Hey all,

 

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  I ran Blog Grader and it is detecting that some of my previous post titles are too long.  If I shorten them to improve my blog grade, will I break anything on the search engine side?

 

Thanks!

Buck

It depends if you are getting traffic to them. I would not change them if they are bringing in visitors.

If you do want to change them then you may want to do a redirect. I do this often and use this plugin for wordpress: http://wordpress.org/extend/pl…..direction/

I use the redirection plugin as well in my wealth informatics blog.  In an another blog I have I use Simple 310 Redirects plugin as the redirection plugin didn't work well with that theme.

Both of them does the job well.

I use the redirection plugin as well so that old titles are automatically redirected to the new titles.

Agree with the others; if you end up changing the permalink you'll want to make sure you have a redirect there.

Hey Forest,

 

Will look into this.  Honestly, some of my old links don't provide traffic so don't think it matters if I change those titles or not.  We'll see.  Thanks! Smile

Hey Suba,

 

Thanks will check it out! Cool  Any reason you didn't select one for consistency?

I used the redirection plugin for my finance blog. After using it for 6 months, I started another blog, a non-finance blog. In that blog I added the redirection plugin, but it didn't work well. I did some searching and found it was a problem with the theme conflict. So I tried the 301 simple redirects and it worked. I could have deleted the redirection plugin in my finance blog and used the 301 redirects plugin as well, but I just didn't. No good reason Smile I might have to manually add all the redirections again if I did I guess.
