To the Edited Keyword Stuffer,
Again, this issue was only with the one version of the plugin that is mentioned in the post. This would NOT be the reason your site has dropped out of the rankings recently.

Also, seriously, give up trying to get keywords in your comment name. A large majority of blogs out there nofollow links from their comments so it’s not going to do you any good & will only piss people off. Work on making your site more useful or creating content that will attract links naturally, deal?

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this. I am horrified to learn that my website has dropped out totally of the search rankings and the reason could just be this!! I was wondering why for the past few weeks and found it very strange as I still see googlebot crawling my website. Now I will uncheck the setting and hope it at least comes back on the serps!

I am using all in one seo, I have tried headspace2, my home page tittle become very long because headspace2 use blog title in general setting together with home page title from headspace2.

Linda, it is a dumb setting but it was even worse when the plugin didn’t maintain your settings when upgrading. Thankfully that issue has been fixed. The noindex setting is still set by default but at least once it’s changed it stays that way.

I cannot thank you enough for this post. I am mortified to discover this.
I have spent half the day going into all my clients blogs and unchecking the noindex button. I agree with you completely.
What a stupid setting to create as a default.
I am furious right now.

Thank you so much for taking the time to add screen shots showing the exact update process, the messages received, and the proper settings to avoid/fix this issue. You have helped a lot of people, including me (i’m in the middle of the update right now…).

Hello

Thanks for the informative post..

I have a problem with my blog I don’t know if it’s related to All in One SEo or to changing my permalink structure

I purchased this blog recently from a developer with some content on it that was already indexed in Google, I checked the content on copyscape to avoid being a duplication of other content.

I changed my permalink structure and installed permalink migration plugin..
I posted some new posts, submitted them to Digg, Mixx, Reddit…etc to get indexed, got some backlinks, waiting for them to be indexed..

The social media submissions of my post were crawled, but not the posts themselves on the blog!

The blog seems to be not indexed by Google lately, about a week now and no update for the cache of the blog, even the old posts appear with the old permalink structures..

I don’t know how to get these posts indexed faster, I got backlinks, links from social sites..rss submissions..all what I could think about..
Google crawls all my promotion pieces, but not my posts!

Any suggestions?

Joel, the issue was fixed shortly after this post was published and is no longer a problem. I always recommend keeping your plugins up to date as well so when issues are discovered, you benefit from the fixes that are included in new updates.

All, Google finally started indexing my site thanks. I specified the sitemap.xml file and a few days later it was indexed.

Thanks,
Jeff
