Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin™ Installation Instructions
(Download the software by clicking the bright orange button on this blog that says “Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin ™” and join my mailing list… I’ll email you the download instructions for the free software after you do.)
What is my new “Traffic Getting SEO Plugin™” for WordPress?
It’s a WP plugin… which means that it is easier, faster, and more powerful than my Free SEO Blog Software™ .
It works with wordpress blogs that you have installed on your own server, or hosted server accounts. It will not work with wordpress.com hosted blogs; it is designed for stand-alone wordpress.org blogs.
It’s easier for you to install, faster for you to upgrade your blogs to future versions of wordpress, and more powerful because it allows us to issue updates and tweaks to the SEO settings with much greater efficiency.
It basically takes all the guess work out of “which wp plugins do I use, how do I install them, and how to configure them for maximum traffic-getting power?”
It literally tells you which wp plugins I personally use and have tested, helps you install those other wp plugins automatically via the wp 2.7 api… and then pre-configures those wp plugins based on my parameters.
Here are the plugins that I pre-configure (tweak the settings) for you in the free version of Traffic-Getting SEO Plugin:
- All-In-One-SEO Pack
- Google Sitemap Generator
- Sociable
- Ping Optimizer
- Akismet
- Database Backup
- SI CAPTCHA
- Permalink Migrator
- Google Analyticator
- Facebook Like
The Professional version has 7 additional pre-configured plugins.
My “Traffic Getting SEO Plugin™” for WordPress is “push button SEO” at its finest… easier, faster, and more powerful.
A few things to consider… First, the free version has fewer bells and whistles than my professional version… but it is still very powerful. Second, the pre-configured settings require that I make a few choices as to which settings I use and which I don’t.
Fortunately, if my settings don’t fill your needs you can simply change them yourself, or simply deactivate my Traffic Getting SEO Plugin and it will stop working its SEO magic for you… you can even just restore your blog to its former state and move ahead without my plugin.
But I’m convinced that for the average user my Traffic Getting SEO Plugin can definitely help you “Get More Traffic, More Leads and More Money”… just be sure to apply the strategies you find on this blog for free… there are over 70 video tutorials and process sheets hiding in this blog… so knock yourself out!
Do NOT install Traffic Getting SEO Plugin on existing blogs unless you are a sesaoned pro with WP… it will change settings to your existing plugins that you are using, and rewrite your permalink structure which could cause issue with incoming links.
Update: Traffic Getting SEO Plugin 2.0 free version now has a built in option for using 301 redirects to map your existing incoming links to the “new post” created by a change in your permalink structure. If you don’t know what this means… you should stick with using TGSP on new blogs for now.
I suggest you stick with using it on new blogs only first, and see how it works before you try using it on an existing blog.
More importantly; the training materials I share with you apply to all types of blogs and websites so even if you can’t use the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin on your existing blog… you can still get more traffic, and make more money just by applying what you learn from the tutorials I’ll be sending you.
Here’s how to install it:
Note: You must be using Wordpress 2.7 or greater to use this plugin.
It works with wordpress blogs that you have installed on your own server, or hosted server accounts. It will not work with wordpress.com hosted blogs; it is designed for stand-alone wordpress.org blogs.
Always backup your WP database before installing any plugin, or upgrading your version of WP.
And if you already have your favorite WP Plugins installed and configured “just the way you like it”… then I’d either install a new blog and start from scratch with my plugin… or back up your existing blog before you attempt to install my Traffic Getting SEO Plugin.
The reason is quite simple… my plugin works it magic by automatically configuring other wp plugins… so if you already have other wp plugins installed… Traffic Getting SEO Plugin may change your settings on you… that’s a good thing for most people, but not for everyone.
Here’s How To Upgrade an old version of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin to a newer version:
Traffic Getting SEO Plugin 2.1 replaces the Simple CAPTCHA plugin with a new security plugin. Follow these steps to upgrade TGSP:
- Deactivate the old version of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin and Simple CAPTCHA.
- Delete the old versions of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin and Simple CAPTCHA. Your settings will be saved.
- Upload and Activate the new version of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin.
- From the TGSP Plugins page, install and activate SI CAPTCHA.
Upgrade TGSP To A Newer Version

Wow this seems to be awesome!
I have only recently decided to create a Blog and stumbled upon this information. Would it be best to create all or most of my content before applying this plugin and instructions?
Jeff Johnson says: Yes, wait until after the plugin is installed before doing your posts.
I have used All in One SEO Pack, what would i do? deactive it first, or delete it?
Jeff Johnson: Please follow the installation instructions listed here:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Hi Jeff, great stuff, you always have great content and free stuff, so what does the Traffic Getting content do to invite more traffic to the Blog?
Thanks Jeff,
I have been building my site over the past couple of days. I have not put any content in yet, so the timing was perfect for your plugin.
It’s late tonight, so I will do install it tomorrow.
Thanks again for everything you do.
Duane
Jeff, thanks again for this killer new tool. I have a couple of new Amazon product blogs that I am setting up right now and will give this plugin a go. It is great not having to worry about what settings to change on a fresh install of wordpress.
Awesome! Plugins are so cool, so easy to install and you don’t have to update the entire script… I am looking forward to this! Thanks Jeff!
Hi Jeff,
What is you have a 2.7 wordpress blog with a SEO plugin activated on your blog. Should you remove it first, or just deactivate it?
Mike
Jeff Johnson says: I’d read these directions first to be safe, including the back up.
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
If it is one of the plugins controlled by the traffic getting seo plugin.. it will interface it and tweak the settings. You should be able to change them yourself if so desired.
if the plugin is not recommended by my plugin… it will simply ignore it.
Awesome stuff, Jeff. Was waiting for this to be released…going to be installing it on a niche site I’m building immediately.
Question: any slots available in your coaching club, or do you have any sort of mastermind? I saw a recording your presentation at Jeff Walker’s PLF Workshop (was very impressed) and stumbled on your website after you had already closed it.
Thanks a lot,
Matt
Jeff Johnson says: Thanks! My top levels of my club are still full and haven’t been open since December.
I am going to open a new more affordable level in May.
My mastermind groups have been sold out for over a year and I doubt I’ll open up for new members until at least after the summer… I spend most of my summer with my children.
Jeff! I’ve been using your plugin with a WordPress 2.7.1 installation and it has worked flawlessly. In fact, it tool us from nowhere that I could find in the listings up to a Google Rank of 15 out of over 15 million sites! Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing you again in Detroit next month!
Cheers, Roland
Jeff,
I’m using the pro version of your blog software that I got when I was a member of your Underground Lab last year. It uses WP 2.5 I think.
Should I upgrade to this new plugin and use WP 2.7?
Jeff Johnson says: Yes, the plugin will make it much easier to stay up to date.
Follow the instructions here:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
hey you must be joking to use some ppl plugin as yours. this all in one seo plugin is already out there for some times and u modify make it urs.
WHAT A BIG JOKE!!!!
Jeff Johnson says: You don’t get it.
It automatically suggests and configures a half dozen or more plugins for your blog including all in one seo… which is a great plugin.
The professional version that my client’s get has dozens of them.
The free version has 6 or 8 crucial ones I suggest you use.
Once you install them my Traffic Getting SEO Plugin pre-configures those wp plugins for you based on my settings.
