parent theme quite often as well, and their dozens of other themes are very, very popular, so this could mean a lot of new users for my SEO plugin. I welcome you all!</p><h2>WooSEO Import</h2><p>The WooSEO import functionality is very simple, activate the WordPress SEO plugin, go to SEO -&gt; Import and you&#8217;ll see this:</p><p><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46022\" title=\"WooThemes Import at work: check the import from Woothemes box, press import\" src=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/woothemes-import.png\" alt=\"WooThemes Import at work: check the import from Woothemes box, press import\" width=\"527\" height=\"281\" /></p><p>You can check if the data has imported ok by opening up some posts and seeing if your WordPress SEO box contains the titles and meta descriptions you had entered in WooSEO. If it has imported ok, repeat the process above but check the &#8220;Delete the old data&#8221; checkbox, this will make sure your database is as clean as can be by deleting the old WooSEO values from the database.</p><h2>Thank you to WooThemes!</h2><p>By doing this, WooThemes is finally doing what I&#8217;ve been proposing theme companies do <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress-seo-theme/\">for ages now</a>: stop trying to provide an SEO framework and focus on good code, great design and the functionality to change that design.

That&#8217;s super awesome news as it means that the implementation I did in my <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/\">WordPress SEO plugin</a> works.</p><p>Of course I had to do some tweaking afterwards, because as it turns out Twitter&#8217;s scraper for the Twitter Card data is easily confused (it doesn&#8217;t understand how to parse multiple og:images meta tags). But let me show you what it means if it works well; if you tweet an article from this site, you&#8217;ll see a normal tweet with a new &#8220;View Summary&#8221; link:</p><p><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45983\" title=\"Tweet with summary button\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/tweet-summary-button.png\" alt=\"Tweet with summary button\" width=\"513\" height=\"88\" /></p><p>When you click that View summary link, the link &#8220;expands&#8221; and you&#8217;ll see this, the complete Twitter Card:</p><p><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45982\" title=\"Expanded Twitter Card\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/twitter-expanded-twitter-card.png\" alt=\"Expanded Twitter Card\" width=\"513\" height=\"314\" /></p><p>As you might notice my Twitter account is there twice, the top one is because I&#8217;m the author of that article, the second one is because I set the @yoast account as the main account for this site. So if you see an article tweeted that&#8217;s been written by Michiel, you&#8217;ll see his twitter account on top and the main @yoast account in the bottom:</p><p><img\nclass=\"size-full wp-image-45984 alignnone\" title=\"Twitter Card Michiel\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/twitter-card-michiel.png\" alt=\"Twitter Card Michiel\" width=\"448\" height=\"187\" /></p><h2>Can I have Twitter Cards for my site?</h2><p>I know you&#8217;re asking yourself that question. I tested some sites that are running my SEO plugin on which I knew the Twitter Cards implementation in it is activated, but unfortunately couldn&#8217;t find any working examples outside of my own site yet. It seems that you really have to <a\nhref=\"https://dev.twitter.com/form/participate-twitter-cards\">apply to participate</a> with your site next to having the functionality active on your site (you can activate it on the SEO -&gt; Social menu).</p><p>So, the next step is another update of my SEO plugin which improves a bit on the current Twitter Card implementation now that I can test properly, expect that somewhere early next week. This update will also rely on OpenGraph when activated too where possible so you don&#8217;t have another 10 lines of Twitter meta data but instead only 3 or 4 lines for Twitter and the rest of the data coming from OpenGraph. Looking forward to seeing this work on other sites that run my SEO plugin!</p><p><a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/twitter-cards-in-action/\">Twitter Cards in action</a> is a post by <a\nrel=\"author\" href=\"http://yoast.com/author/joost/\">Joost de Valk</a> on <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

Whether they are taxonomy or category archives, like this <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/cat/seo/\">SEO category</a>, Custom Post Type archives like this one for our <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wp-plugin-review/\">WordPress plugin reviews</a> or my <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/speaking/\">speaking engagements</a>, or even date archives: they all share the same common traits. In WordPress an archive will, by default, consist only of a listing of posts. As these pages will get visited by normal people, that means those visitors are &#8220;thrown&#8221; upon a page that doesn&#8217;t try to tell them where they are.</p><p>This lack of introduction gives visitors only two options: leave immediately because they don&#8217;t understand where they&#8217;ve ended up, or click through to an article, without you having had <em>any</em> chance of pushing them in the right direction.</p><p>Because of that, every decent archive needs an &#8220;introduction&#8221;. This can be as simple as just a header that stands out, but for more important sections of your site, it actually pays of to write a bit of content.</p><p>Before you write that content though, you first have to make sure that the content you write actually displays on those archive pages.</p><h2>Show introductory content on archive pages</h2><h3>Categories, Tags and Custom Taxonomies</h3><p>For category, tag or custom taxonomy archives, you can simply create a custom template by creating a file. For categories, for instance, this file would be called category.php. If you don&#8217;t know how template hierarchy works within WordPress, check out <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/\">our infographic</a> on the topic.</p><p>In this template, above the standard WordPress loop, you add the following code:</p><pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">&lt;!--?php if ( !get_query_var( \'paged\' ) ) { ?--&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;\n&lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;\n&lt;pre&gt;\n  &lt;!--?php echo wpautop( term_description() ); ?--&gt;\n&lt;!--?php } ?--&gt;</pre><p>This uses the title you set for the category / tag / custom taxonomy, as well as the description, which you can fill in the WordPress backend.