Hey everyone,
I've been having major traffic issues since Feb and have tried so many things to improve. I tried moving to https but that didn't do anything, but then I found this Yoast SEO and started using that.
So far it hasn't helped at all except that it does make twitter cards and those get a lot of clicks, other than that it's done fuck all. I don't want to get rid of it though because I pretty much only get traffic from twitter since google raped me in Feb for no reason.
Anyways, I did some of those website audits and they tell me I have duplicate metas / descriptions. I took a look and couldn't believe what I saw, there is a lot of new metas with YOAST seo. Unfortunately, it looks like it's negatively affecting me.
Check out this picture of my metas. The 3 at the top are default, the yoast ones all below and when I disable yoast they go too, but look at them. In total there are 4 different description metas but all slightly different.
Site audits tell me I have duplicate metas though, so ... any tips?
How do I fix this within yoast? Is there a way?
There's a meta description by wordpress
Then there is a meta "property description" which is longer than the wordpress one.
There's an meta "property og:description" exact same as above, no idea what it is though.
and Meta "name twitter:description". All 3 of the yoast ones are the same description.
Any idea if these are considered duplicate? They are all slightly different yet the same.
Thanks.
