Displaying 1 To 15 Of 15 Comments All In One SEO Plugin Reaches 10 Million Downloads Hi Jeffro, Kevin Stacey here.. That’s an amazing milestone for AIO and as far as the debate between the two I think it’s a matter of preference. AIO is simpler in nature and worry-free, but the Yoast plugin offers many more options for those who want to tinker. For effective WordPress SEO onpage optimization, free plugins like All in One SEO Pack and WordPress SEO By Yoast are really great as they lay down the basic SEO foundation for a WordPress site, but every blog is different and nothing works best for everyone. I always suggest looking at a side-by-side comparison of the best seo plugins for WordPress in order to make an informed decision of what the best plugin is for that blogger and their website’s specific needs. Here’s my most recent write-up on the subject: SEO Pressor vs Easy WP SEO vs Scribe SEO Check it out and let me know what you think. Great article btw…I’ll be referencing this post on my main blog. » Posted By Kevin On February 28, 2012 @ 7:02 PM Review Of GravityForms – Could Creating Forms Be Any More Kick Ass? Any reason you haven’t asked these questions on our forums. I’m sure you’re aware by now that there’s a pre-sale questions section that’s open to anyone. We’ll be happy to answer your questions there and others will get the benefit of seeing the answers as well. http://forum.gravityhelp.com/forum/pre-sale-questions » Posted By kevin On October 7, 2010 @ 11:18 PM Would You Take WordPress Advice From A Non WordPress Using Site? I build sites with WordPress, Drupal, SharePoint, and ColdFusion where I work. Each has strengths/weaknesses and I prefer to judge a site based on its content than on its technology. » Posted By Kevin On April 29, 2010 @ 10:25 AM I generally prefer the Woo UX over the WP Menus UX. It’s still clunky, but IMO it’s less so. A coworker and I jumped on IRC yesterday to talk through a different Menus issue and I think came to a good compromise that will effect positive change. So if you have real concerns and can describe something you think would improve it, there’s still some opportunity. » Posted By Kevin On April 28, 2010 @ 9:40 AM Use The Media Library Or Hand Code? The media library is pretty limited for organization and finding of files when you have more than about two screens worth. It really needs an integrated categorization and tagging scheme. » Posted By Kevin On April 20, 2010 @ 10:25 AM Using Amazon S3 To Set Up A CDN In WordPress Yeah, using the W3 Total Cache plugin makes configuring the CDN super easy. We use it on several of our sites. It rewrites the url’s for you, so you’re up and running in only a few minutes. A good affordable option is WordPress CDN by MaxCDN. » Posted By Kevin On December 9, 2010 @ 8:41 PM Who’s Right? Network Solutions Or Matt Honestly, this kind of article bugs me because it does more to fan the flames of WordPress controversy than actually look for core issues. It’s not about the technical underpinnings of what’s happening, though it appears to be. It’s really a bit of cheap armchair gamesmanship by taking superficial press releases and setting them up in a brawl. I don’t even think it’s done with intentional malice, it’s just the same kind of thing as you get from any sports commentator show where the talking about the drama of the game is the focus rather than the actual playing of the game. A good article would be to actually understand and describe what a good security architecture of a shared host is, and how Network Solutions and WordPress need to be configured to meet that goal and where the actual failings happened. Interview the parties, asking probing questions of what the architecture is and why, rather than just bickering over some press releases (both of which are bad PR, IMO). Of course, to do that requires actually knowing what the best practices are so that the right questions can even be asked. » Posted By Kevin On April 14, 2010 @ 11:16 AM Sweet! Definitely looking forward to playing with it! » Posted By Kevin On March 5, 2010 @ 2:58 PM It looks like an awesome product, but I’m surprised they didn’t get the jump on 3.0 multisite mode. I would definitely pay for a solution to let users do a DB backup of just their site to then import into either a single or multi-site wordpress install. » Posted By Kevin On March 4, 2010 @ 2:41 PM Review Of iThemes Builder Theme Buyer Warning, Builder only works with 9 Themes, not the full arsenal you get when you buy the all access themes pass. The purchase page is deceiving, leading one to believe that all themes work with builder, when in reality, only 9 themes work, and those 9 are bunky and limited at best. When I realized this, I immediately asked for a refund, simple mistake I thought, right? Well, the folks at ithemes REFUSE to issue a refund, despite the fact that it was only a few hours after I realized this shortcoming. So now I must pay for something that I am not going to use, and they have been very uncooperative in that they’d rather keep my money, than issue a simple refund. » Posted By Kevin On July 28, 2010 @ 8:17 AM Should WordPress Change The Blog Nomenclature Within The Backend? I vote yes. Not because of the CMS issue, per se. Most non-tech people don’t know or care about the term “CMS” and good tech people will look at what a tool does rather than what it’s called. A blog is a CMS, a wiki is a CMS, a handcoded news engine is a CMS, Drupal is a CMS, SharePoint is a CMS, Documentum is a CMS, etc. What we build with them is sites. » Posted By Kevin On November 4, 2009 @ 2:03 PM Roll Your Own URL Shortener With Pretty Link I use prettylink and I like the automatic creation of shortened url’s it does for me when I am posting to my companies blogs. I don’t even have to think about it. It also automatically tweets the post for me! So, talk about easy, I think this is even easier than the FF sidebar mentioned in your article. » Posted By Kevin On August 19, 2009 @ 12:27 PM Making Money From GPL Plugin Development Chip, Obviously however, he is willing to display your themes on WordPress.org if you only charge for support and the theme itself is free. Why doesn’t Matt realize that this will ultimately lead to consumers not trusting the designers? What is going to prevent a designer from designing a theme in a way that it REQUIRES support in order to use it? And why would a designer choose such a business model when it would require more work on his part to just provide support? That is, he could make just as much, and realistically, probably a lot more money, selling the theme and not providing support. I mean once you build the theme, it’s done; you sell it and make money. The only time required is the time it takes to build it and advertise. If you are only going to make money by supporting it, it’s going to take a lot more time, expenses, and your earnings potential will be much less because support requires hands-on paid work which is also a limiting resource. Selling a theme however, really doesn’t have a limiting resource except for your ability to advertise it I guess. Hence, I don’t see designers adopting this service based business model any time soon. Which reminds me…why is the Rev2 ad on WordPress.org no longer there? Did Brian Gardner bail on the whole “Premium Open Source WordPress Themes” idea? » Posted By Kevin On March 11, 2009 @ 8:13 PM Hey Chip, Uh oh, I just checked the theme directory and the Rev2 ad is no longer there. Anyone have any update on this? » Posted By Kevin On March 11, 2009 @ 2:19 PM What about a freemium model? The e-Commerce plugin uses this business model. They have a free version and a premium version as well as paid support. That seems to be an agreeable compromise, no? » Posted By Kevin On March 6, 2009 @ 2:09 PMComments Posted By Kevin

It sounds like Matt doesn’t care if you sell themes, plugins, or whatever as long as you don’t try to do it on WordPress.org.
Are you sure Matt is totally against commercial themes and plugins? I wonder if he is changing his tune since Brian Gardner’s Revolution2 theme advertisement was placed in the theme directory? See image here: http://justintadlock.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/revolution-ad-wordpress.png
