Evening All!

Can i use SEO YEOST on a page that doesn't have any main page content on the page itself except for wording in the sections (masthead, boxes and banners)

i read the following post but i think it's out of date and doesn't seem to work http://www.pagelines.com/forum/topic/10487-using-yoast-wordpress-seo/page__st__20

Thanks in advance. :)

The answer to many issues can be found by searching in the forum before posting as someone else  may very well have had the same problem before you have.  Also, reading the documentation can help you gain a good understanding of how everything works.

No, yoast or any other 'seo' plugin read the post content or the post excerpt, they will not pick up sections inserted into the page, so even if you have no content/postloop enabled on the page add content anyway so the plugin picks up the keywords. Worth a try.

Hi Simon, thanks for the reply.

Do you mean i need to add content to get it to work? is it a bad idea to not have content and just sections.

Well you said you have a page with no actual content area, so even if its not visible to the end user, adding it to the content area at leat gives the plugin something

sorry i see what you mean. Great idea - i shall give it a try, The reason i didnt do this was i once made a site i couldnt get into google rankings with a few years ago. i had used sliced images as it was from .psd provided by the owner and i got round i by having the image tet in white at the bottom of the page in the footer and google penalised me for it (i believe) - for having font that wasnt visible. that;s what i was led to believe anyway.

i shall try this..

thanks

      How do I get support??
      By Bleuy+
      How can I get support on pagelines DMS? The product isn't that old and my skeleton themes aren't working and I can't get support in the same way?

      Templates not working
      By Bleuy+
      I have a number of legacy websites that are running on the above version of Pagelines DMS, where the template has stopped working. I am using a skeleton theme to all of them. What do I need to do to rectify this.

      It's a sad goodbye
      By Anthony King+
      It is with much sorrow that I have to say goodbye to a product that had such great potential.
      There has been no acknowledgement from anybody as to whether or not Pagelines will continue
      or even if they are going to hand it over to someone that would keep the project going. I can't
      keep shelling out money every month to a company that either no longer exists or has chosen to 
      abandoned their customer base. Well it has been a nice 5 years.

      Refund Billing
      By ideascurator+
      Hello Pagelines,   I no longer use pagelines services. I have deactivated the automatic annual payment. But it already charged to my credit card. Since I cancelled my contract before the end, Can I request to refund?

      What is the status of Pagelines Platform
      By Anthony King+
      Hello,
      I am wanting to know what the status of the Pagelines Platform.
      I have noticed that there has been absolutely no updates on Platform 5 for over 8 months.
      Please tell me you haven't gone off on another tangent and going to build the next great solution
      and then leave all of us to have to completely rebuild our sites like we did for
      Pagelines, then DMS, then Pagelines Platform.
      I like what you build, but what you need to do is build one product and then make it better, rather than 
      abandoning it and building something else.
      You haven't done anything for so long that even WordPress is providing a warning.
      "Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress."
      So what is the Status. I mean if I am going to pay a monthly fee for a product, I don't want to pay for one
      that is no longer being supported. You have a great product, I'm not bashing it, I'm just wondering what 
      your next move is because I have business decisions to make for myself, and whether of not this is something
      I should stick with.

      Please be kind enough to respond.

      Thank You,
      Anthony