</p><p>If you uses <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wp-theme/genesis/\">Genesis</a>, you don&#8217;t need to create an extra file, you can probably just check the box in your Genesis theme settings:</p><p><img\nclass=\"alignnone\" title=\"Genesis Archive Settings\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/genesis-archive-settings.png\" alt=\"Genesis Archive Settings\" width=\"575\" height=\"99\" /></p><p>Or if that doesn&#8217;t work, you can just add this to your child theme&#8217;s functions.php (there&#8217;s still no need to make that file):</p><pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">&lt;!--?php &lt;br ?--&gt;function yoast_term_archive_intro() {\n  if ( !is_category() &amp;&amp; !is_tag() &amp;&amp; !is_tax() )\n    return;\n\n  if( get_query_var( \'paged\' ) )\n    return;\n\n  echo \'&lt;/pre&gt;\n&lt;h1 class=&quot;entry-title&quot;&gt;\'.single_term_title(\'\', false).\'&lt;/h1&gt;\n&lt;pre&gt;\n\';\n  echo \'&lt;/pre&gt;\n&lt;div class=&quot;entry-content&quot;&gt;\'.wpautop( term_description() ).\'&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;pre&gt;\n\';\n}\nadd_action( \'genesis_before_loop\', \'yoast_term_archive_intro\', 20 );</pre><p>Of course you can add some extra code or classes in there to style those boxes a bit more.</p><h3>Custom Post Type archives</h3><p>For custom post type archives, this might actually be a bit harder. The beginning of the process is the same: you can create a new file, the name of which should contain your post type: <em>archive-{posttype}.php</em>.</p><p>Then you could output the name of the post type using the following code:</p><pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">if ( !get_query_var( \'paged\' ) ) {\n$pt = get_post_type_object( get_post_type() );\necho \'&lt;/pre&gt;\n&lt;h1&gt;\'.$pt-&gt;labels-&gt;name.\'&lt;/h1&gt;\n&lt;pre&gt;\n\';\n}</pre><p>This is where the tricky bit comes in though: there is no backend in WordPress to input descriptions for these types of pages, nor is there a preferred way of storing that data. I added input fields for these to my Genesis child theme settings, which is too much to explain here, of course you could also hardcode it but that&#8217;s a bit ugly&#8230;</p><p>Within Genesis, with the data coming from my child theme settings, I output the text using the following code in my functions.php (again, no reason to create a new file):</p><pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">&lt;!--?php &lt;br ?--&gt;function yoast_cpt_intro() {\n  if ( !is_post_type_archive() )\n    return;\n\n  if( get_query_var( \'paged\' ) )\n    return;\n\n  $pt = get_post_type();\n  if ( genesis_get_option( $pt.\'-title\', \'child-settings\' ) ) {\n    echo \'&lt;/pre&gt;\n&lt;h1&gt;\'.genesis_get_option( $pt.\'-title\', \'child-settings\' ).\'&lt;/h1&gt;\n&lt;pre&gt;\n\';\n    echo wpautop( genesis_get_option( $pt.\'-intro\', \'child-settings\' ) );\n  }\n}\nadd_action( \'genesis_before_loop\', \'yoast_cpt_intro\', 20 );</pre><h2>Prevent duplicate content</h2><p>To avoid <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/articles/duplicate-content/\">duplicate content</a>, we only add the introduction to the first page of an archive, if that archive is a paginated one. With the introduction of <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/rel-next-prev-paginated-archives/\">rel=&#8221;next&#8221; and rel=&#8221;previous&#8221;</a>, sites that have implemented this well will be getting more visitors to the first page of a paginated series of archives anyway, but we still don&#8217;t want to show the same content on multiple pages.</p><p>You might have noticed this line of code in the Genesis examples above:</p><pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">if( get_query_var( \'paged\' ) )\nreturn;</pre><p>This does exactly that: prevent the duplicate content.</p><h2>Styling the archive introduction text</h2><p>You should make sure that your introductory text for your archive really stands out. Remember, it&#8217;s not &#8220;just&#8221; there for SEO reasons, it&#8217;s there because people will read it! It&#8217;s very tempting to make it look just like another post, but you should take a bit more time and style it properly.</p><p>I personally like the way we&#8217;ve done that in our recent redesign, this is for instance what the <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/cat/wordpress/\">WordPress category</a> intro looks like:</p><p><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45947\" title=\"WordPress category introduction\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/wordpress-category-introduction.png\" alt=\"WordPress category introduction\" width=\"560\" height=\"187\" /></p><p>Of course, the text for that introduction is a bit poor. I should probably do a much better job myself of explaining people where to go for what kinds of content, so I&#8217;ll get right on that once I finish this post&#8230; Which brings me to the last bit:</p><h2>HTML in category descriptions</h2><p>HTML in descriptions for categories, tags and custom taxonomies is currently disallow by default. I think that&#8217;s changing in an upcoming release, but for now you&#8217;ll have to fix that. If you&#8217;re using my WordPress SEO plugin, this has already been fixed for you, if not, AppThemes has quite a <a\nhref=\"http://docs.appthemes.com/tutorials/allow-html-in-taxonomy-descriptions/\">good tutorial</a> on it.</p><p>Let me know what you did with your archive pages in the comments, I&#8217;m very curious to see good examples!</p><p><a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress-archive-pages/\">WordPress Archive Pages: the tutorial</a> is a post by <a\nrel=\"author\" href=\"http://yoast.com/author/joost/\">Joost de Valk</a> on <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

It&#8217;s one of the services we expect to be there when we Google ourselves or other people. So when you Google yourself and instead of twitter.com, you see a weird result, you think &#8220;huh&#8221;. Then, when you&#8217;re like me, you try to figure out what caused that and once you figure it, you think &#8220;d0h!&#8221;. You&#8217;d think the people at Twitter would know better than to use relative URLs or even worse, a HOST header to determine the domain, resulting in this result when you search for my name:</p><p><img\nclass=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45910\" title=\"yoast - twitter\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/yoast-twitter.png\" alt=\"yoast - twitter\" width=\"522\" height=\"83\" /></p><p>Relative URLs stink. They really do. All sorts of SEO problems on the web are caused by the use of relative URLs in links, canonicals and more. We find issues with them in our <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/hire-me/website-review/\">website reviews</a> on a regular basis, but as you can see bigger sites like Twitter also have massive issues because of them. I&#8217;ll try to explain why you shouldn&#8217;t use them and what you could do instead, as it might be simple things like this that hold you back from performing well with your website.