It saves you a ton of time and research.
We test the plugins, we tweak them, and you don’t have to.
But if you are an expert at it, and have plenty of time to test and everything…
Feel free not to use mine.
Hey Guys,
Thank you, thank you. thank you! Just installed the new plugin and immediately it showed me what plugins and tweaks i needed to make to optimize my blog
Very easy to install and use. Thanks again keep up the great work

I cant see where the link is to download?? Tried 2 different browsers. I’m sure its something stupid I’m missing, but can someone show me where the heck the link is to download the thing?
Jeff Johnson says: the download link for Trafic Getting SEO Plugin is in the emails sent out to my list. If you haven’t joined my list yet… just click the bright orange button on this blog. Once you do the wp plugin will be sent to you.
Wow! This is a really outstanding plugin. I am absolutely loving it so far!
Overall Optimization: 98.37%
Search Engine Optimized 97.67%
Secure 100%
I can’t wait to see how it affects my traffic levels!
Hi jeff,
what does this plugin actually do?
Is it just a replacement for Wp automatic upgrade or the all in one SEO pack?
I’m not really sure what this plugin does.
Jeff Johnson says: After you upgrade your current WP blog to version 2.7 or higher… or install a new one… and then install the plugin …. Traffic Getting SEO Plugin analyzes your blog and then suggests other wp plugins that I feel you should have.
If you choose to have wp install the other plugins for you automatically… Traffic Getting SEO Plugin will then automatically configure them for you based on my SEO, money-making, and seo parameters.
You can always choose not to install other plugins, or change the settings.
Jeff,
thank you, I have been waiting patiently for this. We all appreciate the extra effort you put in to give us these wicked tools!
Cheers,
Andrew
Can you tell us what it does, so we can decide if we want to take a chance on it?
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson says: After you upgrade your current WP blog to version 2.7 or higher… or install a new one… and then install the plugin …. Traffic Getting SEO Plugin analyzes your blog and then suggests other wp plugins that I feel you should have.

Will this plugin work with wordpress blogs that have been online for a while? Or is this only for blogs that are brand new?
Thanks!
Jeff Johnson says: Traffic Getting SEO Plugin works with any wordpress blog version 2.7 or higher.
So follow the instructions to update your blog to 2.7 and you’ll be fine.
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for the great software! I’ve been using your blog software for months, with excellent results.
Sincerely,
Michael

It is sooo annoying that this thing doesnt work with a godaddy account and that you have to be a frickin programmer to figure out how to manually make it work with godaddy. Same problem I had with the last product. Waited anxiously for this product in hopes of finally being able to use something, but alas no. Frustrated…
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but blame godaddy and not me.
I personally think their hosting sucks and don’t use it.
I tried to years ago… but it was too restrictive.
But I love their domain system.
Thanks Jeff,
Is it safe to upgrade an existing SEOblog install to 2.7 and add this plugin or is this for new installs only?
Jeff Johnson says: Just follow the instructions here:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
I had a comment previously removed! why did you remove my comment just becos i say your plugin is from some other developer
SEO ALL IN PLUGIN IS from some other ppl not him. he use it and modify to become his.
what a jerk ass
Jeff Johnson says: Not sure what you mean… I didn’t delete your comment knowingly.
As for calling me a jerk ass.. you have no clue what you are talking about.
I didn’t say all in one seo was mine….
My plugin recommends other plugins like all in one which is good, and then my plugin helps tweak the settings for you automatically based on my general parameters.
Feel free not to use it.
Jeff you are one “Cool” mo-fo!! Thanks for everything you give.
Sounds like Raymond is mad he didn’t think of a sweet way to assist others in getting and tweaking plugins
I’ve been implementing some of your methods and am starting to see “free traffic” coming to several test sites. This is great!
It is priming them for when I’m ready to go back and develop or sell them. Thanks again.
Awesome!!! I’ve been waiting for this… and it’s well worth it.
1. Very easy to install.
2. Very easy to understand.
3. 100% optimization achieved.
It’s late, I’m excited, and I’m planning on installing this on the rest of my blogs… first thing in the morning (if I can sleep).
Thanks for getting this developed. You rock!!!
Lee Kendrick
Ok, well I’ll dump godaddy then. I’m checking out gatorhost now and opening an account. Geez. I think I’ve probably made darn near every mistake possible trying to get a darn site up and doing something. From hosting account chosen to trying to get a good video opt in template, to the right autoresponder. its a mess out here. Thanks for your help Jeff though Jeff. Your right, godaddy not your fault. Just know we newbies are stumblin around out here tryin to figure it out. no all encompassing resources out there yet. But love your stuff so far. Thanks for the new plugin. Look forward to getting it going. Chris
thank you
Jeff,
Thank You So Much For Giving This Great Free Stuff!
Hi Jeff
Thankyou so much for this. This is my first blog on wp.org so really looking forward to seeing what your tweaks do for it. Really appreciate all your generous free stuff.
Best wishes
Anne
Wow! This is a awesome!

Can’t wait to see the traffic flowing through.
Very cool!
Considering Pro Version
Thanks Jeff! This is the plugin I was looking for! Saves me lots of time! I’ll start a new blog tomorrow and check it out! Thanks again for your work!
Very easy to install and set up. The only plugin I did not install was the Auto Tagger because it gives a warning that it has not been tested with 2.7. I do have one recommendation and that is to add another set of recommended plugins for the Web 2.0. specifically Twitter and any other social site that has plugins that will assist in traffic generation.
Jeff Johnson says: web 2.0 posting is already handled by the “socialble” plugin recommended by my Traffic Getting SEO Plugin.
Hi Jeff, I’m a member of your undergroundtraininglab and I’m so relieved that you’ve come out with your new ‘traffic getting seo plugin’ – I installed it on a brand new site of mine 3 days ago and it’s a dream. It’s just so easy to keep up to date with all the latest tweaks. It makes so much sense to have created a wordpress plugin for this and it’s something that we can all benefit from in a big way!
Huge thanks go to your and your team!

Hi Jeff,
This is a truly great product for me and other newbie bloggers too!
Thanks alot
Hi Jeff, this is just an incredible service that you’re providing the online community.
Where is info about your professional version?
Thanks,
Tom
Jeff Johnson Says: I’m glad you enjoy it… you wouldn’t believe how much work goes into providing content for this blog!
As for the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin Professional Version… it is only available for my private coaching club clients… but that’s been sold out for months now.
So enjoy the free version for now!
Thanks Jeff,
You make SEO traffic so easy! keep it coming.
I got a kick out of Raymond’s comment, he is such a great webmaster his page doesn’t even load..LOL.
Going to download it. thanks Jeff. Much appreciate it.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks I will try on my site, Is it can be for increase alexa ranking?
JJ:
I used to have a lot of respect for you but this is above the pale. You must think your subscribers are very stupid.
There is no reason to encrypt this so-called plugin since all it does is install other developers plugins. And that is all this lame-ass programs does – tell you what plugins to install and configure them. Try looking at the developers readme file Duh!
Encrypting the source code means we cannot tell what other things your program is doing. Is it SPYWARE? Are you STUFFING COOKIES on my blogs? Are you STEALING MY AFFILIATE COMMISSIONS?
