Where do I get started with Jeff Johnson’s Underground Training Lab?
Jeff suggests that you start here:
The PDF files won’t open, what’s wrong?
The PDF files are using the latest reader technologies from Adobe. You must have the latest version of Adobe reader to access the PDF files.
Please download and install the latest free Adobe reader:
Where do I download the blog software package?
To download the blog software package you need to subscribe to our mailing list here: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/main.php by entering your name and email.
Next, you have to check your email with the subject line:
“RESPONSE REQUIRED: Confirm your request for information from undergroundlab@aweber.com”
Click on the link in that email to confirm your email address.
After you confirm your email address, you will receive a second email with the subject line:
“your new seo blog installation package from Jeff Johnson”
At the bottom of the email will be instructions on how to download the blog software starting with: “So here’s what you do“.
If you did not get any of the emails, check your spam filters. If you still did not get the messages after checking your spam filters contact our help desk and we will assist you further:
The username and password you sent me in my email to download the blog software doesn’t work. I’m getting Error 401 – Unauthorized.
Try to manually type in the username and password. Even though using copy & paste is fast, sometimes it can select unnecessary spaces before or after the username or password. Even though you cannot see the spaces it will result in an incorrect username and/or password.
The simple resolution to this problem is to manually type in the username and password and you’ll be granted access to the download page.
What is FTP and why do I need this?
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a method to upload files to a web host server. To understand how to use an FTP client you first would need to setup a domain and webhost to obtain your FTP information. You would then use your FTP information in an FTP client such as Filezilla to upload the blog package to your webhost. If you are unfamiliar with how to setup a domain and webhost, I suggest you read more about domains at GoDaddy.com and look into webhosts at companies such as 1and1.com and HostGator.com.
Our blog software does require some basic knowledge about domains, webhosts, and FTP in order to install. I would suggest you first become familiar with domains and webhosts, in which understanding what it means to FTP will follow.
I need help setting up my FTP information with Filezilla, what do I do?
If you are having difficulty with Filezilla, I suggest that you check out to the documentation by Filezilla here: http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Main_Page
I followed the installation instructions to where it says to upload the files, but where do I upload the files?
Depending upon your web hosting company and FTP information, this directory could be numerous locations. Common directories to upload are httpdocs, public_html and the first directory you are presented with when you connect with your FTP information.
If you see a httpdocs or public_html directory, then most likely you would want to upload the files into there. If you do not see a httpdocs or public_html directory, then you would upload the files in the current directory you are connected with.
All of these common directories will upload the files to the root of your domain (I.E. – www.YOURDOMAIN.com). If you create a new folder in the root directory, say “wordpress”, then the domain of your blog would be www.YOURDOMAIN.com/wordpress.
I tried to install the blog software and go an error similar to this:
Warning: main(../wp-config.php) [function.main]: failed to open
stream: No such file or directory
in /home/domain/public_html /admin.php on line 7
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-
config.php’
(include_path=’.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php’)
in /home/domain/public_html /admin.php on line 7
What does this mean and what do I do?
If you got an error similar to the one above, this means, while uploading the blog software with your FTP client, some files were not uploaded completely. Occasionally FTP clients can get disconnected when a large number of files are being uploaded.
To fix this problem, just re-upload the missing files. In the example above the missing file is the wp-config.php. You can tell because it will follow the Warning message, enclosed in parenthesis.
What if I already have wordpress installed? Can I upgrade my current blog to use the free SEO package?
The answer is yes, but is not recommended. Here is a tutorial on how to upgrade your blog: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/42/upgrade-wordpress/
This is for experience users only!
I tried to install my blog and I got this message, “Error establishing a database connection”, what do I do?
This error message means that the database information that you save into the wp-config.php file is incorrect. First, check to make sure that you typed in everything correctly then try again. If the error message persists, if maybe a problem with user permissions. Make sure that you granted access to the user your created for the database to the database.
If you’re confused on this, please re-read over the steps carefully under Step 1 here: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/2/seo-wordpress-installation/
If you’re still having troubles, contact your web host.
I tried to click on the button on the XML Sitemap page that says “Apply Jeff Johnson’s Configurations” and I do not see it. What is wrong?
This feature is available to the most recent version of our package, version 1.2a.
Version ‘a’ does not have this upgrade feature. Only versions 0.9b and 1.2a have this feature. If you are upgrading your blog make sure you have the most up-to-date package. Upload the entire contents of that package to the location of your current blog, overwriting all files. (Except for the wp-config.php file, of course)
You can distinguish the difference by looking at the name of the zip folder (notice the number letter version at the end of the name of the file):
Most up-to-date package file name:
undergroundtraininglab-seo-wordpress-1.2a.zip
I tried clicking on a link to a post on my newly installed blog and I’m getting a 404 error, page cannot be displayed. What is going on?
The error you are getting is due to a permalink structure error. This is a rather simple fix. In the instructions (http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/2/seo-wordpress-installation/) Step 5 parts g., h., and i. explain what is needed to fix this problem. Read these steps carefully and it should correct your problem.

http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/main.phpSimpleCaptcha plugin Issues
1.) Try to deactivate and reactivate the SimpleCaptcha plugin from Plugins>Installed from the admin side. If that still doesnt work, you may have to manually install the plugin. Connect to your blog via FTP, then go to wp-content/plugins and delete the current simple-captcha folder. Download the newest version of that plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-captcha/ Extract the folder simplecaptcha and upload it the wp-content/plugins directory. If this is confusing, you can refer to Wordpress’s installation of plugins here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins After you’ve manually installed the simpleCaptcha plugin, it should now show within the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin as Installed & Activated.
2.) Make sure the .htaccess file is left writable otherwise this message will hang there because it knows it can not make changes to the permalink structure.
3.) Hopefully with the updates above you’ll be able to increase the utilization of the plugin.

Jeff,
I hate to be one more question but I cannot find it on your site.

Thanks for the great product and service.

hi folks,
sorry, but I get a 401 page when clicking on the link in my email for downloading the Installation Package.
This is the message on the 401:
You failed to provide a valid account required for access to page.
There is no login area available, just that message.
I have searched the FAQ page but that didn’t get me any answers.
Anthony Montalbano says:
When you go to the download page a login prompt window will come up asking for username and password. I’ve tested this in popular browsers such as IE, Firefox, and Opera.
John Deighton // May 16, 2008 at 4:23 am
Why is it that my RSS feed button works fine in Firefox, but doesn’t in Internet Explorer – really weird and only stopped working after I did your SEO blog upgrade? Any ideas? Thanks, John.
http://www.johndeighton.com/blog/
PS. Otherwise – Love the upgrade, it’s awesome! Thanks.
Anthony Montalbano says:
I just took a look at your blog in Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera and was able to see the RSS feeds perfectly fine. Have you tried it on a different computer with IE? Have you update/upgrade your IE lately? Those would be my only suggestions for you right now, since I am not seeing any errors. Hope this helps!

Hi,
I have installed the whole application successfully. But there is one thing I want to ask.
I wanted to install this application on a sub directory which is HTTP://fitness.infedo.com.
When I try to change the domain name to the subdomain the application turns it to:http://fitness.infedo.com/fitness/ and I’m getting the message that the site cannot be found. Can you help me to fix this?
Jan // May 19, 2008 at 7:29 am

the tutorial you have on pipes is only to create a pipe which is very useful but it would be appreciated if you have a tutorial telling how to incorporate that into your blog.
For the rest great software, great tutorials.