</p><h2>What are relative URLs?</h2><p>Relative URLs are all URLs that do not contain a fully qualified domain name and path, but instead just the path or a portion of the path. So when your website is example.com, you could be linking to your contact page from your homepage like this:</p><pre class=\"brush: xml; title: ; notranslate\">&lt;a href=&quot;contact.html&quot;&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;</pre><p>And back to your homepage from your contact page like this:</p><pre class=\"brush: xml; title: ; notranslate\">&lt;a href=&quot;/&quot;&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;</pre><p>The / refers to the directory / on the domain. So even when you&#8217;re three levels deep in a directory structure, linking to / would link to the frontpage. Lastly, when you&#8217;re on the corporate page of your about section, for instance <em>example.com/about/corporate.html</em>, you could link to your contact page like this:</p><pre class=\"brush: xml; title: ; notranslate\">&lt;a href=&quot;../contact.html&quot;&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;</pre><p>All the resulting URLs are calculated by your browser based on the base URL. By default, this is the current URL that&#8217;s in your location bar, but using the <code>base</code> element, you could set it to something else, like this:</p><pre class=\"brush: xml; title: ; notranslate\">&lt;base href=&quot;http://www.example.com/subdirectory/&quot;&gt;</pre><p>Doing this would make the second link above, the link to /, resolve to <em>http://www.example.com/subdirectory/</em>.</p><p>This was all fine when HTML was invented and websites consisted of real static HTML pages in directory structures. Now though, most of the web is built with content management systems, changing URLs is easier and some URLs might behave differently than what you&#8217;d expect. Because of that, relative URLs can cause a few different types of issues, all of which can be pretty detrimental for your SEO and your server performance.</p><h3>Why are relative URLs still being used?</h3><p>Relative URLs are often used because developers have a test environment on another hostname and it makes it easy for them to move stuff between their test environment and their live environment. Other reasons include that it&#8217;s &#8220;just easier in website maintenance&#8221;. They&#8217;re also, in my opinion falsely, <a\nhref=\"http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/relative/\">promoted</a> by some websites about site speed because they&#8217;re &#8220;shorter&#8221; and thus &#8220;faster&#8221;.</p><p>In reality, all of these reasons are false when you look at the bigger picture. The few minutes a developer might save by using relative URLs are offset by countless hours an SEO might be spending to solve the issues caused.</p><h2>Some of the problems caused by relative URLs</h2><p>Issues caused by the use of relative URLs are vast and plentiful, and any seasoned SEO can probably give you a few examples of clients that have had huge losses because of them. Let me show you a couple of them:</p><h3>A completely indexed test environment</h3><p>When you have a menu structure that relies on relative URLs, one wrong link in your content to your test environment would cause the entire test environment to be spidered and indexed, causing massive <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/articles/duplicate-content/\">duplicate content issues</a>. This happens more often than you think, in fact, have you checked whether the test environment you used to test your last few development projects are indexed by Google? I bet some of you will now find out that they are indexed.</p><h3>Spider traps</h3><p>Most of the times I&#8217;ve found what we call &#8220;spider traps&#8221; they&#8217;re caused by wrongly used relative URLs. Let me show you an example: a site linking to ./example instead of ../example/, from the /contact/ page. A link to ./ means you&#8217;re linking to the current directory. When the current URL ends in /contact/ this means that a link to ./example/ resolves to /contact/example/. So clicking that link would take me to http://www.example.com/contact/example/, if your CMS is set up to serve the same page for /contact/example/ as it serves for /contact/, which is a <em>very</em> common case, you&#8217;ll now have a spider trap. Because that /content/example/ page also links to ./example/, which now resolves to /contact/example/example/, which then links to ./example/ again and thus links to /contact/example/example/example/ etc. etc. etc. You probably get the issue, and I hope you also understand why this could be <em>very</em> detrimental for your search engine rankings.</p><p>These kinds of issues are <em>very</em> easily found using a tool like <a\nhref=\"http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/\">Screaming Frog</a>, which I think every webmaster should have in its arsenal.</p><h3>Relative canonical URLs</h3><p>Issues can also be caused by using relative canonical URLs. A <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/canonical-url-links/\">canonical URL</a> is supposed to link to the &#8220;perfect&#8221; URL for a piece of content on your website. If you use a relative link and also have a subdomain or test environment that&#8217;s indexed, you suddenly have several versions of a piece of content that all proclaim themselves as the canonical version of that piece of content&#8230; You can understand a search engine having a hard time dealing with this.</p><h4>A little knowledge is a dangerous thing&#8230;</h4><p>At Twitter, they figured out that they shouldn&#8217;t use relative canonicals. So a developer there thought he was smart and probably defined the domain part of the canonical URL using the HOST header information. This causes the very issue that I talked about in the introduction above, because now the IP result in the screenshot above has a canonical URL pointing to itself, causing Google to show Twitter&#8217;s IP&#8217;s in search results everywhere instead of the proper domain&#8230;</p><h3>Protocol-relative URLs</h3><p>Another issue is the so-called protocol relative URL. This is a URL that leaves of the http:// or https:// bit. This type of relative URL does have its uses, but it should not be deployed outside of those useful cases. The useful cases are when it&#8217;s used inside JavaScript or CSS, so files are served over the same protocol as the current page, especially because when you&#8217;re on a https URL, serving anything over http basically breaks the security. Using protocol relative URLs within links or canonical URLs is a <em>very bad idea</em> though, because you can still have duplicate content issues between http and https versions of a website.