WordPress Content Spinner Plugin – SEO WordSpinner

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

seodenver.com

There are a lot of content spinners out there (I won’t even bother linking to them, most are for spamming, not for SEO). The existing products allow you mass-export articles then submit them across content networks to build links using spammy articles. That is not what this plugin does. This plugin allows you to enhance your site’s SEO by reducing duplicate content.

Google has been improving its handling of duplicate content by implementing use of the canonical tag and updating its algorithm. They don’t punish a site for duplicate content, but having unique content is still better than duplicate content.

Different content in different context

Each category page
Each tag page
Any search result page
And this single article page
Each of those pages will show the full content or an excerpt (summary) of the content on this page. Each will show a title for this article. The SEO WordSpinner plugin allows you to mix things up so that on each page, users will see different content that means the same thing, therefore avoiding duplicate content issues if done properly.

Keeping spins predictable

The SEO WordSpinner plugin has an option to show the same content in the same context in a predictable manner. This is a setting in the plugin (“Make Spins Predictable by Default”). This means that when viewed on a separate tag, archive, search, or single page, the spun content will display the same way.

This global setting can also be modified on a per-post or per-page basis by adding the SEOSpinPredictable Custom Field to the post with a value of “true” or “false”. This allows you to change the settings on a per-post basis. This post has SEOSpinPredictable set as true, which is why refreshing changes the content.

Spin your META tags…All in One SEO Pack-Compatible

One of the neat features of this plugin is that there is a setting to have your title and meta tags spun. This allows you to vary the post title, the title tag, and the meta tags separately, allowing you to include variations in the most important parts of your page’s content.

Using the SEO WordSpinner Plugin

Using the following settings:

Split Character: |
Start Character(s): {
End Character(s): }
An example content spin:

This is a {an example|a demonstration|a demo|a test} of the powers of content spinning

Could produce the following spun variations:

This is an example of the powers of content spinning
This is a demonstration of the powers of content spinning
This is a demo of the powers of content spinning
This is a test of the powers of content spinning
In order for search engines to not consider your content duplicate, you need to change your text more than the text above. The example above is for demonstration purposes only.

Would you like a person to demonstrate how this works?

Text used above: {Do you want|Would you like} {me|us|a person} to {test|demonstrate|show you} how this works?

It works for Links, too.

How to deal with WordPress plugin problems

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Jeff Kemp / examiner.com

Advice to Solve a Recent Plugin Problem
A recent visitor to my website (www.MileHighTechGuy.com) asked for some advice on dealing with a WordPress problem they were having, stating that they weren’t ‘savvy’ in these matters. The problem they were having was a WordPress plugin was causing an error and actually locking them out of the WordPress Admin screen so that they could not login to fix the problem!

I haven’t written any articles in a while, but that comment inspired me and thus resulted in this post, which is a summary of How To Deal With Plugin Problems in hopes that it helps some folks out there. If this post helps you please let me know by leaving a comment on this site.

Plugins Don’t Always Play Nice
It is important to note that not all plugins ‘play nice’ by working together with other plugins or themes. When plugins don’t work well with other plugins or themes you have a ‘plugin conflict’.

WordPress plugins can often ‘throw errors’ or cause conflicts with other plugins or themes since they are made by many different 3rd parties.

If an error or problem does occur on your WordPress site it typically happens after upgrading, installing, or activating a new plugin or theme, or upgrading the WordPress platform itself.

After activating or upgrading a plugin within WordPress, it is not uncommon for WordPress to display an error like the following somewhere on your Admin screen or sometimes even within your website:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /home/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/my-plugin-folder/my-plugin-page.php on line 195

But even if a plugin doesn’t throw an error that doesn’t necessarily mean that everything is OK. You still may have a conflict with another plugin or possibly your WordPress theme that may be ‘breaking’ your website by causing other plugins or functionality to stop working properly.

