Today I'm telling you about a simple plugin for WordPress whose knowledge alone can save the world of online publishing from a slow and unnerving agony. It is called Term management tools and allows you to merge semantically close taxonomies. Yes, today is a good day. Since I have been working as a freelancer, therefore for about 6 months, I am often contacted by owners of web projects who ask me for advice on the optimization of their websites and on the most suitable compositional logic for intercepting traffic (case by case). Well, one of the problems I see most often is that the large number of editors makes it necessary to de-index tags . Tags (let's remember) are elements of a website's taxonomies that aggregate articles , just like categories , so much so that from a logical point of view, tags and categories are almost the same thing. Why do so many websites de-index tags? This happens to prevent a large volume of articles optimized for the same key from being marked by different tags but with the same meaning, due to "clumsy" editors.
For example, if the topic is Scarlett Johansson , the beautiful American actress, we know that the name is difficult to write, so whoever is composing an article can make typing errors by simply "tagging" the actress's name incorrectly: Scarlet Joanson Scarlett Jhoannson Scarlett Johanson I therefore cannot run the risk of having 100 articles marked for the first tag, 70 for the second and 120 for the third. It would be the death of taxonomic logic. When situations like this occur, web masters find themselves in the delicate situation of having to open hundreds of articles and correct clumsy Denmark Telegram Number Data tags... or the most convenient path is chosen, a check in the box to de-index the tags, a quick visit to the web master tools and away you go, no more tags. Now, although many authoritative SEOs maintain that tags should almost always be deindexed, precisely to avoid situations like this, I believe that this "final solution" is a defeatist act, in short, a sin. Rather, I would invest in the training of website editors aimed at SEO copywriting , the discipline that anyone dealing with content should at least understand in its basic logic if not master. Unify tags and categories But let's get to the point.
The fact of adequately training the editors of a blog will allow us not to fall into the same mistakes again, but what do we do with the past? If a website has now indexed 50,000 tags (I saw it with my own eyes) how can the mess caused in terms of scanning resources practically wasted by bots be remedied? A few days ago, Angelo Randazzo passed me under the table a really interesting WordPress plugin that solves the problem of taxonomies that are similar in terms of their semantics, but separated due to typing errors or approximation (unawareness) of the editors. The plugin is called Term management tools and allows you to unify tags and categories. Just one click is enough to do a merge between two aggregates that would have required days of work. Hurray! I would like to recommend it to anyone who has understood the importance of tags and I thank my client (who therefore becomes my teacher). Oh man, did you already know him?!