</p><h2>The solution</h2><p>WordPress core has this solution solved in a very nice way, using a couple of solutions:</p><h3>Absolute URLs everywhere</h3><p>Whenever WordPress outputs a URL, it&#8217;s always a full, absolute URL. For the domain name part of that it uses the domain you set in the General settings. This is the type of solution everyone should use: the domain name should be in a configuration file, this would allow you to still easily migrate between development environment and live environment by just using different configuration files.</p><h3>Canonical Redirects</h3><p>Whenever WordPress detects that you are on a specific article but are not using the proper &#8220;canonical&#8221; URL, it&#8217;ll try to 301 redirect you to the correct version. For the cases when it doesn&#8217;t detect this (it for instance ignores query parameters added to the URL), there is:</p><h3>The canonical link URL element</h3><p>When you&#8217;re on a single post or page, WordPress puts out a <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/canonical-url-links/\">canonical link element</a>, based on what the URL of the current article should be, irregardless of what&#8217;s in your browsers location bar. My <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/\">WordPress SEO plugin</a> extends this functionality to display canonical link elements just about everywhere within WordPress, and you should do this in your CMS too.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Twitter&#8217;s issue could be rather easily resolved, as we&#8217;ve discussed, by using proper absolute URLs everywhere in their code. There are no real good arguments against not doing that. While Twitter is not a direct e-commerce site and might not have the biggest of issues with losing a bit of traffic, I&#8217;ve had issues with relative URLs and relative canonicals at clients that have cost those clients upwards of a hundred thousand euro&#8217;s. The very small gain in web development time, if any, is never, ever, worth that.</p><p>So you should be using absolute URLs at all times, canonical redirects when possible and canonical link elements should ideally be on every page you serve out. After all, when you&#8217;re building a brand, do you really want to lose that brand in the search result pages? I think that&#8217;s a waste and I&#8217;m guessing you do too.</p><p><a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/relative-urls-issues/\">Why relative URLs should be forbidden for web developers</a> is a post by <a\nrel=\"author\" href=\"http://yoast.com/author/joost/\">Joost de Valk</a> on <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

You then open the URL and you&#8217;ll be seeing an interface like this (click for larger version):</p><p><a\nclass=\"thickbox\" href=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Term-Optimizer-by-Yoast.png\"><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45853\" title=\"Easy Tag Optimization with Term Optimizer by Yoast\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Term-Optimizer-by-Yoast-590x533.png\" alt=\"Easy Tag Optimization with Term Optimizer by Yoast\" width=\"580\" height=\"523\" /></a></p><p>By default it&#8217;ll search for all tags that are used less than 4 times. As you can see, there&#8217;s a checkbox before each post. If you check them and use the drop down in the top, you can choose from several actions:</p><p><img\nclass=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45855\" title=\"With selected tags, do the following: merge, delete &amp; redirect, shows posts with term, search &amp; tag\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/with-selected-do.png\" alt=\"With selected tags, do the following: merge, delete &amp; redirect, shows posts with term, search &amp; tag\" width=\"372\" height=\"133\" /></p><p>If you choose merge and selected, you&#8217;ll be presented with a second screen that allows you to choose the tag you want to merge these tags with. Once that&#8217;s done, if your .htaccess file is writeable, the tool will automatically add the redirect lines to your .htaccess file.</p><p>Pressing delete will do something similar, you&#8217;ll be able to redirect to the homepage, to a category or to a custom URL:</p><p><img\nclass=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45849\" title=\"Delete &amp; redirect tag\" src=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/delete-redirect-tag.png\" alt=\"Delete &amp; redirect tag\" width=\"312\" height=\"199\" /></p><p>This allows you to optimize your tags with only a few minutes / hours work, instead of having to get a developer to do all this work for you.</p><h2>Quickly Adding Tags to Posts</h2><p>Sometimes you realize that you should have created a certain tag and it&#8217;s now a lot of work to do that through the interface. With the term optimizer you can do that quite simply (click for larger image):</p><p><a\nclass=\"thickbox\" href=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/search-tag.png\"><img\nclass=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45860\" title=\"Search &amp; Tag posts\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/search-tag-590x632.png\" alt=\"Search &amp; Tag posts\" width=\"580\" height=\"621\" /></a></p><h2>Buy this Tool, start Optimizing your Tags Now!</h2><p>We&#8217;ll be making this available to our past website review customers who need it for free, if you&#8217;re not a website review customer but just want to clean up your tags or other terms, you can buy it now:</p><div\nclass=\"aligncenter\"><form\nid=\"edd_purchase_51751\" class=\"edd_download_purchase_form\" method=\"post\"><div\nclass=\"edd_purchase_submit_wrapper\"><p> <input\ntype=\"submit\" class=\"edd-add-to-cart button orange edd-submit\" name=\"edd_purchase_download\" value=\"Buy Term Optimizer\" data-action=\"edd_add_to_cart\" data-download-id=\"51751\"  /><a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/checkout/\" class=\"edd_go_to_checkout button orange edd-submit\" style=\"display:none;\">Checkout</a></p></div><input\ntype=\"hidden\" name=\"download_id\" value=\"51751\"> <input\ntype=\"hidden\" name=\"edd_action\" value=\"add_to_cart\"></form></div><p><a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/optimizing-tags/\">Tag Optimization for WordPress</a> is a post by <a\nrel=\"author\" href=\"http://yoast.com/author/joost/\">Joost de Valk</a> on <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