PEOPLE – WAKE UP! NEVER INSTALL ANY ENCRYPTED PLUGIN UNLESS YOU HAVE PAID SOMETHING FOR IT. THAT IS CALLED “CONDSIDERATION” IN COURT AND WITHOUT THAT THERE ARE NO DAMAGES.
READ THE TOS THAT YOU AGREE TO BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THIS SPYWARE PROGRAM. JOHNSON HAS NO LIABILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT THIS PROGRAM DOES TO YOU. IT COULD STEAL ALL OF PASSWORDS AND BANK ACCOUNT INFO AND JOHNSON WOULD HAVE NO LIABILITY AT ALL!
Let’s see how long this post stays up or what comments you and the Sheeple make.
Jeff Johnson says:
Check out the big brain on Vito. You are absolutely right… all of those things could be true…
But they are 100% not true…. not even close to the truth when you are referring to my software or my subscribers (they are not, as you say, stupid).
I do not install spyware or malware of any kind in any of my software, nor do I stuff affilate cookies with them or steal affiliate commissions with them.
I encrypt my software to protect my intellectual property.
I have software programs that I’ve invested almost a million dollars in development for.
Others just tens of thousands.
Others, like this one, dozens and dozens of hours of work… which works out to thousands and thousands of dollars a month.
This plugin does more than just install other plugins.
It configures those plugins in what I believe are the best general optimization settings that will help the majority of users.
My staff and I figure figure this stuff out by spending tens of thousands of dollars a month on staffing, software, servers and research and testing… each and every month.
So why in the world shouldn’t I protect it?
So we encrypt our software as a standard rule.
Don’t like it…. don’t use it.
But it is none of the things you are ranting on about so relax.
100% spyware free
100% adware free
100% cookie stuffing free
100% free to use… or not to use, your choice.
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for the great plugin!
Can this plugin be used with out using a host but directly onto Word Press?
Jeff Johnson says: No, wordpress.com hosted sites normally don’t allow most plugins to be used.
Hey Jeff, this is just what I have been looking for. Thanks. I did install and had hostmonster fix the ioncube issue. Can you help with a couple of issues?
If you put in blog title and slogan it overwrites my custom graphic header so I have to leave those blank. Suggestions?
But the biggest problem that I no notice is that when you try to add a comment to my blog now, you get sent to a 404 error page now. Which plugin could cause this and how to fix?
I also tried to tweet a post and on twitter, the link goes to a 404 page in my blog.
What do I need to fix here to get back up and running?
Thanks. Vickie
Jeff Johnson says: We aren’t in a position to provide support for the free version right now but here are a few items to check..
The commenting could be the simple captcha plugin.
The twitter “tweet this” function is handled by the sociable plugin. But it sounds like you were doing something wrong on twitter itself.
The header design is the problem, along with the theme, neither of which my plugin controls. SO other than simply not using a tag line.. you’ll have to talk to your theme designer.
So here’s Jeff standing on the corner of SEO and FREE, handing out $20 bills, and pissant Raymond criticizing him because it’s not Jeff’s picture on the $20…
Jeff, I for one appreciate the effort and the gift. I also understand exactly what you’re doing. Having lured me in with inexpensive but tasty chum, you are slowly reeling me in (I can feel the little tug on my lip), and I, no doubt, will soon be a paying customer in some way shape or form… That’s good biz. I can respect that.
Thank you Jeff. I have about 17 plugins that I am currently using, do I need to deactivate them first or just create a back up for my blog. Also, How do I back up my blog.
Thank you
Jeff Johnson says: That’s all covered in the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin tutorials.
CHeck them out here:

This looks really good – installed it on one of my ‘less important’ blogs to start off with. seemed to work a dream until I tried to click on (all) of my posts and returns ‘page not found’.
Mild panic ensued and then noticed that one of the ‘tweaks’ was to change the permalinks to
/%post_id%/%postname%/
ie: adding a number before the postname
I already had the permalinks set to
/%postname%/
so I set back to my original settings and the I can read my posts again!
Do you have any comment on this particular tweark, and did I get a problem because I had already adjusted my permalinks?
Cheers, Andy
Jeff Johnson says: I prefer to add an unique number before each “slug” url… this helps avoid duplicate urls on your site.
Not sure what happened but sounds like you worked it out for now.
Including a post ID number in your permalinks does absolutely nothing for SEO. Why would you not have the permalinks set to display a keyword eg category/postname. Don’t want duplicate URL’s, don’t use the same post names…simple.
Actually, the engines ignore them and I’ve been using them since you were “required’ to do so pre-wp 2.0 so… it really doesn’t matter.
However, we’ve been producing wp installation routines for our clients for years so forcing them to change the permalink structures of existing blogs by changing the post id permalink structure didn’t make sense.
They have the option of doing so if they choose, and we provide a 301 solution for it… but personally I don’t bother changing them… i keep the post id out of habit.
Because as you say… they do nothing for SEO one way or another….. there are significantly more important things to worry about in SEO and in your business.
However, WP still suggests for performance reasons you don’t use category names in your permalilnks.
As Jeff explains, the permalink structure works more efficiently when preceded by a numeric entry, such as %post_id%.
From the WP Codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
“For performance reasons, it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure with the category, tag, author, or postname fields. The reason is that these are text fields, and using them at the beginning of your permalink structure it takes more time for WordPress to distinguish your Post URLs from Page URLs (which always use the text “page slug” as the URL), and to compensate, WordPress stores a lot of extra information in its database (so much that sites with lots of Pages have experienced difficulties). So, it is best to start your permalink structure with a numeric field, such as the year or post ID.”
Also, see:
Tips and Tricks
“If you want to list your site in Google News, one of the requirements is to have at least three digit identifier at the end of every url.
This is easily accomplished using %postname%-%post_id% structure, which will append post ID to the end of URL so it becomes http://mysite.com/cooking-tips-tricks-344.”
This latter one is the one I use, as I am not so concerned with the minor performance hits described in the first post.
Terry
Jeff,
Thanks to you and your team for this cool new tool. Of all of the Stompernet bonus guys on the magazine, I have gained more from you than any of the rest and it’s free. Thanks again for not trying to always push stuff like so many of your counterparts do.
Hi Jeff
Many thanks for the new update plugin
Most everyone knows that most of the plugins are available online but can you imagine how much time and energy is used up searching each one and then optimizing each one.
I know I set up hundreds each month and most of time was used up in getting each one just right ( even though it can be outsourced – its more energy and cost)
Your plugin makes it incredibly easy to setup each blog and ready to go and spend more time in what we are supposed to be doing.
How can anyone eve accuse you of being a “jerk” ! Its incredibly stupid – all one has to do is look back and see how much useful information there is ( free ) on this site.
I for one even though I have studied WordPress intensively , have gained valuable insights.
Many thanks Jeff.
Keep up the fantastic work.
Hey Jeff,
(I’ve got way too many plug-ins on my blog right now, but depending on how her install goes, I’ll try it on mine!) Thanks for sharing this. By the way, how do we go about getting the Pro version?
Very cool plug-in. Can’t wait to try it on my wife’s blog.
Thanks again.
Mark Krusch
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but the Pro version of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin is currently only for my coaching clients
I normally don’t sell my Pro versions to the public.
Thanks for the plug-in Jeff
Am new to blogging…but am ready to make a start.
