I thought it was time for an update on the blog. Well we updated our SEO Marketing Blog to WordPress 2.8. If you remember the the blog was producing duplicate content left and right. Although this is very common in almost all Word Press Blogs it was killing our rankings. We thought we had our bases covered with all the right SEO plug-ins but a couple of them were not working properly, causing a duplicate content issue.
We tied to use our back ups but lost the old posts because of another issue. To say the least it has been a major pain trying to fix multiple issues. I will try to get the old posts back on the blog or rewrite them. The old instructional videos will definitely be back in the form of new posts. “I will really miss all those good back-links”.
Here is what we did to fix our problem and plug ins we recommend every webmaster or WordPress publisher use for optimizing their blog.