It allows site owners to enhance the expanded tweets Twitter creates for their site, much in the same was as  OpenGraph tags give site owners the chance to determine what their posts &amp; pages will look like when shared on Facebook. In fact, Twitter chose to fall back to OpenGraph data when their specific tags aren&#8217;t being used, just as Google+ does.</p><p>A while back Alex posted about <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/facebook-open-graph-protocol/\">OpenGraph</a> here and users of my <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/\">WordPress SEO plugin</a> will have noticed that quite some development went into (and actually still goes into) the OpenGraph settings of that plugin. With this change, that development has been worth while even more. Google+, Facebook and Twitter now all use the basic OpenGraph tags like og:url, <code>og:description</code>, <code>og:title</code> and <code>og:image</code>.</p><p>This means that for a full Twitter Cards implementation, you only really need to add three lines to your site. For instance for every post <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/author/michiel/\">Michiel</a> writes on this site, we&#8217;d need to add this:</p><pre class=\"brush: xml; title: ; notranslate\">&lt;meta name=&quot;twitter:card&quot; value=&quot;summary&quot;&gt;\n&lt;meta name=&quot;twitter:site&quot; value=&quot;@yoast&quot;&gt;\n&lt;meta name=&quot;twitter:creator&quot; value=&quot;@michielheijmans&quot;&gt;</pre><p>All the other data would be taken from the OpenGraph metadata that&#8217;s already there. When I noticed this, I realized that the Twitter Card implementation for my SEO plugin would be a breeze; so I went ahead and build it. I&#8217;m currently waiting for access to their beta so I can test it, but the implementation is mostly done. It&#8217;ll add a Twitter contact field to every user&#8217;s profile using the <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/user-contact-fields-wordpress/\">method I wrote about a few days ago</a>. Next to that it&#8217;ll allow you to set a site Twitter account and check a box to say you want to include the data, that&#8217;s it. If you want to have a play, the code is already in the WordPress SEO trunk, so you can download it from the <a\nhref=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/developers/\">developers page</a>.</p><h2>What Twitter Cards mean for OpenGraph</h2><p>As you&#8217;ll understand, Twitter Cards made OpenGraph even more important than it already was. No site on the web should be without the basic OpenGraph meta data anymore. Microsoft recently announced <a\nhref=\"http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/05/14/sharing-links-from-ie10-on-windows-8.aspx\">suport for OpenGraph in IE10</a> in Windows 8 as well, which just adds another reason.</p><p>It makes sense too: the OpenGraph protocol is relatively easy yet allows for a bit more than just a meta description and title tag. So go forth and implement OpenGraph!</p><h2>Merge it all into one standard</h2><p>There are some things that obviously need to be worked on though. The fact that Twitter requires the <code>twitter:card</code> meta tag sort of annoys me, as it seems to me they could have just mapped the <code>og:type</code> meta tag for that, which would make implementation even easier. The same goes for the <code>og:url</code> meta tag, Facebook falls back to the <code>rel=canonical</code> element when it&#8217;s there and there is no <code>og:url</code> element, I&#8217;m hoping Twitter will do the same but they haven&#8217;t specified it yet.</p><p>In the <a\nhref=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/opengraph/\">Facebook group</a> that discusses the Open Graph Protocol I already saw <a\nhref=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/opengraph/permalink/447342028623970/\">Tantek Çelik say</a> what I was thinking:</p><blockquote><p>og:&#8230; twitter:&#8230; &#8211; it&#8217;s like vendor prefixes for meta tags! looks like a good opportunity to create a microformat based on commonalities among all this vendor-specific work.</p></blockquote><p>All I can say is: yes! Hell yes!

A while back I got frustrated enough to have a look at how this was actually dealt with in the backend of WordPress, and fix it, so in WordPress 2.9 an API was added as a result of ticket <a\nhref=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10240\">#10240</a>.</p><p>This change allowed for developers to add user contact fields in a very simple way. The example code below adds Twitter and removes Yahoo IM, and yes, this is all the code that&#8217;s needed to do it:</p><pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">function add_twitter_contactmethod( $contactmethods ) {\n  // Add Twitter\n  if ( !isset( $contactmethods[\'twitter\'] ) )\n    $contactmethods[\'twitter\'] = \'Twitter\';\n\n  // Remove Yahoo IM\n  if ( isset( $contactmethods[\'yim\'] ) )\n    unset( $contactmethods[\'yim\'] );\n\n  return $contactmethods;\n}\nadd_filter( \'user_contactmethods\', \'add_twitter_contactmethod\', 10, 1 );</pre><p>Easy does it, right? Retrieving the user contact field isn&#8217;t much harder either, for example, if you&#8217;re on a singular page, use the following code:</p><pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">if ( is_singular() ) {\n  global $post;\n  $twitter = get_the_author_meta( \'twitter\', $post-&gt;post_author );\n}</pre><p>And there you have it! My <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/\">WordPress SEO plugin</a> uses this exact method to add a Google+ profile field for users to be used in conjunction with the <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/highlighting-wordpress-authors-search/\">author highlighting</a> features of Google. If you&#8217;d want to echo the Google+ user contact field that plugin creates, do the following:</p><pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">if ( is_singular() ) {\n  global $post;\n  the_author_meta( \'googleplus\', $post-&gt;post_author );\n}</pre><p>As you can see this uses <code>the_author_meta</code> instead of <code>get_the_author_meta</code>. The <code>$post</code> global and the <code>$post-&gt;post_author</code> reference would strictly speaking not even be needed as they&#8217;re called from the global otherwise within the function, but this might prevent issues with retrieving the wrong user contact fields.</p><p>That&#8217;s it! Now you can add and remove user contact fields as you wish. You can do this in your theme&#8217;s <em>functions.php</em> or in a plugin, be sure to add the <code>isset</code> code around it to prevent notices though!</p><p><a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/user-contact-fields-wordpress/\">User Contact Fields in WordPress</a> is a post by <a\nrel=\"author\" href=\"http://yoast.com/author/joost/\">Joost de Valk</a> on <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com\">Yoast - Tweaking Websites</a>.A good WordPress blog needs good hosting, you don\'t want your blog to be slow, or, even worse, down, do you?