I am new to this and have spent the last 3 months researching IM and particular Affiliate Marketing. I have nearly signed up to a few Programmes but decided not to …….mm well I could mention a few but I am professional with my conduct and unless something untoward happens I will leave it to the individual to find out.
There are a lot of scams out there thats for sure
….feels like a good story coming on….. no not now…..
Back to the point of me responding to your question ???…..
What do I think about your site ..service help….products …..
Well,…. “Quite frankly my dear Watson”
I think it’s absoloutley fantastic……Ihave learn’t soooo much and can’t wait to start an internet biz

I successfully installed and customized what I feel
is the best blog imaginable. I LOVE it!
I added a 160×600 Adsense block to the sidebar.
On the articles page in my categories, the Adsense ads relate to the content of the article.
But on my Index home page all the Adsense ads are blog and wordpress related. All intalled plugins are activated.
What can I do to make the ads on my Index page relate to the articles?

Hi Jeff,
First off, THANKS for the amazing help you are giving to us for $ ZERO! Incredible.
Second, I am a newbie at PHP and SQL, so forgive me, but I am getting this error when I go to the site (after installing the WP2.5 SEO pack):
This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.
I copied all of the folders/files in the ‘wordpress’ folder into my top level FTP directory. Any ideas on what is going wrong? I know this is vague, but maybe I am searching for the incorrect file name? I am going to http://www.thelowdownblog.com (which is where I uploaded the info). I even tried to go to http://www.thelowdownblog.com/index.php just on a whim.
Any help you can offer? Thanks so much..
Rob

Hi,
I just installed everything on /public_html/mydomainname…is that correct?
Also when you say in step 5 in the installation manual: a Open your web browser and navigate to the location you uploaded your blog package. The installation screen will appear with a form similar to the one below.
Does this mean to go to the web address to fill out the form, for instance: http://mydomain.com ?
Because I did and I got and http500 error (Page cannot be displayed.)
Could it possibly because it’s a brand new domain name, if not what could be the possible cause?
Thanks for all of your hard work!!
Thanks!

Dave Leitch // May 24, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Hi Jeff,
Ever so gratefull for this SEO Wordpress software, but seem to be stomped on two issues. I uploaded wordpress software up to my root diectory and it installed OK When I want to get to have a look at the blog there is no way I can see it but by clicking the highlighted published
My Question is how does anybody else view my blog
Secondly I have tried for days since you notified me about the rss feeder and you said to install this in the sidebar.php file under the tags I have done this and get no reaction.
I take this file is in the wp-admin file . Can you let me know as I can@t find any reference to it at all.
Thanks again for all of your hard work!!
Dave
Anthony Montalbano says:
It appears that you have your blog installed to a directory where there is already a site. The default page you are seeing is the index.html file that you’ve previously created. The homepage to your blog is index.php. When there are specific files such as index.html, index.php, index.cgi web servers have a default precedence on what to display. Here is basic hierarchy of the order in which these files will be displayed, where the top of this list is the highest precedence:
To change the order you can add the following line of code to the top of your.htaccess file of the root directory of your blog (where the order of the files from first to last determines the new priority):
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htmHope this helps!

I swear I must be stupid, all this, easy to do…,
easy to install… I’m new to the computer all together, But I know I ain’t that stupid. Can someone help me with this,
Step 5 is as far as I got, 5. Install Your Blog
a. Open your web browser and navigate to the location you uploaded your blog package. The installation screen will appear with a form similar to the one below.
I’m not getting that form infront of me like I should. Can someone help, please

Anthony Montalbano says:
Depending upon your web hosting company and FTP information, the place you should navigate your browser to could be numerous locations. Common directories to upload are httpdocs, public_html and the first directory you are presented with when you connect with your FTP information.
If you see a httpdocs or public_html directory, then most likely you would want to upload the files into there. If you do not see a httpdocs or public_html directory, then you would upload the files in the current directory you are connected with.
All of these common directories will upload the files to the root of your domain (I.E. – http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com). If you create a new folder in the root directory, say “wordpress”, then the domain of your blog would be http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/wordpress.
Mark // May 26, 2008 at 3:03 pm
I downloads free software and uploaded it. All plugs ins are working.
However, when I make a post and publish or make widget changes, the only way the changes will go live is that I have to change themes, and then I change it back to assume the theme I like best. What a hassel. How do I fix this?
Also, in the sidebars there are undergroundlab links. I’ve checked out the sidebar code, and tried making changes, but they don’t disappear. What do I need to do to take these off?
Anthony Montalbano says:
I’m not too sure I understand the first question. When you publish a post it should be visible on any theme selected. And second, as long as the theme is “widget ready” then any changes made to the widget will apply to the theme.
The links are added to the Links of the site. Click on Manager>Links and you will see the links there to remove them.
Gerard // May 26, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Hi Jeff,
First of all, thanks for all of the great info. The traffic blueprint alone is probably worth at least a thousand dollars,conservatively speaking. I have spent the better part of the Memorial Day weekend trying to connect the free software to my new blog, but it’s just not happening. I downloaded the 1.2a version and transferred the files through filezilla to my host. It says that I transferred the files successfully but when I type in my web address I get this message:
Index of /
* cgi-bin/
* wp-admin/
Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at http://www.howtohypnotizesomeonesecretly.com Port 80
I know that you guys are busy but if you can point me in the right direction I sure would appreciate it!
Many thanks!

It looks like the entire contents of our blog software was not uploaded completely. You should be auto-redirected to the installation of the blog. Make sure that you upload all files and folders in the package.

Anthony Montalbano says:
This error message is telling you that a file is missing and/or is corrupted. To fix this simply re-upload the file that is causing your error. In this case it is the compat.php file which is located in the wp-includes folder. Re-upload that file and you shouldn’t have this problem.
Gerard // May 26, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Hi Jeff,
I keep getting the same error message when I try to install the blog software. I went back to reinstall the 1.2a version but I can’t find the file to install-
admin.php
Is this a problem for this version?
Gerard
Anthony Montalbano says:
To install 1.2a you will need the entire contents of the package. All files are included in the package, try to re-upload the package to your server again, this may fix your problem.
Vintage Bugs // May 27, 2008 at 1:09 am
When I make a new page on the blog…
the name of the page will be pretty crummy…http://www.whatever.com123456.
I can’t seem to figure out how to make it
so the article title will be at the end of the
url instead of a bunch of numbers and junk.
Permalink maybe? This blog is alot different than my older blogs.
Does it have something to do with
%postname% ?
Anthony Montalbano says:
Yes, this is a permalink structure. Our customized blog software takes care of correcting this issue. If you installed our blog package correctly, you should see the article URLs to include the article title and not “a bunch of numbers and junk”.
Thanks

I would suggest talking with your webhost to make sure everything was setup correctly. It’s hard for me to suggest anything further given the error you are receiving. If your domain, webhost, and MySQL database is setup correctly, then the installation instructions for the blog should help you get your blog up and running properly.

Hi Jeff and Anthony,
Not sure if my last submission went through so forgive me if this is repetitive. I’m so close to having the turbo-charged blog up and running- I just can’t get to the admin page- I get this error:
Warning: require_once(admin.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/stecr/public_html/wp-admin/index.php on line 3

jw // Jun 15, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Thanks for all the great information! Can you please. I’ve gotten the blog software but something isn’t right. Let me explain…
I have an account with hostgator. My first on the domain ( I’ll call it number1.com) enabled me to have unlimited subdomains. As I understand it, I can host as many URL’s as I want with this account and they will be independent of one another. In other words, you would get to each as so, http://www.number1.com, number2.com, number3.com, etc.
In this case, my second url is learnguitarfastandeasy.com. Simple and easy enough. This is the url I’d like to use Jeff’s generous blog software on.
As I said, I’ve downloaded it no problem and changed the user, pass and datbase name.
I’ve gone into learnguitarfastandeasy.com, it is in the public folder of my first domain (again, we called that number1.com) created a folder named wordpress and uploaded the blog software there (in the learnguitarfastandeasy.com).
Now as I understand it, I should be able to get to the next step in the installation by going to learnguitarfastandeasy.com/wordpress, right?
When I do, nothing happens.
Please advise on this. Also, I tried to jumpin on the underground lab and couldn’t get throug to make my payment. I think some there folks were having problems there as well.
I’d like to hook up but again, I couldn’t get through on the paying side.
Please let me know what you can tell me. Feel free to respond direct in my email.

