I’ve been developing WordPress SEO themes for so long that the vast majority of SEO features I use are built into the Stallion Responsive theme (best WordPress SEO theme available) because so few WordPress plugin developers get the SEO spot on. Basically I find an interesting plugin or code hack and adapt it to exactly what I want and add it to my SEO theme, been working this way for over half a decade so my SEO theme includes a lot of SEO features from various plugins and code snippets I’ve found over the years. Occasionally I stumble on a WordPress plugin that’s either perfect SEO wise and so requires no modification and/or is so well supported by the plugin […]

WordPress YouTube Preview
How do I show YouTube previews in my blog posts?
I like the theme but my YouTube posts all went to Text.
Post Teaser WordPress SEO Plugin
The Talian theme shouldn’t have any negative impact on embedded code.
Is the problem on the actual blog posts or the archives like Categories/Home Page etc…?
If it’s with archives that will be because the theme is set to show an excerpt of posts on archive pages to reduce duplicate content problems. If this is the problem suggests you’ve been using a theme that shows the entire blog post on archive pages (not a good idea SEO wise).
If this is the issue (if the site you’ve linked to in your author name is the site, it is the issue) there the Post Teaser WordPress SEO Plugin this uses the full content of a post to generate an excerpt which means embedded code and HTML (links, images etc…) is shown on archive pages if it falls in the excerpt.
I see you are using a WordPress autoblog plugin, I’ve been playing around with those types of plugins recently and they can generate a lot of high bandwidth content on your home page if you use themes that show full posts. I have my own quite powerful dedicated server and even using the Post Teaser plugin generates home pages with a lot of images, YouTube videos so for that type of site I’ve not activated the plugin (I tend to use the Post Teaser WordPress SEO Plugin on most sites as well).
There’s also an SEO argument for using an HTML free archive pages (like the default Talian 05 theme creates) on autoblogs as they have quite a lot of affiliate links and though you want to send your traffic to Amazon etc… majority of your traffic is going to be long tail SERPs that go direct to the blog post with the content rather than archive pages, so it can be argued you only need the affiliate links on the blog posts.
If you do use the plugin above and want full posts for posts on archive pages set the number of words to a high number so the entire post is shown.

WordPress SEO Post Teaser Plugin
I see the SEO Teaser Plugin is working.
Do you mean on the current top two posts (YouTube videos) lack the continue reading link at the bottom?
If so that’s normal behavior for the plugin, if a post is small and the plugin posts all the content on the archive page (like your home page) it leaves the Continue Reading link off as there’s nothing more to read. There’s still the link at the top of that post (the title of the post) and the comments link to get to the post.
You can setup the Post Teaser Plugin to show that link if you want.
Under the Post teaser settings page under
“If the post is displayed in full, I want the message to be in the following format:”
Replace the contents of the box with:
Update Settings and all posts will show the link.

I’ve pasted the URLs below each description above, copy and paste into a browser.
I don’t like wasting link benefit on sites that’s not mine, hence the non clickable links. Call me SEO Scrooge :-)

Related Articles WordPress Plugin
Hi David
I have just noticed a new fascinating “Related Articles’ plugin that you use (hereunder).
I guess it comes with a CSS div class.
Can you please direct me on how to find this plugin or is it your own development?
Thanks
Contextual Related Posts Plugin SEO Version
That’s the Contextual Related Posts Plugin SEO Version (my version).
Found that plugin a couple of months ago, had a bug with the new WordPress custom navigation menus which I’ve fixed. The plugin is available for a free download on the WordPress SEO Plugins page.

WP-postRatings Plugin
I’d like to use a like/dislike voting script for a few sites I’m designing.
I tested WP-postRatings Plugin and it’s not showing up on my test site with Stallion installed. Is there an incompatibility you know of?
A better question is how can I implement a like/dislike button that also tracks and displays the # of each vote.
WP-postRatings Plugin doesn’t do that without a few hacks.
Any ideas?

WP-PostRatings WordPress Plugin Installation
Had a quick look at the plugins installation instructions: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postratings/installation/
Did you follow those instructions about editing template files?
On a test site running WordPress 3.2 and Stallion adding the code to the single.php file works as expected.
Make sure under the Stallion Layout Options you haven’t ticked
wp_enqueue_scripts Off: Prevents WordPress from adding javascript to a site.
That would stop the WP-PostRatings plugin adding relevant javascript to the your WordPress site.