A few weeks back I did a series of bug fix updates and while doing that I noticed there where things that were <em>really</em> bugging me in the plugin. Everybody seemed to focus on the settings and hardly anyone was working with the snippet preview and the page analysis functionality, in my opinion the most important pieces of the plugin. This update will try and gently push you to use that functionality more.</p><p>Next to that, I also did a major overhaul of the two most important settings pages, so let&#8217;s discuss these changes first:</p><h2>The new SEO settings pages</h2><p>The plugin used to have a &#8220;Titles&#8221; and an &#8220;Indexation&#8221; page. That was confusing as the titles page also covered the meta descriptions and had pieces for each (custom) post type and (custom) taxonomy and the Indexation page had other settings for these same post types and taxonomies. So I decided to merge them into one and divide them into tabs for the separate sections.</p><p>These sections now look as follows:</p><p><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45755\" title=\"Titles Meta settings\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Titles-Meta-settings.png\" alt=\"Titles Meta settings\" width=\"580\" height=\"631\" /></p><p>And the section for post types:</p><p><img\nclass=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45756\" title=\"titles meta settings for post types\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/titles-metas-post-types.png\" alt=\"titles meta settings for post types\" width=\"580\" height=\"502\" /></p><p>As you can see, they&#8217;re much cleaner. Both post types and taxonomies can now be noindex, followed straight from this interface as well, with the option to override the global setting on a per post or per term (eg. a tag or category) basis.</p><h2>Rel=&#8221;author&#8221;</h2><p>As I mentioned in my previous post about <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/push-rel-author-head/\">rel=&#8221;author&#8221; through your head</a>, this feature is now in WordPress SEO 1.2. Simply go to your author profile and fill your Google+ URL and it&#8217;ll be added to each post automagically.</p><h2>Default Settings</h2><p>The WordPress SEO plugin until now always lacked proper default settings. It had them but it didn&#8217;t show them to the user in the titles section and it didn&#8217;t have them for various other sections. While there&#8217;s still more work to do with guiding people to get the right settings, the plugin now sets defaults that should work well for 99% of sites on install.</p><p>This also means the plugin, when freshly installed, will now automatically enable XML Sitemaps and will detect automatically whether force rewrite needs to be enabled or not. That should save me some support headaches.</p><p>But, as I said, those sections aren&#8217;t really that important. This bit is:</p><h2>The Snippet Preview &amp; Focus keyword</h2><p>An enormous amount of bugs have been fixed in the snippet preview and the focus keyword functionality. Most of them are related to non-ascii characters and languages such as Russian and Arabian, but others involve keywords with dollar signs or even simple dashes. &#8220;<a\nhref=\"http://yoast.nl/seo-trainingen/in-company-seo-training/\">In-company SEO training</a>&#8221; for instance will now be properly recognized as a focus keyword.</p><p>The bolding of keywords in the snippet preview has also been fixed for all cases I knew went wrong. If you still have issues, be sure to let me know through the forums; but I fully expect this release to fix most of them.</p><h2>The Page Analysis functionality</h2><p>When I introduced this functionality in May 2011 I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, but as I said, I couldn&#8217;t get enough people to use it properly. Linkdex, who contributed the original code, always calculated a &#8220;score&#8221; for each page based on that code and I had decided to not use that score. The reason I left it out was simple: I didn&#8217;t want people to optimize for that last percent.</p><p>For this release, I decided it was time to re-think that approach and come up with something better. Now, each post, page or other post type will get a &#8220;score&#8221;, but there are only 4 options:</p><ul><li>bad (red)</li><li>poor (orange)</li><li>ok (yellow)</li><li>good (green)</li></ul><p>They look as follows:</p><p><img\nclass=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45754\" title=\"Score buttons\" src=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/score_buttons.png\" alt=\"Score buttons\" width=\"164\" height=\"19\" /></p><p>This score is shown inside the publish box:</p><p><img\nclass=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45752\" title=\"SEO Score shown inside the publish box\" src=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/seo-score-publish-box.png\" alt=\"SEO Score shown inside the publish box\" width=\"288\" height=\"96\" /></p><p>But, more importantly, it&#8217;s also shown in the overview of posts and pages, alongside other key SEO info (click for large version):</p><p><a\nclass=\"thickbox\" href=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/seo-score-pages-overview.png\"><img\nclass=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45753\" title=\"SEO Score in the pages overview\" src=\"http://cdn3.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/seo-score-pages-overview-590x231.png\" alt=\"SEO Score in the pages overview\" width=\"580\" height=\"227\" /></a></p><p>As you can see, you can show the SEO score, the focus keyword, the meta description and the title; and you have the ability to sort by the first three of those values. This makes it easy to find posts that don&#8217;t have a focus keyword or have a low SEO score. You can also easily disable those columns that you&#8217;d rather not see. Within the posts overview, there are two colors for posts that aren&#8217;t a score. Grey means the post has no focus keyword and thus no score; blue means the post is set to noindex, so the score doesn&#8217;t matter.</p><h2>Questions and Answers about this release</h2><ul><li><strong>Why is this 1.2 and not 2.0?</strong><br\n/> I&#8217;ve decided my WordPress SEO plugin will follow the same version numbering as WordPress, so each point release is a major version increase. This prevents version number inflation so we don&#8217;t have WordPress SEO 25 in 4-5 years time.</li><li><strong>Will all my settings be saved when I upgrade?</strong><br\n/> Yes. But it won&#8217;t hurt you to go through all your settings and check whether you&#8217;re still doing what&#8217;s best for you. It won&#8217;t force the new defaults on you if you&#8217;ve already got the plugin installed, but there&#8217;s a button you can push if you want it to.</li><li><strong>Does this version do <em>X</em>?</strong><br\n/> It might. Why not download it and see for yourself? If it doesn&#8217;t, open a thread in the forums and let&#8217;s talk about it. Be warned though, I refuse most feature requests.</li><li><strong>You removed the setting for X, how can I change that now?</strong><br\n/> First of all, I tend to remove stuff for a good reason. Think about why I did that and see if you really need to change it. If you do, there&#8217;s a good chance the <a\nhref=\"http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/api-docs/\">WordPress SEO API</a>, which has a ton of actions and filters added in this release, will allow you to change it programmatically.</li></ul><p>That&#8217;s it!

That version has a bucket load of improvements and some new features, so you might want to test that anyway, it&#8217;ll probably be released early next week.</p><p>If you&#8217;re looking for it in the development version, there are two spots: on each users profile page there&#8217;s a new Google+ contact method:</p><p\nstyle=\"text-align: center;\"><img\nclass=\"size-full wp-image-45693 aligncenter\" title=\"Google Plus for rel=&quot;author&quot;\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/google-plus-profile.png\" alt=\"Google Plus for rel=&quot;author&quot;\" width=\"553\" height=\"285\" /></p><p>When a user fills this out, the link will automatically be added to each post or page he/she publishes.