I am getting great traffic on this site ever since I installed the FREE SEO Blog. I am confused on two things here. The AKISMET is almost Ready…has been on the site from the beginning. You keep saying I need to go to open an account at Wordpress.com. Is my account, that I ADMIN into from the software “my account”. In others is the account listed under “Biztubenow.com” since I am hosting on my own server? The other thing is the blog Dashboard from the SEO software is call for “Wordpress 2.6 is available! Please Upgrade now.” Can I upgrade with your SEO installed?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Jeff and Anthony,,
With the hundreds and hundreds of plug-ins out there, how will I know which ones I can and cannot use with your software, or, should they all work no matter which ones they may be?
Plus, when it comes to Wordpress updates and subsequent plug-in updates, are there any additional steps that need to be taken to ensure your software still functions?
Thanks a bunch for listening!
Best,
Mark
Make sure you back up your database before making any changes.
review the videos on the site about updating your blog
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/category/seo-wordpress-installation/
and test your plugins one-by-one to make sure they work before you install the next one.

Jeff Manz // Sep 3, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Now to give back:
I was not able to login into the SEO Blog software after copying into my root directory on my new domain at GoDaddy.com. After much trial and error (newbie) troubleshooting, I discovered that the SQL server name in the wp-config.php file has to be the actual GoDaddy SQL server name like xyzysql123.secureserver.net (vs Local Host). I also had better success using the SQL 5 vs the older version 4.1 offered there.
So, of course all the SEO Blog files need to loaded up in the appropriate directory of your domain but these 2 factors need to be in place also.
I hope this helps save others precious time.

Hi Jeff Johnson (and “guys”),
I really appreciate the opportunity that “Jeff Johnson Videos”, etc, provides. Jeff, I am very new at IM and am attempting to build my first online biz. Thanks to all your (unselfish) FREE videos (which I actually studied like a college lecture course taking notes and listening to them many, many times) I feel I have a fighting chance to be successful in my new career.
It’s super hard work building a new biz while learning a new skill set at the same time not to mention working full time at something else. Your “lecture” series on YouTube is a god-send.
When my new online businesses start generating sufficient cash flow AND your coaching course opens up, I’m there!!
I look forward to meeting you someday to thank you in person. Thank you so much for all you do.

Got up to step 5 but IE cant’ seem to find my site. Could the problem be that I have multiple sites hosted on my account and one already has wordpress? I am using a diffrent domain and a different database.
I get a 500 Internal Server Error.
What should I type in after “.com”? I’ve tried wp-content/install.php and that gets the same error.
Thanks!

Hello Jeff,
Thanks for the opportunity to look into your products.
Do you have any experience with Semiologic Pro, and does it interface well, or not, with your software?
Thank You Very Much,
David Scott Lynn
Jeff Johnson says: Are free seo blog software is actually an alternative to semiologic.
I’ve tested it but haven’t used it in years, we use our own.
If you are already using semilogic (and paid $295) I’d keep those blogs in place.
Simply build new ones with our software and see how you like it.

I got your program installed successfully, sort of. Most all of the links show a 404 error page. You won’t see the archived posts. When I installed the program I had to change the mysql db name instead of using “local_host” name.
So how do I fix this?

In the recording, you suggested if we had an extra domain sitting around collecting dust, that we may as well throw a blog up on it. So let’s say I have http://www.mydomain.com, can I host the blog directly at the URL by uploading the files to the root directory? In other words, can I make it so people can find my blog at http://www.mydomain.com or is the URL still going to be http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress? If I have the domain do I have to pay additonally for domain mapping to get the blog at the URL I want? Can I simply direct the DNS settings from wordpress to my domain? Thanks for your help and the great customization!
Regards,
Zach Waldman

Jeff Johnson says:
You have to have a hosting account to use the blog.
If you install the blog in your root then simply typing in domain.com would bring up the blog.
if not, domain.com/index.php will.

How do I add the RSS feed to my blog/web site? Am interested in adding an RSS feed to all of my sites(And to the blogs I’m going to begin creating with your free software) but cannot seem to find the step by step to get the RSS feed onto the page. How do I do this?
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson says: The RSS and data feed content tutorials are only in the private coaching club for now.
The reason is quite simple.. .there’s so much more you need to know about using rss and data feeds for content that I simply can’t teach here… it’s something that requires much more training than a simple “insert rss feed here”.
But we do have a free tool to use for experienced users only:

1. I uploaded the software into a subfolder, but when I get to step five I get a not found error when trying to navigate to it in my browser. All the files are there. I even tried re-uploading everything — twice! The first time I just overwrote the files; the second I deleted everything (which was a pain because my FTP won’t delete folders with content so I had delete all the content in all the folders first) but no go. This is frustrating.
2. In a few other responses to similar questions you link to a faq page and tell people to read it, but that just reloads this same page where the same question goes unaswered.
I hate to sound unappreciative, but come on man, how about some real help for folks that can’t get past step five. It seems to be a common problem.
Jeff Johnson says: I’m sorry, but there aren’t just enough hours in the day to help everyone personally that uses our free software; we have a business to run and families to feed, just like you.
But tens of thousands of people have installed our free seo blog software without a problem.
Some of the problems are simple “missed step” errors and those have been answered in our FAQ and tutorials section.

Hi,
I can’t get login to the blog. I was very careful with the password you gave me, but I got an error message. When I tried to get a new password, I received the email and when I clicked on the second link, it took me to the login form, but I had another error message and I never get a password. When I request a new password, I end up in a loop with no password.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Therese
Unfortunately, the blog sends out the email from your installation/server. We have no control over it.
Wish we could help, but we can’t.
Are you sure you are removing all spaces in the password when you “cut and paste it” from the email?

What and where is a “database” in this context?
Please ask your host if you don’t know how to configure your database.
We show you how in the tutorials, but some hosts are different.
carlos acosta // Nov 22, 2008 at 3:08 pm
I love your product……….but I don’t want to install or maintain the system.
Do you know how or who I can outsource the installation as well as the implimentation process?
We hire local college kids and high school kids, as well as local stay at home moms to publish to our blogs and to install them.
A web developer that works for me part time charges a thousand dollar to install a blog, you can do it yourself for free in minutes.

Hi, thanks for great information. My head is spinning, have lost of domains that I was going to park but now they will become blogs instead.
My question, I have a new wp blog with a customised design. Will your SEO pack override that design, I mean will it dissappear from my blog or are your themes just complimetary choices that I can choos from my dashboard?
Anthony Montalbano says: You can use any themes with the SEO package. The themes featured in the packages are complimentary choices by us.
Keisha // Nov 23, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Great blog! I had one question, is there a way to auto post content?
Anthony Montalbano says: Yes, there are a few ways to auto post content, you can schedule posts by changing the date of the post to a future time, or use automatic content posting. Unfortunately I can not share with you how we do automatic content posting, since this is something that we teach our clients in Jeff’s Underground Training Lab.