Always Test Your Website After Any Upgrades or Changes
It may be very obvious or maybe not so obvious that other functions of your website aren’t working properly, so…

It is very important and highly recommended that after upgrading, installing, or activating a new plugin or theme (or making any other changes to your website or theme templates) that you take the time to experiment with and thoroughly test your website and even your Admin screens to make sure that your site (and backend) still looks and functions as it should.

How To Test for Problems with Your Website
The best way to verify that your site is working as it should is to keep another browser window (Control+N) or browser tab open (Control+T) to your website, then start clicking around your web pages and links while carefully observing how things look.

While browsing pages of your website make sure you refresh each page by using Control+R (Windows) or Command+R (Mac) to be sure you are not looking at an older cached page. To be really sure you are not looking at a cached page you can force a full page refresh by using Control+Shift+R (Windows) or Command+Shift+R (Mac). This takes a little longer to reload each page, but if you aren’t sure you are looking at a fresh reloaded page this is sometimes necessary.

Dealing with Plugin Errors and Plugin Conflicts

Try Deactivating Plugins
Sometimes problems caused by plugin errors or plugin conflicts are not ‘show stoppers’ and will allow you to continue using your WordPress website without any significant functionality problems.

If after activating or upgrading a plugin and you get an error, one way to test to see if it is OK for you to leave a plugin activated try going back one screen (Alt+Left Arrow (PC) or Command+Left Arrow (Mac)) from the plugin screen, then refresh the page to see if the error message goes away.

In this case if the error message goes away and it looks like the plugin is installed and activated (even if you received an error saying the plugin did not activate successfully), you are probably OK to leave that plugin activated, if not you probably want to deactivate or delete the plugin. (If it looks like the plugin activated OK but the upgrade or install caused an error it may be that the installation script threw an error, but maybe the plugin will still work. It is up to you at that point to take a chance by leaving the plugin activated/installed or not).

But on some occasions a plugin error or conflict can break your website or even lock you out of your Admin Dashboard when trying to login.

If this happens, don’t panic… since we are talking about WordPress there is an easy solution to get your website working again!

What should you do if you are having problems with a plugin? In an effort to diagnose and fix the problem with your website the first thing to try is to deactivate any plugin that you recently upgraded, installed, or activated (you may also want to deactivate other plugins as well, even if not recently upgraded or activated). Of course if your plugin won’t even allow you to login to the Admin screen then deactivating plugins is not an option.

If you recently changed themes you can also try reverting to the default WordPress theme (“Kubrick”) for testing purposes. If it isn’t obvious that your problem went away you may need to once again test your website to see if it is working properly or not.

If you can’t narrow down which plugin is causing the problems and your site is still broken (it could even be a plugin that has been installed and working properly for a while until something else changed), continue deactivating plugins (and possibly revert to the default WordPress theme for de-bugging purposes) until you can identify the culprit.

Delete the Offending Plugin
Once you have identified which plugin is causing misery in your life, and if deactivating the conflicting plugin did not fix your problem, the next step you should take is to DELETE the offending plugin entirely. Deleting a plugin may sound radical, but it is a step I have had to take several times, and it always works (thank you, WordPress). This may be the only option you have if you are locked out of your Admin login.

The best way to delete the plugin is by deleting the whole folder that the plugin created within your plugin directory on the remote server. To access remote files you can use the File Manager within the Control Panel available within your web host, or you can use an FTP client to access the remote files on the server in order to delete the offending plugin.

There are many FTP clients available, some of them even free (search Google if you need more):

FileZilla
CyberDuck
Coda (Mac)
CuteFTP
SmartFTP
Dreamweaver
Advertisement

The path to your plugin folder on the remote server will look something like this:

public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/my-plugin-folder-name/

Once you have deleted the entire plugin folder then logging into Admin should work fine. Gratefully, WordPress responds to deleted plugins very well…if you are on the plugins screen you will see a note displayed at the top of the screen notifying you that a plugin has been deleted, and amazingly WordPress works just fine after deleting a plugin.