That would be unrealistic. Why should a constructor learn SEO? He should not. Why should a gardner know all about user experience? He should not. But how about applying some common sense to your website?</p><p>Let&#8217;s go over an imaginary website, top to bottom:</p><h2>Browser</h2><p>Your browser has a couple of spots where your &lt;title&gt; is shown, like in the upper left and on a tab. That means your page title should start with he main subject of the page, not your site name. If it would start with your site name, all tabs would read the same title.</p><p>Next to that, you want your browser to display the website as quick as possible, meaning you should make your website as fast as possible. Sure, browser cache and compression might be way over your head, but how about not using a template with tables and combining your CSS and JavaScript files? Or lowering the number of CSS and JavaScript files by losing all &#8216;extra&#8217; WordPress plugins, assuming your site is in WordPress of course.</p><h2>Header</h2><p>Do your really think putting all these items in your header help visitors or Google:</p><ul><li>RSS, Facebook, Twitter, Google+</li><li>Telephone number</li><li>Additional menu for About Us, Privacy Policy, Contact, Directions, Terms &amp; Conditions</li><li>Subscription form for email newsletter</li><li>Banner for your own or even worse other company&#8217;s products</li><li>Quality Marks</li><li>etc</li></ul><p>And all that in the first 100px of your website. Squeezed together and made to be skipped anyway. That header area should contain only the necessary, all other items should be in a sidebar or footer area. If you want people to call you, list your phone number. Make it large, but no larger than your logo. If you are the best painter in Maine, make that statement in the header. No need for all the other fuzz.</p><p>With your header comes the menu (in most cases). If you would list 30 items in the menu, do you think that would add focus to your website or do you think just using six items would guide your visitor more? Consider creating a submenu and add that structure to your breadcrumbs as well.</p><p>So far I have not mentioned anything strange or difficult to implement, right? It&#8217;s all common sense and you have thought at least 10 times &#8220;I know that already&#8221;. So why are not all websites set up with these basics? Why is there so much crap on the web?</p><h2>Content</h2><p>Your page content should contain at least 300 words. That has a simple reason: would your page be a great source for the topic or keyword you want to rank for when it would only contain 50 words? Is that all there is to say about that keyword? I don&#8217;t believe that, you don&#8217;t believe that and Google does not believe that. There should be a significant amount of content for your page to be considered a great source of information.</p><p>Of course you will write some posts or pages that are much shorter, like your contact page, but do your really want to rank that page? No, not on most websites. Don&#8217;t go crazy over this on pages like that, that&#8217;s not worth the effort. Get them on your site with other pages and guide them to your contact form.</p><p>An easy way to do that is by using <a\ntitle=\"Where do you want me to click?\" href=\"http://yoast.com/call-to-action/\">a call-to-action</a>. Make that call-to-action stand out by using colors that are not overused in your design or use a much larger font. Surround the call-to-action with enough whitespace. If you are adding your fourth call-to-action, please realize that that again is killing all focus on the website. Stick to one and let the content do the rest.</p><p>Focus in your content can be achieved by adding subheadings to your text that should be structured in (again) a logical matter, pretty much the same way you should set up a Word document:</p><ul><li>H1<ul\nstyle=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><li>H2<ul\nstyle=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><li>H3</li><li>H3</li></ul></li><li>H2</li></ul></li></ul><p>That also means one H1 per page, being the site name on the homepage and the page title on the other pages.</p><p>I think we all agree nowadays that reading on a computer screen is not as pleasant as reading text on paper. But we should make things as convenient as possible: make short sentences and even more important, create short paragraphs. I&#8217;d like to create paragraphs that are four to eight lines long and I hope this is a nice read ;)</p><p>In these paragraphs you should link to your own pages as well as to other websites. The great thing about these links to your own pages is that these links are really valuable as they are surrounded with relevant, related content. Next to that, you can easily use your keywords of choice in the anchor text. Unfortunately most people seem to think that these links should only go to other websites. A regrettable misunderstanding.</p><h2>Sharing</h2><p>If you write great content.. Let me rephrase that: <strong>provided</strong> you write great content, people will be more than willing to tell others about your piece. Of course you should add social sharing buttons below the content. These buttons should not be styled in some fashionable way, but should look like the commonly used share buttons &#8211; see below this post ;) &#8211; for better recognition as sharing buttons.</p><p>I&#8217;d use Facebook, Twitter, Share-by-email and Google+ for all websites, Linkedin for business news / economy related websites and Pinterest only when you have that amazing image in the post that people might want to share. Do not list a share option, just because people you know are using it, but only use those sharing options you think are relevant for your website.</p><p>The fashionable buttons can be used for subscription options, like links to your Facebook profile or your Youtube channel. In most cases, the square icons are used for this, or the round icons you find on yoast.com.</p><h2>Footer</h2><p>This is not a great footer:</p><blockquote><p>© SomewebsiteImade.com. All rights reserved. Reproduction of this content only after written permission.</p></blockquote><p>First: really? Share buttons <em>and</em> telling people they should not use your content on other websites? We actually encountered this in one of the <a\ntitle=\"Website Review\" href=\"http://yoast.com/hire-me/website-review/\">websites we have reviewed</a>.</p><p>Next to that, I think the entire footer should be used for extra contact information (or a small form) and other information that you really want to list on your website like a small link list, perhaps some recent news items and a small category list (max 8 items or so). Not sure about this, but why not throw in some social profiles as well..</p><p>What I really dislike is a footer that has one million links in it. That reduces the value of all other links and all focus on the page.</p><p>So, in conclusion, I think you should not so much focus on hearsay about SEO, but think about what seems logical and makes the most sense. Only when your website makes common sense to you, you should go look for someone that can help you with the not so logical Search Engine and Usability optimization issues ;)</p><h3>Any additions?</h3><p>Common sense is not as easy as it looks for a lot of people.