Can one upgrade to WP 6.3?
Why is it that when I try to upload another plugin (wp-autoinstaller) I see it on my domain in the appropriate folder however when I go into my WP admin area it is not listed?
Rick
Anthony Montalbano says: We are currently working on upgrading the software (hopefully soon to be released!). Some plugins do not work with the WP auto installer, try to install it manually. Make sure to read the README for the plugin.

Hi, great work you’re doing for the benefit of the masses!
I have a problem when I attempt to extract the SEO blog files. It keeps saying Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. I run Vista by the way. Can you help?
Many thanks.
Anthony Montalbano says: Did you download the zip file to your computer? You should use Windows compression software to extract it (unzip it). This will create a folder (wordpress) and a txt file to the location where you extracted the files. Afterwords use an FTP program, such as Filezilla to upload the files to your web host and continue the install from there.
Andy Mackay // Nov 24, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Hi Anthony, yes the zip file is sitting on my desktop and I tried to extract using Windows. The process gets about half way through and IE just stops working and restarts. I think Vista is the problem….
Any suggestions appreciated.
Jeff Johnson says: Please try downloading with firefox.
Dave Stapleton // Nov 24, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Hi Jeff
I have sucessfully installed the software but when I access the blog all I get is a blank screen – not even an error message ?
Also , when I try to upgrade all I receive is a message telling me that no upgrade is necessary .
I read another FAQ which stated that version b of the programme is required although the only links I can find are for version a .
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
Anthony Montalbano says:
First, if you go to the location where you installed the blog, does it show the blog, but when you go to the wp-admin, nothing shows? If this is true, try to reupload the wp-admin folder, overwriting all files. Then try again to login to the admin.
Second, most, if not all FAQ answers should apply to version a & b, the only major difference between the two is version b has an upgrade routine built into it. Typically when I have a problem install the blog package, I just re-upload all the files, overwriting all (but the wp-config.php file) will fix your problems.
Michael Schurmann // Nov 25, 2008 at 1:31 am
Well here I go again.
another product which seems to be very good but
I have already website domains.
But my control panel is plesk and I do not know how to translate your instructions from cpanel to plesk.
Right now I have three blogs which are on my domain (Blogger) my goal is to have just over 20 blogs by the end of the year. One blog for every landing page.
How can I do that with your software?
can you help?
can you send me an e-mail telling me where to get the answers?
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but these instructions are for cpanel hosts only.
our client training does have some plesk instructions, but that isn’t currently available to the public.
More importantly, that training is for our professional version of the blog software so it wouldn’t really apply to the free seo blog software.
But your hosting account provider should be able to help you install it without a problem.
We use it on several plesk based hosting accounts.

try to down load the seo software and I keep getting fioder is invalid or corrupted
Anthony Montalbano says: Are you clicking on the link sent to you in the email, with the username and password to download the zip file? You have to use a compression software to “extract” it to your desktop. Inside of the extraction is a folder of files, from there you would upload the files in the folder, via FTP, to your webhost.
Andy Mackay // Nov 25, 2008 at 4:47 am
Thanks Jeff, I’ll try that
Andy Mackay // Nov 25, 2008 at 5:51 am
Well, I tried it but still no joy. I’m using Firefox as default browser and yet after downloading the zipped file and then trying to extract I’m stil getting the message that “IE has encountered a problem and needs to close”, and then it restarts.
I’m lost…
Any further thoughts much appreciated.
Anthony Montalbano says: When you download the zipped file it should save it somewhere, such as your desktop. Use a extraction software such as WinRar to extract the contents. I’m not sure otherwise what maybe causing the problem. I’ve tested the download and extraction and its extracting fine. You may also want to try to download and extract it on another computer to see if it works.
Andy Mackay // Nov 25, 2008 at 6:05 am
Hi Jeff, I tried it using Firefox as my default browser but still doesn’t work. I am able to download the zipped files but when I try to extract I get the message: “IE has encountered a problem and needs to close”. It then restarts.
I don’t know why IE gets involved if Firefox is the browser of choice?!?
I’m lost as I’ve been on many forums looking for a solution but with no joy.
Any further help would be massively appreciated.

Roseline // Nov 25, 2008 at 6:12 am
Dear Jeff,
Thank you for your giving spirit…I appreciate it much.
I am really excited to try out your Blog Software on one of my previous blogs, as that blog is not even coming up in Google’s search engine despite my effort to optimize it.
Have 2 quick questions here:
1) The Blog Software wordpress version is 2.5.1 while the most current one is 2.6.3. Should I update it or leave it as it is? Just concerned that it will not be SEO optimized the way you had done it if I update the version myself.
2) Will using my own themes other than those provided by you affect the SEO optimization?
Thanks very much!!!
Anthony Montalbano says:
1) Yes, you can upgrade the software to the latest version of Wordpress (2.6.5). All of the SEO optimization is set on the initial installation of the SEO optimized package.
2.) You can use your own themes, yes, and this does not effect the SEO optimization. Just a note, each theme does have a different structure and design, which determines the content that shows on the website, so sometimes particular themes can increase or decrease the optimization. Since there is such a large number of factors associated to SEO, sometimes the theme can make a difference. The themes we added in the package have shown higher optimization over other themes that we tested, hence the reason for adding them into the package, but all of the original configurations set by the SEO package are not effected by the change of a theme.

Hi Jeff,
I tried connecting to the location – http://www.realhealth-online.com/blog – with my browser but just get:
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/31/d38462904/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php on line 7″
Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks,
Stephen
Anthony Montalbano says: It appears that there is something wrong with how you entered your database information in the wp-config.php file. Check the original file and make sure the only thing that you replace was the database name, username, and password. Just 1 character off or deleted could cause an error. After you’ve verified that you’ve entered your information correctly, reupload the file, overwriting the one on your web host.
Michael Rytter // Nov 28, 2008 at 6:59 pm
@ Andy Mackay..It is a Windows Vista problem…some of your services are corrupt. You need to call Vista support.
You can download an outside Zip program, say 7 zip, or winzip, and you should be able to extract the files you need without the IE error giving you the boot!.
Roseline // Nov 29, 2008 at 4:10 am
Dear Anthony,
Thanks for your detailed & clear reply. Appreciate it much.
I installed the SEO blog software onto a new site & I am planning to transfer the articles from one of my previous sites to this new site.
Instead of copying article by article, I am thinking of backing up the database & importing the tables over to the new SEO optimized blog under the php admin interface.
However, by doing this, will I be erasing the SEO optimization of the blog software as I am over-riding the tables? If the answer is yes, is there any other way I could do this without affecting the SEO optimization?
Thanks very much & have a great weekend!
Anthony Montalbano says: Actually, Wordpress has a built in import and export feature. Under ‘Manage’ then ‘Export’ you can export all of your blog posts to a Wordpress file, then import it into your new blog via ‘Manage’, ‘Import’, then ‘Wordpress’. Hope this helps!

But when I copy and paste the url WITHOUT the slash it works fine.