I am confused between the difference between WordPress 2.7 and WordPress direct (advocated by Ed dale and team). Can any one tell me what’s different….will these plug-ins work with the latter platform.
Thank you.
Jeff Johnson says: 2.7 and my Traffic Getting SEO Plugin are free to use. WordPress direct is a paid wordpress “service”.
I have no idea if wordpress direct allows outside plugins, you’d have to ask them.
Great Stuff Jeff! Super simple to install and setup.
Once again… You Rock!
Thanks,
Tim
Who do you use or recommend hosting for your blogs? Thanks Gregory
Jeff Johnson says: Here are a few that are the easiest to use with the plugin
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/ioncube/
And here are quite a few more we use or recommend:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/best-web-hosting/
There are great conversation in here. Congrat! Jeff you’re doing a good job in here. This is shown you are really KNOW what are you doing online. Even there is some bad comments in here I found out that persons are not sincere(no link website).
You are really Smart Computing Guy!
Jeff,
I have used All in One SEO before and was very pleased with it’s performance. My question to you is have you tested Headspace 2?
I have seen some SEO bloggers move to this one and wanted to get your opinion. Thanks!
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, haven’t tested headspace 2 yet.
Hey Jeff,
I cannot access the download page. The login only stays onscreen for about a millisecond so I cannot insert username and password ?
Greg
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but that download page is the same one we’ve been using for almost a year and I’ve never heard that one before. Please try another browser including Internet Explorer.
Thank you Jeff for the awesome new plugin.
We installed it on our main site with no issues. It works great! Keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to more of your products.
Best Regards,

Hey Jeff,
I found the thread here about post permalink structure so I went and set the blog to default and found all of my links. Am I able to change this structure so I can utilize your plug in more effectively?
Also with the PHP configuration for IonCube etc ona go daddy site am I wasting time with this plug in, or the permalink structure is that defeating your plugins ability to work on traffic
Jeff Johnson says: I’ve only heard two permalink issues so far so I’m not sure what is causing it. Chances are it isn’t the Trafic Getting SEO Plugin but we’ll look into it.
As for the pemralink structure in general… yes, I prefer them to be rewritten but I have plenty of blogs that don’t use that feature and work just fine for traffic.
But if godaddy doesn’t allow ioncube loader, you can’t use this plugin.
You’ll find several hosting companies on this page that work just fine for the ioncube

Would any of this be good on my website to attract buyer leads to my business.
Jeff,
Posted (er, tried anyway) yesterday, but not sure what happened.
Permalink problems usually arise from not having the .htaccess file permissions set to be writable (775 or 777, and can then be set back after changes/updates for added security).
Jeff Johnson says: Yes, that is an issue to check. Thanks.
I had the same problem on a couple of my blogs, changed the permissions, went back to Settings==> permalinks and hit update, things were fine then.
Jeff Johnson says: Sometimes all you acutally have to do is click settings, permalinks and then save.. without making changes or enable write access.
Any help/suggestions on how best to tweak the additional text entries for the ‘additional header text’ and the like?
Jeff Johnson says: It’s all about primary and secondary keywords in addition to a “call to action” or compelling copy to get them to click to your site in the serps.
Also, nice tweak on the Dashboard. A bit obtrusive for my liking, but a very, very cool idea. First time I’ve seen that one.
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but my entire business is “user supported”… if my users aren’t wiling to look at sales messages I couldn’t offer free software and tutorials…. I’d have to get a real job “working for the man”
We use openx to control it, same as the ads in our facebook applications and websites.
I saw mention of ‘this is the free version’ but don’t see where the ‘paid’ version is. Is that in your membership only?
Jeff Johnson says: Yes, coaching clients only, but the coaching club is full right now so the free version is the best I can offer you right now.
Much appreciated.
Be well, live well, die last,
Allen
Jeff,
Good stuff. In case anyone is wondering, it works fine on WPMU (WordPress Multiuser).
A suggestion for most people – right click on the plugin install links and open a new window or tab. Then do the instructions and close it. It’s faster than navigating back to the Traffic Getting page.
I have a feeling that the Pro version will configure and install everything without any clicking around.
Burton
Jeff, baby, love your stuff man! lol
Quick question… I can’t seem to find the link to actually download the software. I tried looking for it in the Plugins section of wordpress but it’s not available in search.
Where can I actually download your Traffic Getting SEO Plugin?
You’re awesome man… Thanks in advance for all your help.
Arman V.
P.S. That guy who left the bad comment really pissed me off… if people really knew what you were all about they’d bite their tongue before they said anything bad about you.
Jeff Johnson says: Always glad to hear positive feedback, glad you like the “stuff”.
Traffic Getting SEO Plugin is only sent out to my subscribers.
If you are already on my list it should have been sent out to you a few days ago, so check your inbox.
If you are NOT on my list… make sure you click on that bright orange button below this post, or in the upper left corner of this page… and join the list. ONce you do, it will be sent out to you.
I uploaded, activated and the “Traffic Getting” tab/dropdown is not visible in the left menu.
Please advise
Jeff Johnson says: It sounds like you activated it but did not agree to the terms of sevice agreement. So, uninstall it, reactivate it, and then agree to the terms of service and you should be all set.
Hi, Jeff,
I installed the plug-in without a hitch. This is my first blog, so forgive me if this is a dumb question:
How do I optimize each article that I post for a different keyword? Or does the plug-in do that automatically?
Thanks for all the great info you share here!
Jeff Johnson says: Start by using your primary keyword for each article in your titles of the post, the post itself, and the tags, and the category for the post.
Then use your secondary and supporting keywords in your post, your tags, etc.
the software will help with the rest.
Will this product work with Blogger.com?
Jeff Johnson says: No, wordpress 2.7 or greater only.
I did install successfully. Pretty easy with all the great video tutorials.
However, my previous links on my blog and my current post needed to have a ? before the number post.
I thought I could adjust this in the General Settings but I could not find it in the Word Press
upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jeff Johnson says: URL stucture is controlled under “settings/permalinks”
Does this software work with the datafeedr and caffeinated plugins?
Jeff Johnson says: It doesn’t interface with those two plugins but I can’t say whether or not they’ll “play nice” together.
Hey Jeff,
I used fantastico to instal a new wordpress. Then I installed Your traffic getting seo software. When I went into the admin area of my blog it is the old version of wordpress. Now I’m a newbie of sorts so bear with me, I ‘m not sure why it changed from the new wordpress to the old wordpress format. Any help? By the way , Thanks so much for the seo software and for all you great advice that you give the people like me out there. You give away more than most people sell.
All The Best,
Jason
Jeff Johnson: Your fantastico must have installed the old version of wordpress. Just follow the upgrading instruction listed below and you should be fine.
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Just installed the plugin. I was surprised to see I was only 48% optimized. Now I am at 99%. I will go and see what the tweaks are that were put into effect. What do you suggest as a way to monitor the success of the plugin?
Thanks, Mary
Jeff Johnson: Actually, the newest version of the beta of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin no longer states “optmized”.
I told my programmer to change that…. for several reasons.
First, the free version has less than a third of the options the professional version has so technically there would be no for the free version to be “100% optmized”.. since it doesn’t have all the required features.
