Like many others SEO plugins, this plugin require your theme to call wp_head() hook on the HTML header. Put <?php wp_head(); ?> code between your <head>…</head> , usually on header.php file. Open file header.php on theme WordPress Default as a reference if you need to.

Hi,

First, thank you for developing SEO STT for WordPress, I found the concept and its application very nice!

One little thing that could be improved though. My website is in French, and we use quite often the sign ‘ in this language. This sign (and maybe quite a few others) is not correctly treated by your plugin. For example, “l’eau” (water) becomes leau or l\eau when parsed in SEO STT. Although less frequent, I guess English-speaking users would have the same issue with sentences like “Where’s the best blahblah” or “I’ve a blahblah”, do you see what I mean?

I would be glad to provide more examples from my website if the description is not sufficient, and if you could fix this little issue in a next release!
Thanks a lot,

Cyril, Switzerland

Somehow, your contact form does not work, so I put this here as a comment and hope you see it:

Hi, I am using your plugin SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2 on http://nbcthevoicefan.com and I am very happy with it. However, it seems to have a glitch.

If you visit my website and scroll all the way down in the sidebar, you will see your widget. Click on a link and you see what happens: it asks to stay on the page.

I have a plugin that opens a webpage of “lets get social” a product from Ryan Deiss. It seems your plugin activates that plugin. I also had this problem with WPSubscriber and they were able to fix it. Hope you will be able to fix it as well and update the plugin.

Thanks.

Hi, by pasting the code on single.php and page.php and thus not automatically put it below the content of the page or post the problem seems to be solved… Thought to let you know.

Hi,

I am using your plugin called “SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2″.

It was working fine before but now a days, it started to log keyword of visitors who comes through CPC. I dont like to track those keywords as it wont be related to post and it makes mess of keywords on post.

Have a way to exclude those keywords. We just want to have only keywords of visitors who comes through organic search to directly that page.

(Currently, it stores keyword of previous page also. Ex. If user comes to my home page with “Today News” through Google CPC and if he surf to xyz post then it showing this keyword in xyz post. And this makes post with unrelated keywords.)