I get a 500 Internal Server Error and GoDaddy says wordpress problems are our problem….when this question gets asked, the writer is referred back to FAQ’s but it doesn’t get answered…..
I’m dying to get going on 5 different sites!!!! But they’re hosting all of my stuff….
I know someone’s trying it out there because 3 DB names I chose related to SEO Blog had been taken.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am real excited to have the free software. I just finished a Virtual Assistant course and I want to specialize in setting up and maintaining Wordpress Blogs for my clients.
I have another blog I set up thru simple scripts and uploaded the cutline theme and some pluggins. Not finish building it yet. It was frustrating but I learned a few things.
However, I get to step 5 and crash and burn every time. download the product go make a new mysql data base change the info in the wp-config use filezilla to upload and I get this error
Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.10 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at http://www.wahm-product-reviews.com Port 80
and never get to the naming of the blog part. I have watched the video several times and found errors I have made and corrected them also read thru the FAQ and am lost I am going to make sure now that all my files upload from filezilla and then if it doesn’t work I will be back I don’t think I have missed anything but who knows when you get frustrated you make tons of mistakes it is probably as plain as day what I am doing wrong.
Anthony Montalbano says: Some servers require you to change the ‘localhost’ value to a the name where the MySQL database is located. Make sure that this value is ‘localhost’ and not some other host value. Another suggestion would be to try to reupload the blog software and see if this works. The error message is a server side message, so it would be difficult for me to help you further. But hopefully this gives you some direction!
Veronica O'Dea // Dec 2, 2008 at 2:51 am
Hi Jeff and Anthony.
A couple of problems.
1) I have come across the permalink thingy, and have read Anthony’s advice on how to fix it.
2) I can’t follow the advice for a couple of reasons:-
a) I have a previous Wordpress account (which I have never used) and WP seems to think that my SEO Underground blog is part of that one and will not accept the UN and PW you sent me to access my SEO Blog. At the moment it won’t accept any UN and PW. ( must have heard me saying nasty things about it!)
b)I don’t have a .htaccess file, but I do have an error_log.
Please tell me you have some suggestions as to how I fix all problems.
Thanks in advance
Veronica
Anthony Montalbano says: Did you install a new blog from the beginning? Or is this a previously created blog? Try this, create a file on your computer and name it htaccess.txt. Upload it to the root directory of your blog (same directory as the wp-config.php). Rename the file to ‘.htaccess’ (without the quotes), then change the permissions of the file to ‘777′. Login to your blog, click Settings, Permalinks, and then Save Changes. This should rewrite the permalink to the ‘.htaccess’ and set it up correctly.

Hi Jeff,
Let me lay this out for ya. I’m age 58 and youthful looking, BUT I don’t hear as well as I once did. To my ears Anthony’s video is a lot of mumble that can’t be understood. I am not a Techi. I never will be. So, how about this. I want to cut through the FREE offers and get some professional help to optimize my website on the search engines. I know you and your staff will offer to sell that to me eventually. Let’s reduce eventually to THIS WEEK and I’ll know what it will cost and when I can afford at least a small first module of your help. I am hosted by Yahoo and have no idea if they are compatable with your software. For me to call and wait a half hour to ask them just isn’t fitting into today’s schedule. So YOU can tell me what works, where, and maybe your guys can in 15 minutes set me up to have the world find me with a weekly news letter. I’m not sure I want to BLOG anyone anyway. I just want to give away a few free books and articles. When readers have an interest in other nutrition supplements I offer they’ll buy and that will be enough income for me. I hope to hear from you or one of your staff.
Kind regards,
SteveN

Thanks for the Blog.
Having trouble understanding instruction 5a – where is that location? is it my URL – the insturctions are not clear – another person asked the same question earlier in this blog but no answer was given – just a link to the top of this page that doesn’t not have the answer.
Is it the Url name eg. http://mysite.com or do I need to add something on the back of the URL or is it a different location altogether – so that i can get the email entry…
thanks
Anthony Montalbano says: Sorry that is was not clear to you. What I meant by that is the directory or URL where you plan to have your blog located at. So if you upload the files to the root of your webhost, such as ‘public_html’ or ‘www’, then the location you would go to in your internet browser would be http://www.yourdomain.com. If you put it in a subfolder, then it would be http://www.yourdomain.com/subfolder. Does this clear up things? I didn’t want to restrict the location of where the blog can be installed, so I left it generic, assuming you know where you are uploading your files too.

So I went to youtube to make sure I knew what I was doing with FTP watched about 3 different ones to make sure I wasn’t nuts, drove my hosting service mad and still no go. I have been at this for about 4 days now with no success. However, I know it’s probably on my end.

Veronica O'Dea // Dec 3, 2008 at 9:05 am
Thanks Anthony for trying to help with my query on Post68.
However I couldn’t change permissions so I went onto the Hostgator Chat find out why and this is what they said……
“As we have phpsusec installed on our servers so 777 permissions would not work.
Folders should be set to 755 and files to 644. 777 permissions will not work on our servers, 755 should function as 777 the way our servers are setup.
secondly the wordpress is not installed on the root directory and when you install wordpress it puts a .htaccess file on the domain you install it to
which did not have the correct coding in it anyway in which I put the correct code into for you.
However you would still enable permalinks in your wordpress admin section.
Problem is sorted out now I think
Anthony Montalbano says: Thanks for the update Veronica, glad to see that your hosting service was able to help you out. 755 should work as well so that Wordpress can make writes to your .htaccess file. Best of luck with moving forward.

Thank you for all you do. I’ve installed the package in the public_html folder. But I’m still only able to access my blog by putting wordpress at the end of my website address. How do I resolve that ?
Anthony Montalbano says: It sounds like you uploaded the entire ‘wordpress’ folder to public_html. What you want to do is actually upload everything inside the folder to public_html, not the folder itself. Hope this clarifies some things. Just so you know, you may need to reinstall the blog, because you will be moving it to a new location.
Brian // Dec 3, 2008 at 3:39 pm
When I uploaded the seo blog into a new directory ‘blog’, all I see when I access the directory as instructed in the video is a directory tree. What’s missing?
This site is my current email provider who provides web space. Not yet my own domain name.
Anthony Montalbano says: If you created a new directory (assuming via FTP) called blog and you uploaded all the files inside the wordpress folder (not the folder itself), then it should take you to either an error message that the database is not working, or the installation screen to install the blog. If you don’t get either, it could be an issue on the side of your server. Somethings I would verify is that your webhost supports PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.0. If you uploaded the wordpress folder (including the folder), try to goto http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/wordpress and see if the installation screen shows. It’s difficult for me to give you further direction, since I’m not familiar with your webshot, but hopefully this gives you some direction.

The username and password you sent me in my email to download the blog software doesn’t work. I TRIED TYPING IN THE CODS BUT STILL DOESN’T WORK
Anthony Montalbano says: Make sure your caps lock is off and there are no spaces before and after the username and password. I just did a double-check on the username and password to make sure it works. I manually typed in the username, then manually typed in the password, all lowercase, no spaces, and it worked. Hope this helps.
Dave // Dec 3, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Does your software work on macs?
Thanks,
Dave
Anthony Montalbano says: Our software is a modified version of Wordpress, so if you can download the compressed folder, uncompress it, then upload the files via FTP to your site on your Mac, then you should have no problem using the software. The software is actually dependent on the server settings. Make sure that your webhost (server) has a minimum of PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.0.

Hi team
OK, I started a new wordpress database on my domain name and then I checked that it was installed and working fine, which it was. I then proceeded to upload your free SEO blog software into the same directory over writing the original wordpress files.
Now when I put the domain name in to the browser address bar again all I get is an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. Why is this and what have I done wrong, although I think I haven’t done anything incorrect?
The directory created is with the new wordpress version 2.6.5
I altered your wp-config php file with the username and password I used for installing the new wordpress database and included the database name.

I posted this question yesterday but don’t see it approved yet, so forgive the duplication…
I installed the blog on a test site to see how it differs from the one I currently use.
Once installed, VERY EASY, BTW… when I click on any of the links – ie: “comment”, I’m getting a 404 page error…
I’d love to finish checking this out, but kinda need to get this issue resolved… blogs don’t work if you can’t do anything but make posts…
Anthony Montalbano says: Make sure that your permalinks are set. Go to your blog’s admin (wp-admin), click Settings, then Permalinks, click Save Changes at the bottom. More details on this can be found in the blog installation at step 5g.

hi there ive installed the software about 6 time today but theres one problem.
i fill in the first page of the set-up with my blog title and my email address and all that stuff but when i click the seo button the next page dosent load so i cant see my password to login to the blog.
can you please help, i really want this to work, thank you.
Arron Davies
Anthony Montalbano says: Has this happen everytime? Does the blog install? Do you get the email with your password? It would be difficult to tell you exactly where and why your installation is halting, but try to do a simple install (just fill in your blog tile and email address, leave all the other fields blank). See if that installs. Also make sure your web host supports PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.0, otherwise it may cause script errors that do not allows the software to finish installing.