Second, it wasn’t supposed to be a measure of optimization but rather of utilization… are you using the plugins suggested plugins and allowing it to configure them properly.
True optimization of 100% could never be achieved by anyone, using any product. It just doesn’t exist.
So I had them change that meter in the new beta version.
As for how do you know it is working… if you installed it on an existing blog and traffic goes up, you’ll have some idea.
If you install two blogs with identical content on different domains and have identical number of subscribers, in bound links, etc… and one does better than the other… you know.
But that’s impossible. So what we do is measure performance increases across multiple blogs, markets, themes , etc and see the overall effect.
Dude…where is the download link to download the plugin? I’m either really dense today or you are making it too hard for your users to hunt around for your stuff. I’m sure it’s the former
Jeff Johnson : Whoops, the main blog posts about the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin tell you to join my list and I’ll send you the link… but the installation instructions just has a link to download it.
So.. click the bright orange button that says “Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin”, join the list and I’ll mail it to you.
ok..upgrading to 2.7 is confusing the hell out of me, is there any simple video tutoriar for this instruction?
Jeff Johnson says : Here is the installation page which links to wordpress tutorials:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Hi Jeff,
Cool software, but I have one question;
How do I get the pro version?
Jeff Johnson: Thanks, but it is not currently for sale. Coaching client and personal use only. But I will be distiributing a few copies here and there.
Hi Jeff
I just wanted to say after installing your SEO WP Plugin that I was impressed and very pleased to see how easy it was to get those SEO functions going. I use many of them on my various sites but this sure beats having to constantly remember to upload and install them all one by one.
As an Internet Marketer myself I can say without reservation your site is one of the few with great workable knowledge that anyone taking the time to study can learn a lot.
Best Regards
Phil Eugene
Hi, Jeff,
Do you have any recommendations on themes that may or may not be compatible with Traffic Getting SEO Plugin, i.e. widgetized vs non-widgetized?
I’m considering using Courtney Tuttle’s “Dateless Sniper 2.0″ to build a site that won’t require daily posting. It is widgetized. Do you think there would be compatibility issues?
Jeff Johnson says: It works with pretty much any theme and we’ve tested it almost exclusively with themes with widgets… so widgets are fine.
Grat work man !!!
Congratulations!
Thanks for the plugin Jeff – I’ve updated blogs on Hostmonster and Godaddy with no probs at all.
I’ll be watching the traffic now with great interest.
I used a different Captcha to you – I find most of them freak my eyes out – including the one you have here so I use Math Captcha
All The Best
Alex
I cannot get the plugin to work! It says that the IonCube Loader is missing. After installing and reinstalling the loading all over my cPanel, it still says the same error message. What is wrong? Help!!!!!!
thanks,
Nate
Jeff Johnson says: Ioncube loader is at the very top of the installation instructions listed here:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Hi. I have blogs at both Lunarpages and Bluehost and with both I encountered the same problem, namely that when trying to intall the plugin, I get this message: “Installing Plugin from file: undergroundtraininglab-seo-wordpress-1.7.zip
The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/scrap37/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2009/04.” (varies by site).
With Bluehost I installed ioncube first, but same result. Doesn’t look like anyone has encountered the same problem though.
Keep up the good work. Thanks
Morten
Will your SEO Plugin work with Blogger, or just WordPress?
Jeff Johnson: Only wordpress.
Since I installed the Traffic Getting plugin, I no longer get pingbacks or comments of any kind. What gives?
Tom
Jeff Johnson: Check your “settings/discussion” and make sure you allow for them.
By default Traffic Getting SEO Plugin not only allows them… we encourage them.
Hi Jeff,
There was mention of a ‘Pro’ version. Where and how to get that?
Thanks!
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but Traffic Getting SEO Plugin Professional is only available to my private coaching clients at this time.
We’ve discussed selling it to the public but for now please just enjoy the free verson
Hi Jeff,
I haven’t installed yet, but I sure did like the price.
Hey it has to be great. I just want to say thanks a bunch.
John
Hi Jeff
I have used 4 hosting companies and HostGator is the best by far. I have four domains and 1 has 200 sub domains. I even set up a site for my sister the book writer. I will be trying the new plug in as soon as I get time to put it up.
Clyde
WOW
Clyde here, just finished the install, went from 27% to 98.37%. This is great.
Thanks Jeff
Dear Jeff,
I’m so absolutely impressed from your complete care for doing that all – and even for for free for us – with all your plugins and tutorials. You must have a big heart for others. This will help me a lot, to get my job onto a higher level. And I had only to “click around” per your instructions.
Do you have more of this stuff ? Your big German fan from Texas, Thomas L.
Jeff Johnson says: Thanks! I do have stuff from other sites that I stopped giving away but is still very applicable in today’s environment.
I’ll see if I can dig it up and share it here.
Just be sure to join my mailing list because a lot of that stuff is only shared with my list.
Just click the bright orange button on this blog to join.
I will learn more, if i have any question I be asking
Hi Jeff,
I just wanted to say thanks for the plug in and all the stuff you do for us.
It amazes me that there are some people that not only have to complain about a free lunch, but also try their best to rip you to shreds for giving out what can literally be a million dollar education for those that will shut up and watch what you do.
The majority of us do appreciate you though. Keep up the good work!
Michael
Jeff Johnson says: I was just telling my staff that providing free software and content can really be a pain in the butt, and isn’t always worth the hassle, especially the free software.
But comments like this really make it all worthwhile
My intallation fails using the 2.7.1 Plug-in Installer. Using FTP to load the directory to the wp-plugins directory also fails (the plug in does not show as “installed”). Any ideas?
Jeff Johnson says: The ftp issues sounds like you either an a firewall proxy limiting your uploads, or a hosting specific issue preventing upload.
Check permissions on the folders and/or contact your hosting company for help, they’ll know what to do in your particular case.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the quick response. I don’t have trouble uploading plug-ins (I just did a few a couple of days ago). Yours shows up in the plug in directory, it just doesn’t show on the dashboard.
I’ll check the permission angle for the automated plug in process, because I’ve run into that issue before. I’ll check with my hosting service on that.
I just read Craigs post and the fail to upload/install…I had that problem too and when I uploaded the whole zip file like it showed in the options/directions you provided, it worked like a charm. Sweet… wonderful and thank you again…
Mel
Somewhere I lost my post that I sent before the Craigs posting… In it I just said..THANK YOU JEFF!!!! I used your pro software and loved it and sice I am no longer a member of the club, this is truly a God Send and…it was soooo easy to get everything optimized. You and your team have truly out done yourselves…once again.
Thanks so very much for all you do for us and the free and awesome tools you hand out to the mob…
= D
Mel
Thanks Jeff,
Talk about info overload, I have this folder on my PC seo-blog ioncube I downloaded and wondering what is this ? LOL.
Ok now I know, got you email today so I’ll download the new one in case it’s different. After reading through the comments and some very interesting ones I’m going to try it on my newest blog Free Income Site/Blog
I install your wp-blog but couldn’t find a theme I liked so I changed to new theme so hope everything works.
Wish me luck and I’ll let you know how it works out.
Thanks again.
I left this message last nite, so I don’t know what happened. Thanks for the great software! I have one question, Can you use or do you recommend using Caffeinated Content plugin with your SEO package? Thanks for the answer in advance.