Since WordPress handles deleting plugins so gracefully WordPress makes it easy to want to constantly experiment with more plugins to add more functionality to your website. So go ahead and play around with plugins and themes, just be sure to backup your site now and then for safe measure.

Live Without the Offending Plugin
If you have a plugin that just won’t cooperate, you probably have to live without the offending plugin, or at least maybe until the plugin author releases an upgrade that works for you.

You may want to send a note with any error messages or problems you are having with a particular plugin or theme to the comment form of the author’s homepage to expedite resolution to the error or conflict.

If the plugin offers functionality that I feel I really can’t live without, or it was a plugin that worked for a while then stopped working after a recent upgrade, I will sometimes leave the plugin ‘installed’, but NOT ‘activate’ it.

The benefit of this arrangement (leaving a plugin ‘installed’, but NOT ‘activated’ ) is that as long as an offending plugin is not activated it usually will not break your site, and you get the benefit of WordPress telling you when an upgrade to the plugin is available (via notification next to the plugin within the plugin screen) in the event you want to give it another go in hopes that the upgrade solves the problem you were having before.

Of course, you may find that the problem persists even with the latest plugin release, in which case you have to to through the whole cycle of things again that I already mentioned in order to alleviate the problem.

Still Getting Errors When Upgrading or Installing Plugins?
If you continue to get errors every time you attempt to install a plugin, check to see if the error is related to a memory limit issue having to do with WordPress. In this case the error may look something like:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1816813 bytes) in /home/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 499

Try changing the configuration value for your WordPress database memory allocation within the wp-settings.php file within the root directory of your WordPress install.

Find the line of code that looks like this:

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

And change the 64M to 128M. When I had this problem I adjusted the memory limit from 64M to 128M, and it solved my problem so that I was able to install plugins without any issues.

Shameless Plug: I Can Provide Low Cost Websites with Plugins that Work Together
Now it’s time for a shameless plug:

Tired of spending hours and hours researching which plugins to use, and struggling to get them to work the way you want?

Cheers, I hope this article has helped someone. Please let me know if it has helped you or if you have anything to add by leaving a comment on this site.

Internet Marketing Professional Turns Lead into Gold

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Larry McDonald/Huffingtonpost.com

When it comes to internet marketing, most people think of using search engine optimization to increase traffic to their website for the most general terms that can be used to describe their business.

This can result in an increase in traffic but not cause an increase in sales, which is the real goal. You may just work harder, for less money, with more overhead, and have lower job satisfaction through out your company.

Most professionals, whether attorneys or dentists, have a hierarchy to their clientele. Each wants business, but prefers certain types of business that may be more profitable, more convenient, reduce stress on limited resources, and provide more and better quality future referrals.

Search engine optimization, search engine marketing, internet marketing, whatever you choose to call it can describe a plethora of specific tactics.

If you are a professional you want to focus your thinking on selecting the cream, not the milk, and especially not the skim milk. Make a list of the low hanging fruit and give special attention to the most attractive clients.

Pick the clients that offer you the most long-term benefits. Which ones will be the most profitable for the effort you expend? Which types will be the easiest to handle for your staff? Which category will give you the most time with your kids?

Once you have ranked the types of customers you really would like to work with, you can stop focusing on the entire ocean and focus your your SEO investment using a laser and attract the cream you identified. You will be turning lead into gold.

Focusing on narrow niches of highly desirable clients will improve your life and bottom line far faster than attempting to attract everyone who is interested in attorneys, accountants, teeth or construction. Better to build your site to attract estate planning, high net worth individuals, gold bridge work, and luxury contractors.

To accomplish this will require sophisticated marketing thinking. You will need an SEO expert who can empathize with your ideal customer. You will need to make major modifications to the content on your site, not just add keywords. It is a marketing approach vs. a technical one.

By taking a more focused approach to your internet marketing, you will have far more satisfaction, earn more, have more time for your family, and give your staff greater job satisfaction. Everyone likes to work with the creme de la creme.

We know it works because we’ve been doing it for years.