I have downloaded the free seo program and the files are a “php” files and I do not know how or where to open these files. Please advise. I wrote a comment before and never got an answer.
Anthony Montalbano says: There should be a folder called ‘wordpress’. Inside this folder is a collection of php files and such. What you are editing is the wp-config.php file. You can open this file in any simple text editor such as Windows Notepad. From here you can make the modifications as set in the installation video. Hope this clarifies things.

Anthony Montalbano says: Have you tried to open other PDF files with the latest Adobe free reader? Try to download the file to your computer then open it. Right-click and “Save as”. Once you downloaded it to your computer, try to open it. You may also want to try a different internet browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.) These are just some suggestions.

I have followed the steps install the blog software and it seems OK until I click to install. Although I see the message with username and password for login, at the top there is an error message which says:
“WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's World Sources', 'gabriels-world-sources', '0')' at line 1]
INSERT INTO wp_terms (name, slug, term_group) VALUES (‘Gabriel’s World Sources’, ‘gabriels-world-sources’, ‘0′)”

Dear Anthony,
I have 2 quick questions.
1) For the SEO blog software, is the main difference between current 1.7 & the previous 1.2a just the Wordpress version? If so, can I just upgrade the Wordpress version to 2.7 instead of reinstalling the SEO blog software, as I am currently using your previous SEO version 1.2a on one of my blogs.
2) I installed the upgraded SEO software 1.7 onto a new blog & I noticed the new version does not have the plugin for the database management. I also realised the new SEO blog software is using Wordpress version 2.6.3 while Wordpress is currently at 2.7.
Can I install the database plugin myself & also upgrade the Wordpress version to 2.7 without affecting the SEO function?
Thanks very much!
Jeff Johnson says: At your own risk. I suggest you use the existing Free SEO Blog Software and leave it at that unless you have a specific reason for upgrading to 2.7… like a security issue your hosting account informs you of on their servers.

Dear Jeff,
Thanks for your reply. However, I am a little confused & I hope you can help to clarify.
Anthony mentioned previously (see comment 55) that it’s ok to upgrade the software to the latest version of Wordpress while you mentioned in the latest comment not to do so unless necessary.
If it will not be SEO optimized the way you had meant it to be if I update the version, then I will have to reinstall the blog software again from scratch.
Also, will adding in my own plugins affect the SEO optimization?
Deeply appreciate your advice & help. Thanks!
Jeff Johnson says: wp version 2.7 is a radical change. we can’t be sure the plugins will work with it.
But yes, you can update if you’d like to.
In general, adding additional lplugins will not interfere with the optimization of my FSBS.

Jeff;
Thanks for the SEO software. Love it!
However, why the hell can’t I get a “password” that works so that I can log into my blog and get to work?
The log in “password” sent to me has virtually put up a brick wall against my entry to my blog to either change anything inside.
I don’t have access to my blog.
Will somebody who’s not busy, respond to my request and that is to send me “Username/Password” that work?
Thanks so much.

The posts have an adsense square just below the title of the post, but it is only visible when you view that one post and is not displayed when you get to the blog page (I limited the number of posts to 3 per page).
The blog is still in pre-production stage
Thank you

Hello,
Robert again. I can see my comment/question was removed… OK.Maybe my English is not quite good, but I would really appreciate at least a word of help or guideline on my problem. So it is like this:
I want to run Adsense on my page (the content page, not sidebars).
I put the code in (both the main page php, and single post php).
The ads are invisible on the main page, but they appear when you view a single post page, like this:
http://selfhelpabout.com/2009/01/12/dont-worry-be-happy-its-easier-than-it-seems/
What can the reason be?
I desperately need your help. Thanks.
Robert
That’s because the main page is not controlled by the same templates as the single post template.
Most themes have a “main.php” template but that won’t solve your problem.
You could hack the theme to force the code, but that requires experience working with WP.

I could not install your software through BitComet.There is no seed in there!
we don’t distribute it via torrent systems.
Ben Byekwaso // Jan 28, 2009 at 8:44 am
Hi Jeff,
Thank you very much for your free software. It is very helpful, may God almighty awards 100 more times with your efforts. I have got one question; You talk of about 29 social networks sites we register, but there are more than 50 of them, my question is which are the 29 social networks you refer in the training video. I shall appreciate your help. Thank you
Regards,
Ben Byekwaso
Jeff johnson says: I used to have a list of them but it hasn’t been updated in a year or more.
I suggest just randomly using 10 or so each time you SB.
Imran // Jan 28, 2009 at 9:15 am
I have installed your software some of the links on the main page are not working,when I contacted the hosting service provider,they told me that .htaccess file is missing.
Please tell me where can I upload that file.
Thanks
Imran
.htaccess files are simply txt files that you name “.htaccess” and ftp up to your server.
Your hosting company should have told you that.
You also have to have the permissions set correctly to write to the file, another thing your hosting company should know.

Hey Jeff,
I’m trying my hardest to find a pipe that takes keywords, finds the articles and aggregates them all into ONE article that will be posted on my blog.
All I can find, even in your examples, is a list of articles…
Any idea how to take a bunch of RSS feeds, mash them up and come up with a unique post?
You’ve talked about it in one of your videos, and I hope you already have something made..
Thanks for all you do!
Jeff Johnson:
You are welcome!
We don’t offer support or training on this to the public…
But we do have a free tool to use for experienced users only:

Trying to find the video about auto content and about squeeze pages.
Real question Do you have a list of which video covers what? All Utube shows is the title, even truncate the Vid..

Hi Jeff and team.
Can you help please? When I use the Content Keyword RSS pipes tool I can see
all the content that has been accessed but I can not see the unique content
page “mashup” I am sure there is something that I do not understand. I have
searched my yahoo pages but still not sure where to find the finished
content page.
I would dearly like some instruction at this point if you could please.
Thank you in advanced
Regards
Robert Taylor
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but we shouldn’t have even mentioned that tool to this blog.
It’s for advanced users and you really need to understand its place in my overall strategy, which is why we typically only train our members to use it.
Plus it was being phased out in favor of our own proprietary content tool.
So please enjoy it if you can, along with the free blog software.

I purchased PLF 2.0 from Jeff’s site. There was a number of bonuses, and I thought I saw an email in the last month with a deadline for creating the website.
I had a house fire about 3 weeks ago, and I’m trying to get caught up on things, and I can’t find that email anywhere.
can you re-send that to me, so I can get that part set up and going?
Thanks,
Jim Howey
Jeff Johnson: Sorry to hear about the fire and I hope the family is ok.
I forwarded your info to my operations manager and she’ll be in touch.
Don’t worry; in this situation we’ll be more than happy to extend your deadline.
And thanks for the support!