Ken
Jeff Johnson says: I have never tested it it but as long as it doesn’t try to control some of the same functions it shoudl be ok.
Back up your blog and dataabase first, and then try installing it and activating.
Hi Jeff, I have been using your SEO blog since the first version whereby we have to install by database and this is definitely faster and easier.
But I do encounter a few problems and hope you can help:
1) After activating the plugin, I go to manage plugin and I see an error message:
“The plugin simple-captcha/simpleCAPTCHA/simple_captcha.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.”
How do I solve this?
2) Since I have been using Jeff SEO Blog since it first come out, I can see the traffic stats increasing. But I did not get much earnings from Adsense or other affiliate links.
Someone told me that the unique visitors are actually the spiders and not human coming to my site.
3) My sites are indexed, some 1000 pages to 3000 pages over but somehow they are deindexed now.
Please advise on how not to get deindexed.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Jeff Johnson says: 1. Try reinstalling the captcha plugin
2. A good stats program will tell you spider visits versus human visits so look closely at the report.
3. Could be temporary… happens all the time. However, there are too many variables to consider if not temporary…. each site is unique… It could be your content source, IP contamination, bad links out, bad site structure, server header errors, etc… no way for me to know. Sorry.
Hi Jeff
Built my blog and added your Plugins and everything very nearly 100%, But…
I have an annoying little problem (yes I know we all have!!) when I go and press the “apply blog tweaks” button.
There is only the 1 tweak needed (currently blog optimised at 99.72%, 100% when tweaked) according to your Utilization Meter. After the tweak button is pressed I discover the pages, other than the home page, that I have added to my blog theme when clicked on, I get the “404 page can not be found on server error”. I then have to go to settings and set the permalinks back to the default setting as it is on the custom structure setting, then all is well again.
Being new to building a blog I can’t help wondering what if any I have done wrong or am I better to just keep going back and re-setting the permalink to default every time I make any tweaks?
Jeff Johnson says: The Traffic Getting SEO Plugin changes the permalink structure. Once it does you need to go into settings/permalinks and then hit the “save changes” button to enable .htaccess writing of the new structure.
I’ve asked the guys to be sure they address this in the training if they haven’t already.
wow..your plugin is awesome..thanks
I ran across a post at BlogCatalog.com that asked, “What have you done lately to get traffic to your blog?”
I immediately told e1 how I downloaded Jeff’s Traffic Getting SEO Plugin and went from 1.8% optimization to over 90%.
Those guys started rioting like New Yorkers after a free KFC dinner. lol
I posted the link so there will be a lot of happier bloggers tomorrow. lol
Jeff, If you are still monitoring this…how can I get a similar plugin for my website or is there any such thing?
Thanks, much love for you and your plugin, Jeff.
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but there isn’t a plugin that works for a regular “static” site unless the static site is built by an optimization program.
But it’s not “optimization” as in guarantee of of traffic… it’s utilization of the Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin’s recommended settings… the pro version has even more.
Hi Jeff,
Just installed the SEO plugin, WOW! Thanks so much. I learned how to backup my site using your tutorial and I followed through with the plugin.
Now my site is 100% optimized! Thank you sooo much! I’m looking forward to your other teachings. Great job!
Hi, thanks for the plugin.
I have high traffic and hundred pages indexed but not making much.
Is there any where to find advertiser who will pay to advertise on my website that has no pagerank?
Thanks for the advice.
Jeff Johnson: I have people contact me all the time for advertising on a new site.
As long as it is in a market with lots of advertisers….
Just put a link on our site that says “advertise here” or something similar and they’ll find you.
Or you could try an ad broker… just search for “sell ads on website” or “sell ads on blog” and you’ll find plenty of brokers and advice.
Vitto what a fruit cake.
Thanks a million Jeff I install majority of plug ins you inbed and the comfiguration since I do SEO a bit, when a fried ask me to tweek dozens of his sites I sent him to get your plugin and he loves it he is a total newbie and it makes it way easy for him.
For me I could do the dead myself but I still use your plugin sometimes it just makes it easier for me some times my seo brain hurts and me no want think
too much.
If only others like vido or vito whatever knew of your character they would say less ignorancey, but perfect worlds only exist in Heaven.
So God bless you Jeff I look forward to the day i can be in your coaching club and get the Pro version .
I have installed the plugin and my traffic has literally increased 7 times. I am receiving 750 unique visitors to my website and this is absolutely awesome. Your stuff works, I don’t know what you did or how you do it, but this crap works and this will not be the last you hear from me.
I have tried for over 3 hours to install this plugin to no avail. I have Bluehost and I have followed all the instructions with no luck. The plugin seems very promising, but maybe it just won’t work on Bluehost.
I keep having the same IonCube error every time, no matter what I do:
Site error: the file /home1/username/public_html/sitename/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 contacted tech support from Bluehost, but after quite some time, I still got no solution to my problem.
This is really frustrating because I was looking forward to this “plugin” version for sometime instead of having to upload a new WordPress installation each time.
Please HELP!
Jeff Johnson: This really hasn’t been an issue we’ve run into that often but I’m sure it is frustrating.
Here’s a tutorial for ioncube sensitive hosts that may help:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/ioncube/
Why is it that everytime you upgrade a product in order to get access to it we have to keep “opting in on a email list when you already have our email address?
Jeff Johnson says: It’s called list segmentation and is something major marketers use for target marketing.
You only have to optin to the software list and free content once.
However, in the past I sent out the software to the non-software list which is how you may have gotten it.
But going forward I will only send out the actual update to the software and free content list to make sure everyone is on my free content list.
That’s the only way I can be sure that everyone gets the updates to the software and the free content in addition to the other segmented mailings.
Hi Jeff,
I am using your new plugin and have just one minor issue.
I do not use the plugin “sitemap” as it had some issues in the past with Google. I do however use the commercial version of “Sitemap generator” so my site does have a sitemap.
When I try to add blog details or optimize the plugin I get the following…
“IMPORTANT! You must have the core plugins installed to add blog details!”
I am guessing the plugin cannot locate my sitemap as the generator is in it’s own folder outside WP, is there anyway around this?
Kind regards,
Ken Mathie
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin won’t work with your external sitemap… it will only work with the recommended one.
hi Jeff
lol – i had to laugh at some of the previous posts listed above regarding you trying to add spyware or stealing someones idea – my heart goes out to you and your sense of generousity – the higher realm your charity takes you sir, will no doubt test you further by trying to add negatives in yr path – but i can see you handled it like a true saint – well done – some people you just can’t help no matter how hard you try…..their choice at the end of the day:)
My question(s) today for you sir;
1. Is it necessary to unistall the previous Traffic Getting SEO Plugin to install the newer version?
2. I put through an order for the Launch Tree using your hoplink lastnight, but I still can’t see any email to confirm the order 10 hours later – is it safe to assume the order didn’t go through?
blessings:)
wayne
Jeff Johnson says:Thanks!
1. Not necessary, but recommended since it does have several enhancements. Will only take 5 minutes.
2. Launchtree is way behind on emails and such. They told me this morning they are working on it… demand is much greater than they expected.
I love this plugin. Where can I get the Professional Edition of the plugin?
Jeff Johnson: Either join my coaching club, which is currently not open to new members, or buy launchtree while my offer for a free copy is still good. (I just needed a few more beta testers for the pro version so the bonus worked out well).