We get quite a lot response on that, with people being unclear how to do that. &#8220;Where should I put that content?&#8221; or &#8220;How long should that content be?&#8221; or the one I dislike the most: &#8220;I don&#8217;t need that&#8221;.</p><h2>The main goal of introductory content</h2><p>I can not emphasize this enough. Introductory content is meant for your most valued visitors: us people and Google. Introductory content helps those visitors to grasp the leitmotif of your website. It also tells the visitor why you are the source to turn to, whether or not in combination with the title of your website.</p><p>There are two main ways to list that introductory content:</p><h3>The right slogan or tagline as introductory content</h3><p><img\nclass=\"alignright size-full wp-image-45640\" title=\"Chicago Tribune logo\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/chicago-tribune.png\" alt=\"Chicago Tribune logo: notice the caption\" width=\"318\" height=\"79\" />If only things where always this simple. <a\ntitle=\"Chicago Tribune\" href=\"http://www.chicagotribune.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Chicago Tribune</a> has a small caption below the logo that tells all: We are a Chicago based news provider bringing you all the latest news and we are doing this for such a long time you can consider us a trustworthy source.</p><p>The Chicago Tribune can do that this way and get away with it. But if you are a local news agency that brings mainly local news, you might need a different approach. Just the tagline might not be enough.</p><p>Suppose you are running the website of that more local newsletter, for instance the <a\ntitle=\"Local newspaper for Stowe\" href=\"http://www.stowetoday.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Stowe Today</a>. I really love these kind of websites, since they seem to be made with more care and passion than most websites. But it totally lacks introductory content. You have to know Stowe Today to know what the website is about.</p><p>A huge number of inbound links is telling Google what the Chicago Tribune is about, but I can&#8217;t imagine Stowe Today benefitting from such a number of in-links. The website will have to tell Google itself what it is about. It&#8217;s not.</p><p>The website starts off with a lot of (local) banner ads and some featured articles, but nowhere on that page it tells me &#8216;bringing you local news from Stowe, including human interest stories, upcoming events and more&#8217;. If I would not have known better, it might also have been a blog from a very enthusiastic local student, earning an extra buck this way. I also checked the <a\ntitle=\"About Sowe Today\" href=\"http://www.stowetoday.com/site/about/\">About</a>. page of the website, but that only refers to other publications.</p><h3>Adding a few paragraphs as an introduction</h3><p>Most news websites or webshops think they have no space for a few extra paragraphs of introductory content. The website should start with either news or products. I call bullsh*t on that.</p><p>I&#8217;m not a big fan of the somewhat sneaky way the <a\ntitle=\"Hidden introductory content\" href=\"http://www.hypedc.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">online sneakershop Hypedc.com</a> did this:</p><p><img\nclass=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45641\" title=\"Hypedc.com source code\" src=\"http://cdn.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/hypedccom-590x215.png\" alt=\"Hypedc.com source code\" width=\"580\" height=\"211\" /><br\n/> As you can see, the introduction is there, but is not shown on the page itself. You are serving that intro to Google, but not to your customers. Why not!?</p><p>But that is just one way. I&#8217;m a much bigger fan of the way <a\ntitle=\"WP Types introductory content\" href=\"http://wp-types.com/\">WP-Types.com</a> is doing this, for instance:</p><p><img\nclass=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45642\" title=\"wp-types\" src=\"http://cdn2.yoast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wp-types.png\" alt=\"WP-Types\" width=\"556\" height=\"288\" /></p><p>&#8220;But they just have a couple of products&#8221;. I hear you, that&#8217;s right. But how about the way <a\ntitle=\"Large intro for SurfStitch\" href=\"http://www.surfstitch.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">SurfStitch</a> is doing this? That&#8217;s actually quite common for (Magento) webshops.

Because there has been quite some news about Google&#8217;s Penguin update and before that its Panda update, people are blaming those. In our perspective, whether you&#8217;re blaming Penguin, Panda or another update from Google isn&#8217;t really that interesting if you&#8217;re not an SEO. What matters most is: you&#8217;ve lost traffic, how are you going to get it back?</p><h2>Why you&#8217;d want to know whether the Penguin update caused it</h2><p>The idea is that if you know which update caused your traffic to drop and you know what that update targeted, you only have to fix that specific issue and your rankings will be magically restored. The reality is that it&#8217;s <em>really </em>not that black and white. Quite often now people blame one update, but if we look at the SearchMetrics stats for their domain, they&#8217;ve had a gradual decline over the last few months with a bigger decline in recent weeks. If we based our actions solely on what Penguin update targeted (and that&#8217;s not even really clear yet within the SEO community) we might be missing other issues.</p><p>There were other updates that didn&#8217;t get named by Google in the same way but had a <em>huge</em> impact in some countries. We&#8217;ve seen sites with over-optimized anchor text being hit from the beginning of the year already, but suddenly people now attribute that to Penguin. The end result for you as a site owner: it doesn&#8217;t matter.</p><p>You need to fix <em>all</em> your issues, not just the ones that this specific update &#8220;targets&#8221;.</p><h2>How to get &#8220;your&#8221; traffic back</h2><p>First of all, it&#8217;s not your traffic. It&#8217;s Google&#8217;s traffic. Being mad at Google, or anyone else for that matter, won&#8217;t help you one bit, it&#8217;s Google&#8217;s traffic and they can do what they want with it. So to regain the traffic your website was getting from Google, you need to play by their rules and in all honesty: those rules haven&#8217;t changed all that much over the last 10 years. The only thing that&#8217;s happening is that all the ways people found of bending those rules are slowly breaking.</p><p>Don&#8217;t try and play a game with Google if you don&#8217;t understand what you&#8217;re doing. There are dozens of great blackhats out there whom I respect, but that&#8217;s because they do their own research and they don&#8217;t start complaining publicly when Google catches them. If you have to read about and apply other people&#8217;s tricks, you&#8217;re probably not going to win. As the old saying goes: if you can&#8217;t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.</p><p>So how <em>do</em> you get your traffic back? By getting your site re-aligned with Google&#8217;s values. If you&#8217;ve lost in the Panda update or Penguin update and now recently lost a lot of traffic <em>again</em>, Google is sending you a message: your website doesn&#8217;t fit our idea of quality. Fix that. Don&#8217;t try to remove the one or two links that you think might have hurt you.</p><p>Now of course, you&#8217;re more than welcome to <a\ntitle=\"Website Review\" href=\"http://yoast.com/hire-me/website-review/\">order a website review</a> and get our opinion, but please don&#8217;t expect us to come up with a silver bullet.