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for everything.
I noticed a similar post but no real answer to it. I am having trouble removing the underground training lab link on my newly created Free SEO blog. When I look up the links, it is telling me there are none but my blog still shows it.
Thank you.
Jeff Johnson says: Try the template files or the widgets.
Adrien // Feb 24, 2009 at 2:43 am
Hi,
How do I remove the link to the underground lab from my Free SEO blog? When I click on the links it tells me there are none but your link still shows up.
Thank you.
Jeff Johnson says: It depends on the theme and the version you have. It could be in the sidebar template or a widget. But feel free to leave the link in place

Hi guys,
I have installed the wp package in a directory and now it’s working and showing the content as should be.
Problem is, the admin pages (back end) does not seem to be working – the text is there, and I can post my posts, but no images, no CSS seems to be working, text leaks outside of the lines etc’
I am hosting on Ipower (based on your recommendation) and they were not been able to help too much (they are in touch, and reply quickly, but nothing is solved)
What can be the problem?
Awaiting your reply
Thanks

Jason Watson // Mar 24, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Thank you so much for all the training and the free software. I was able to install it fine. I do have a question though.
You say to change up the theme and you refer to your http://www.digitalcamerareviewsblog.com/
as an example. But there seem to only be 5 templates to choose from. And none of them are anything like the one you used on that blog. Are there other themes to chose from and how do I do it?
Also, you recommend having an opt-in on every page, but there is not a widget for that in your package. I tried to upload one from wordpress, but it didn’t work. How do I get one like the one you used on http://www.digitalcamerareviewsblog.com/?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Dave // Apr 7, 2009 at 9:06 am
Hi Guys,
I have the Jeff’s seo blog installed and I am not getting any where near the traffic I was before
the swap and only one quarter of the traffic I am
with my other two blogs..thanks anyway.
How Do I Uninstall it?
Jeff Johnson says:
First, I’ve never personally had a blog with a standard WP install not benefit fom the upgrade to my Free SEO Blog Software.
But there are hundreds of things that coudl go wrong with the install so it is definitely possible.
Not to mention a timing coincidence with other external factors (search engines, incoming links, etc).
Second, as it states in our installaion tutorials:
“I strongly recommend that you only install my Free SEO Blog Software as new blogs; I do not recommend that you upgrade your old blogs to my SEO customized version.
It’s not that it can’t be done, we do it all the time.
The problem is that certain aspects and/or configurations of your current blog may be lost during the updgrade process.
And since this is a free piece of software we can’t possibly help you fix any problems that may occur during the upgrade process.
Only experienced users or people with access to good tech staff should use this upgrade procedure.”
So the only way to really uninstall everything (it is more than just deactivating the plug ins)…. is to wipe it off your server and reinstall your back up copy of the site before the changes were made.
Or, If you followed our directions you should have made a backup copy of your database before the upgrade. Just install the old theme and import the database backup.
Here’s a tutorial about restoring a database backup:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup
If not, you’ll need to contact your hosting company and ask them to revert your site back to the original blog before the upgrade; they should have a back up copy of your files.
Hope this helps!
David // Apr 21, 2009 at 9:32 am
each time I install your plugin my ‘about’ link and ‘catagory’ links on the home page no longer work. I dont see any permalink errors and I changed the ‘htaccess’ permissions to 666. Are you seeing this happen to others?
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, they haven’t heard reports of that one so it must be due to some other error.
David // Apr 21, 2009 at 10:01 am
Got the fix. I had to change the permalink details from custom to default.
Kindal // Apr 23, 2009 at 9:23 am
Dear John, I just added the plugin updates however now my front page says “nothing fond for blog” and though all of my posts are safely stored and listed, they are not showing up on the homepage. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Kindal
Jeff Johnson says: could be your theme, or your installation, or your htaccess.
but if you want to find out if it is one of the plugins start deactivating them one by one.
check after each deactivation to see if the problem goes away.
If it does, then that plugin (not just mine, but any plugin) is causing issues.
That will help narrow it down.
Ian // Apr 27, 2009 at 7:09 am
This question is about the Sociable plugin
I already use a sociable type plugin, (although it has less bookmarking sites listed than yours). Now I can use this plugin on different blogs probable like yours, but the one I currently use allows me to input my username/password login details for the bookmarking sites I use for that particular blog. My question is; as I have a few bookmarking site accounts with different username and passwords, when making a post how does your setup know which social sites account to use???
Jeff Johnson says: The sociable plugin is for your blog visitors to use, not you. they have to log into their accounts when they use it.
Nish // Apr 27, 2009 at 9:45 am
Hello, I’ve installed the blog plug in. There seems to be a problem with permalinks & the blog posts/pages.. Had to change permalinks to default in order to make them work? The SEO permalink structure provided causes an error.. Please advise.
Jeff Johnson says: There’s nothing wrong with the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin… anytime you update the permalinks structure you need to save the settings so the .htaccess file can be updated with the changes.
Settings>Permalinks>Save Changes, this will write the .htaccess file with the right structure
That also means you need to make sure your .htaccess file permission settings are correct.
See the tutorials listed in the right hand column of this blog.
Denise // May 13, 2009 at 9:49 am
Hi Jeff,
The .htaccess file didn’t come with the blog software, so I have created one like you said, but at the bottom of the Permalink structure page on the blog it said that these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
Do I paste that code into the empty .htaccess file I have created with notepad?
Many thanks for the blog, I found it easy to install.
Denise
Jeff Johnson says: You are welcome for the plugin!
.htaccess files should be written automatically by the blog itself. This requires that your .htaccess files is set to the correct chmod permissions. The tutorials in the “FAQ” section of this blog should help.
However, You are much better off checking with your hosting provider and making sure that any changes you make are going to “play nice” with your hosting account… better safe than sorry.
Mellahosting // May 14, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Hello
I have gone to your download page, It wont let me download. My PC asks me if I want to use Bitcomet, I tried with YES, but the result is that the “The file does not exsist in the specified address” So it was Stopped.
Then I tried again, saying NO to using Bitcomet, But nothing happens???
Your thoughts?
Cheers
Shanley
Jeff Johnson: bitcomet is a bittorrent download program that I belive is also adware…. and it’s not from me. It must already be on your PC whether you want it there or not.
I also show them as an “identity” threat from symantec so I’d get that off your system.
I know the file is there… it has been downloaded thousands of times.
Please clean the adware of your pc using symantec or another program and try again.
Shaun // May 14, 2009 at 8:16 pm
I don’t see the download link on the page..
It just says:
2. Download the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin:
and then some blank lines
Jeff Johnson:
Just checked and the link was there and the download worked perfectly.
Please try again with a different browser and enable javascript.
the link is actually a tracking link from openx so that may be the issue.

Allen Wagner // May 22, 2009 at 2:30 am
Am I understanding correctly that there will be a paid version of your SEO Plugin available soon with even more features?
Jeff Johnson: a Traffic Getting SEO Plugin Supercharged Professional Edition is currently available for my coaching club members but is not currently for sale.
We may sell it in the future but for now just enjoy the free version
Jeff // May 27, 2009 at 11:01 am
Just installed and now I’m unable to include live working links in my posts.
Help?????
Here’s the first post I did after the SEO install:
http://sillybuster.com/blog/391/bikes-at-the-beach-this-summercheck-this-out/
Jeff Johnson: I even checked with my guys on this and they agree… the plugins we use do not modify the content of posts… which is exactly what I thought.
That means something else is causing the issue.
Try deactivating other plugins that you may have installed outside of the ones installed by us.
lone randrup // May 28, 2009 at 4:27 am
Dear Jeff, when i try to download your new seo I get the message: the uploaded file could not be moved to usr/dana/data/www.inspirationogcoaching.dk/docs/wp-content. I dont quit see what I am suppose to do now? Best Lone NB. I do use 2.7
Jeff Johnson says: Looks like an ftp issue to me… check with your hosting company about passwords or permission settings.

Hey Jeff,
This plug-in killed firefox. Interestingly enough, I went back to Internet Explorer and all of the upgrades installed and activated without a hitch.
Go figure.