LaunchTree bonus offer
Just want to let you know I contacted a tech rep and they had to change my php config status via SSH. Somehow just changing it in under “php config” was only “showing” that it was changed, but the actually file wasn’t changed.
Anyways, I didn’t have to do anything extra to fix it. It was just a problem with the file on the server. Unless you have SSH access then you can’t fix it yourself. You will have to have a rep do it.
Hope this helps someone!
That is exactly the same problem I have.
The error message is on the dot.
Blue Host answered me back with the following
“The plugin is broken and won’t work on our servers”
Jeff Johnson: Looks like blue host has made some changes since moving to php5.
Here’s what my guys say:
Please contact blue host if you need more help with this issue.
“I was just speaking with Mario about this and he said that he had called Blue Host and Blue Host changes the htaccess file when you set the settings of ionCube.
So what they would have to do, before doing the ionCube fix is save their blog’s original htaccess file, apply the ionCube fix, then overwrite the htaccess file with the original one you saved.”
Please contact blue host if you need more help with this issue.
hey Jeff
If you get a chance, could you pls check that my order for Launch Tree went through?
The email addrs i used is linked to this post.
many thanks
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but they haven’t sent me a copy of my buyer’s list yet so I have no way of verifying it for you.
hi Jeff
I have been in contact with the Launch Tree people and they have since sent me my access details….also will be informing them to notify you of the purchase so that I can receive your magical Traffic Getting SEO Plugin Professional bonus.
Please email me the quickest way for them to do that….!
Jeff Johnson: Thanks! I have a few hundred sales so I’ll have to email everyone at the same time.
I hope to have a final list from them next week.
much appreciated:)
I can install the plugin with ftp & apply the two
tweaks, but soon as i click traffic getting or apply
other blog tweaks, i get: Cannot load seo-blog/core.php. I have tried different things,
but its the same. My blog is only 44% seo
optimized. Any suggestions?
Jeff Johnson: Sounds like you may have missed a few of the files during upload. Please try reinstalling the plugin.
Just installed a new wordpress site and your seo package. All Ican say is that the package is AWESOME! You are saving me a lot of time and work. Now lets see how it performs!
Looking forward to all your updates.
Thank you Jeff!
I Have your software installed
0.4.5 Should I Upgrade to the new 0.4.8
and if so is it a ease upgrade?
Jeff Johnson says: Upgrades are easy and should be done to make sure you have the most recent solutions.
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Hi jeff
I dont have a wordpress blog yet,
But I will soon and I will try your SEO plugin
but I really need to get more traffic to my website.
tutorials on how to grab more free traffic to my website will be great.
thanks
Jeff Johnson: Those tutorials are all over this blog, on my youtube channel (see link at top) and in my email list (click the orange button for the plugin)
Hi Jeff,
I purchased Launch Tree through your link and wanted to know where I can download The Supercharged Pro Ed of the Plugin….
I have been using the free version and it is awesome…
Can’t wait to receive the Pro…
To be honest I missed out on your seminar and trying to save up to be able to purchase your course…
Your Awesome, Dude
Thank-you
Regards,
Geno
Jeff Johnson: We’ll mail it out sometime next week to confirmed buyers. THanks!
just found this and installed it – it seems like brilliant idea so thatnks for puttinth the beta together – would like some details on the pro version please!
Jeff Johnson says: Traffic Getting SEO Plugin Pro is currently only available to members of my coaching club, which isn’t currently open.
But we are opening it back up soon so stay tuned!
Hi Jeff hope you doing well. 1st of all many thanks for your support.

That bright orange button takes you to this page for downloading:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/main.php
Jeff:
Very nice of you to offer software for free like this. My wife is a writer for several paid content sites. She is getting ready to start her own blog shortly. As i read above…. the pro version is only available to your students…. I also see you are considering selling a few copies here and there out side of the mentoring site. My question is this….. How would one get an advanced notification of such a release? I expect the price to be worth the cost…. as i have read a lot of great comments about the free version.
Jeff Johnson: Not sure if we will be selling it as a standalone but if we do just make sure you join my “free traffic getting plugin” mailing list… just click the bright orange button.
Hi Jeff,
where there is bad news there is also good news. Your plugin had nothing to do with my disfunction of the slides. It was me who posted a new post and this was taken over by the slide shower. No problem and sorry for the confusion.
Hank
Not the greatest but definitelly useful and free. Thanks.
This is a joke right?
Ha, nevermind! Found it!
….. sigh of relief …..
Re permalink issue.
Links failed for me with the category and tag fields set to either of empty or ‘.’
Looks like a WP 2.7 bug to me though
Thanks, sometimes I need to be pointed in the right direction : )
I shall watch my stats with anticipation over the next few weeks.
Thank you Jeff. I have installed your free plug-in and are working on making the suggested changes. You’ve provided an awesome tool here – too bad some have a problem with what you do. I don’t and am very appreciative of your help.
Thanks jeff, i look forward to useing this and testing it
Will this plugin work on blogs through WordPress Direct? I’ve not been able to find out what version of WordPress is being used to run my WPD blog.
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson: It will only work in wordpress blogs that allow you to add your own plugins.
I don’t use wordpress direct so i can’t say one way or another.
Hi. Thanks for this.
I am testing it out on my site before suggesting it to some of my design clients.
I was having a prob. with the plugin page in Firefox(on 2 separate computers) – clicking install plugin – resulted in nothing. But then I tried IE & the pop-over opened up and worked fine (weird – cause its usually the other way around )
Any chance of getting it working in Firefox – I really detest having to even open IE.?
But if not, thanks for all your work on this anyhow.
Jeff Johnson: My developers and testers all use firefox exlusively and they haven’t had an issue.
And thousands of people tested it in beta without issues and I’m sure about half of them used firefox.
So I suspect it may be your particular computer that is causing the issue.
Jeff, your pluggin is really quite amazing. Everything you need to optimize a wordpress blog in one place. Outstanding work by you and your team. This really help the newbie just getting started and I recommend it to all my clients. Thanks for the great service you provide.
hey Jeff
Anymore news from the Launch Tree guys re Traffic Getting SEO Plugin Pro bonus mailout?
just eager to get started with this !
many thanks
Jeff Johnson says: Not yet, I’m eager to give it out, too
Hopefully this week.
Ok . . .
I am going to show my limited abilities
How in the hell do you open up a zip file?
It’s downloaded . . .I right click to open
Then a bunch of files come up that are in code
Would like to try this out with out having a brain aneurysm
Or going postal
THX for your reply
Jeff Johnson says: You’ll find the plugin tutorials here:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
And I’m not sure if we have any “how to unzip a file” tutorials for the public, but if you search google you’ll find a ton.
hey, awesome stuff but one quick question. 3 of the 5 recommended plug ins are not compatible with version 2.7.
Is anyone else getting this message?
Should i just install anyway?
Thanks
Freddy’
Jeff Johnson says: the plugin is only compatitble with 2.7 so you should be fine; they just haven’t been “certified” to work with 2.7.
Hey webmaster,
I got the email telling me to download the software, but it takes me to this page – where the orange button takes me back to the page where I originally entered my email to get the email telling me to go to this page to download the software, where the orange button takes me to….
Well you get the picture.