Jeff Johnson says: Strange since my developers and testers use firefox almost exclusively… I have to force them to test in IE.
Jackie Anderson // May 28, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Hi Jeff,
I like the seo blog software. I have a question. I’ve noticed that I no longer get comments, spams or any feed back since I’ve installed the software.
Is that common? I also noticed after installation the status bar said my site was 100% optimized. Yeah!
Now it reads 98.37% optimized I’m not sure why the change. It’s been over 2 weeks since I’ve made the change to seo software.
I have’nt made any additional changes, but I not experiencing the bump in traffic that I was antipating.
Whatever advice you can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks
–Jackie
Jeff Johnson: You are in a highly competitive market using general keywords such as “lose weight” and “flat stomach”.
And I only see 10 posts on your blog, that’s not anywhere near enough to compete in your chosen market.
The software will take what you have and make it better… but it can’t work miracles
You really need to focus on longer tail keywords.
And you need hundreds, even thousands of posts to compete in that market for those terms you are choosing.
Incoming links to each post will be the key.
Also, judging from your comments I’d guess you are actually running an older version of the software and should download the upgrade that I sent out a week or two ago.
Also, the plugin does nothing to change your default wp comment and trackback settings.
Go to Settings/Discussion and make sure you are allowing comments and trackbacks,e tc.
And make sure the simple captcha plugin is working correctly.
YOu can try turning it off and see if that makes a difference.
Dan // May 29, 2009 at 5:57 pm

please contact your hosting service for help and they should be able to troubleshoot it for you.
Ishaam // Jun 1, 2009 at 10:37 am
Hi Jeff,
I managed to solv the problem. What happens is that the plugin extracts to wp-content / plugins / simple-captcha
Beneath this folder is the correct folder simpleCAPTCHA
What you need to do is to copy this folder simpleCAPTCHA directly to wp-content / plugins / so that it becomes wp-content / plugins / simpleCAPTCHA
and then delete the incorrect folder wp-content / plugins / simple-captcha
Then activate the plugin, it works correctly now. The previous poster Dan should be able to solve this as well by following my instructions as I had the exact same problem
My blog is now optimised 100% as Im using the professional plugin

I can’t download the free software.
After entering my login and password which worked fine, I clicked on the link on the next page to download the software, but it took
me to this page:
http://prmads.com/www/delivery/ck.php?oaparams=2__bannerid=997__zoneid=437__
cb=e9dcd88841__oadest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.undergroundtraininglab.com%2Fdownload

and my browser page is just blank and isn’t loading anything at all and the
heading is ck.php (GIF image 1×1 pixels).
I’m using Firefox 3.0.10 and Windows XP
Do you have any idea of what the problem might be?
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but we’ve tested it several times now with both browsers and it works.
Have you tried to righ-click and “save as” to your desk top?
If that doesn’t work try updating your browser to the newest version.
Steve // Jun 13, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Jeff,
I have last year’s SEO Blog Software Professional Edition and need to know of if I should continue using it to set up new blogs AND also use the new plug-in that you recently released…
Or do I stop using the SEO Blog Software Professional Edition and just use the Traffic Getting SEO Plug-in?
I don’t want to stop using the SEO Blog Software Professional Edition if it’s more powerful and more SEO friendly than your free Traffic Getting SEO Plug-in.
Please advise because I’m confused and don’t want to mess up my web pages or lose traffic getting power.
Steve
Jeff Johnson: Same basic concept but the Plugin is much easier to upgrade when a new version comes out, or a new wordpress version comes out.
We stopped development of the seo blog software so at some point you won’t be able to upgrade your blog to the newest version of wp.. it just won’t work.
Robert // Jun 13, 2009 at 9:07 pm
I’m having trouble installing your various plugins on my brand new wordpress.org site. i keep getting this message:
Incompatible archive PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Invalid archive structure
What to do?
Jeff Johnson: Hard to say. My guess is that is has to do with either your host’s php installation or file size restrictions. Could be a wp automatic upgrade issue, too.
I’d check with your host and see what they can do for you.

roo du jardin // Aug 12, 2009 at 6:18 am
Thanks for the SEO Plugin. Installs ok – everything works as it should, but absolutely no impact on traffic. Something else I should be doing? (installed on both new and old blog)
Jeff Johnson: If it’s on a new blog, how do you know it doesn’t have an impact on traffic
The plugin uses proven technology and techniques to increase traffic. No doubt about it. But it still needs to be fed quality content, consistent amounts of content, and good keywords.
Just make sure your existing blog didn’t change the permilink structure when installed, and that your keywords and content are enough for your target market.
Jeremy Johnston // Aug 20, 2009 at 9:43 pm

Hi Jeff,
Have you removed the link to download your latest plugin for WP 2.8? I could not access your page with the user name and password. Hope to hear from you soon.
Jeff Johnson: No, it’s still there. I have mailed out the new passwords 3 times in the last 2 weeks to the traffic getting seo plugin list. Please check your desktop for an email with the keywords “seo blog”.
Anatoly // Sep 7, 2009 at 11:59 am
Hi, Jeff,
Thank you for this free Plugin, but in Terms of Use Agreement you write that I can have huge losses or do not make money at all. Is it what I need in my business?
Jeff Johnson: Yes, that means there is actually more to building a profitable business long term than just using a great piece of free software. You need good management, financial responsibility, solid marketing, a solid business plan, great ideas, good decision making, etc.
Jorge M. Vega // Nov 11, 2009 at 1:47 am
In trying to install your Free Traffic Getting Seo software via my blog, following your installation instructions, I get an error message that states:
The uploaded file could not be moved to
/home/dashingl/public_html/internetmarketingblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11
Is there another way to upload the file, and if so, where would I uploaded to?
thanks for any help
Jeff Johnson: Some hosts require “unique” folders, or it could be your permissions settings… please ask your hosting company for help
John Robinson // Nov 25, 2009 at 9:33 pm

Jeff Johnson: Please see if there is an answer in our tutorials section:

If not, contact your host and see if they can troubleshoot it for you.
Ken // Dec 1, 2009 at 9:51 am
A quick question. I have a network of 100+ blogs and domains that I wanted to use with your software. Is there a quicker way to set up the blogs and install all the plugins. I have about 50+ domains that I have simply installed latest WP, and was wondering if I can speed up the process.
Thanks for your answer in advance.
Jeff Johnson: wordpress has an api that may be useful, but we haven’t tested it for this purpose.
Here’s the issue: TGSP asks a series of questions that have to be filled out during installation so it can properly configure your blog based on your answers.
So even if you do install it remotely, someone really needs to go into each blog and enter the relevant keywords and such, which means you could aslo install the pluigin while you are there. Yes, you could pre-populate the fields with standard genreric answers and create a universal installation routine, but it would greatly reduce the effectiveness of the “SEO” part of the plugins.
Elizabeth Redd // Jan 18, 2010 at 4:35 pm
I have tried to to update and condif my web site without any success. I cannot back up my files without thinking I will destroy the entire blog. I cannot add the 2.0.3 upgrade. My site is all red because it is not config. I know I sound dumb. I’m sorry. I tried making the blog work by adding the plugin and it is still showing red
Please help.
Jeff Johnson all the tutorials you should need are here: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
As for the back up… it should not destroy anything, but rather preserve if something goes wrong. Please ask your host for help if you aren’t comfortable doing it yourself.
Natalia // Feb 21, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Hi Jeff,
Thank you very much for the software. When I tried to activate the plugin (Godaddy hosting) i got the following message:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. wp-content/plugins/seo-blog/core.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator.
I’ve reinstalles the file, but the problem persits. What can I do?
Thank you very much!

you need ioncube activated on your server. Please review these instructions or contact your host for help http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