Any clues or am I really going blind?
Jeff Johnson: Haven’t heard this one yet
I just checked the email that tells you how to download the software and it worked fine.
Please check it again and let me know if you are still having troubles.
Just make sure you confirmed your request to be on my list… once you do you’ll receive the download instructions along with the installation instructions in the very first emal with the subject line:”your free traffic getting seo blog software and training tutorials from Jeff Johnson”
Well I just reread the email and I’ll stand over here int eh corner with the dunces hat on for a moment.
I am having huge problems after installing this. No one can leave a comment, single post pages now have multiple posts on them. I uninstalled Jeff’s plugin, but can’t figure out which “tweaks” I have to un-do to get this back to a more functional level. Jeff – you guys should give us a list of all the tweaks you did so we can undo if needed. Simply uninstalling your plugin still leaves a mess.
Jeff Johnson says: If you followed the instructions you have a back up copy of your blog ready to go… simpy restore the back up and you’ll be all set.
As for a list of all the tweaks… sorry, but I don’t have a comprehensive list since we change tweaks with each version upgrade. Not to mention there would be way to many to easily list.
But I may issue a video that outlines some of the choices that could be changed based on your objectives.
Hi Jeff,
I’m having the same problem as Steve M above, just looping around the instructions and opt in page.
Any suggestions?
All the best
Trevor
Jeff Johnson says: I’m not sure how you are “looping” around.
Click the orange button, join the list.
Once you confirm to be on the list I send you the download instructions.
Use the passwords in the first email to download the software.
I just checked the first email and the links and the paswords work correctly.
On the download page there are two items.
I just cut and pasted them below:
1. Very Important!
Review These Installation Tutorials First:
2. Download the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin:
Which page are you trying to download the software from and where does the “looping” happen?
We love this plugin!
Great. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the updated plugin. I have downloaded your WP blogs before and find them to be easy and convenient. Thanks again!
Not to seem ungrateful or anything, but the “big orange button” doesn’t actually do anything but send me back to the opt in page. I think that was the same problem I had a few weeks ago when someone promoted the plugin to me. I came here, got the run around, and left. I forgot about it then came back again when another person linked it in their email, only to have the same problem.
Did you actually plan to give this away or am I confused about something?
Ken
Jeff Johnson says: You have to optin to get the software.
Click the orange button and join the list.
Once you confirm you request for the software via email we will send it to you.
It’s the same list I used for my old Free SEO Blog Software.
But it is completely new and different software.
So you have to be on the list.
If you are already on the list… the optin form will tell you so and give you the new download instructions for the new software.
Colleagues!

Hai Jeff, thank a lot for this great wp plugin. I’ve just installed it. I hope it can help me increase my position on google search engine.
Great Plugin, I’m very interested to see what the Uber version is like and what it adds over the free version.
There are more plugins that are necessary and very important for SEO of the blog.
Another great feature / your next auto product idea, is a plug in that automates the monetizing of a blog, I’ll wait and see.
But thank you, this has made basic optimisation of a WP blog exceptionally easy.
Jeff, It was sure fun installing it. Very intuitive to WordPress. IF it does what you say it will do, I’ll be ecstatic!
As you can see, I have a blogger domain for by travel site. You have mentioned your traffic plug-in is for wordpress. Does it mean it cannot be applied to blogspot domain? Pl.clarify
Jeff Johnson: sorry, wordpress plugin only.
Jeff,
Thanks for the great plugin! Install was easy.
I do have a sort of related question. What is the difference between a post and a page? I am working on a project where it has been requested to use pages instead of posts. I am wondering if there is a difference in SEO value and do the pages get pinged?
Thanks,
Bob
Jeff Johnson: Pages reside outside the normal wp system in that they don’t show up on the front page and such. As for SEO, you can actually use different page templates for each page which means you can control the page’s unique SEO… not better, not really worse… just different.
Pages can be set to alllow incoming pings if you’d like.
This IS a great plugin- it worked like a charm on a new blog install and made set up a much faster process, now I will try it on an existing blog ! Thanks for this.
Hi
after I install the ping plug in , what places do I have the blog ping to?
Jeff Johnson: We installed a custom ping list so you don’t have to worry about it; the blog takes care of it.
Great Software. I just finished installing on a new blog and starting to post. Will follow up wiht my results!
Download says “IT does NOT appear to be a valid Archive”. Cannot open via zip….
Now what?
Jeff Johnson says: Please try to download it again.
Hi Jeff,
Right after step 5 above I am prompted for username password and host name. I entered my username and pass to get into the new wp install (2.7.1) and tried several things for hostname. I may be making this too complex but the ole brain is fried right now.
For hostname I tried localhost, server.free-art5icle-depot.com, the domain name on my server = forum-posting.info, and what I thought was the name of the mysql database – forum_wpd1.
So how do I get past the error message that says “Error: There was an error connecting to the server, Please verify the settings are correct.”
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson says: That’s your ftp program asking you to enter your usernames and passwords for your ftp access, not your wordpress blog.
Your hosting company can help you with your ftp settings and such.
‘Hi Jeff it’s great plugins and I hope it’s have a great result too I am looking forward to this! Thanks Jeff!
Is this plugin good for WordPress static sites?
How about sites that use static pages but has a blog as a secondary page/area?
Jeff Johnson: Not sure what you mean by “wordpress static sites”… if you mean “pages”, then yes.
Great for supporting a static sites and page… I teach it and use it all the time.
Hi Jeff
I’m sure its a great plugin
haven’t got a new blog to try it on at mo and
don’t want to put it on an existing until I know what plugins it changes or installs
but cannot find anywhere on your website ni in instructions a list of the plugins it will alter or install.
I already have the all in one seo pack and captchas on my comments with cform, bad behavious, sitemap and a number of other plugins.
so would like to know what it installs before I activate it
thanks Ian
Jeff Johnson says: In that case I’d just try it on a new blog. But I’ll try to get a list together of what plugins the free version uses, but I doubt I’ll ever reveal all the changes we make… it’s my secret sauce
Hi Jeff,
If I already have a blog with tons of content, will this help, or will it only help with what I publish in the future?
Also, how do I buy your pro version?
Thanks,
KC
Jeff johnson: Sorry, but the pro version isn’t for sale, I only give it out to my coaching clients.
You can install it on an existing blog but be sure to back it up first.
Here’s how:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Site error: the file /home/la100div/public_html/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.
Jeff Johnson: consult the installation tutorials…. it has to do with your hosting account, not the software per se.
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Or contact your hosting provider for help.
GREAT PRODUCT!
But I am having one problem with it. I had All In One SEO installed already, but after I installed your product it did a funny thing. Under Blog Details in the blog slogan section where you put in a tag line/phrase it adds backslashs to the phrase. I.E., my phrase is “Where Your Diabetes Won’t Control You!” it comes out as “Where Your Diabetes Won\\\’t Control You!” I was able to remove all but one of the backslashs, but am unable to remove the last one. I am assuming this is some type of bug with the product. Please correct ASAP because it makes my blog seem unprofessional and unauthoritative. However, the rest is fine. THANX for such a great product.
Jeff Johnson: Actually, individual themes can control the slashes and the placement of the blog name and the title and/or the tagline in the title tags.
Modify your theme so the keyword phrase is first.
BTW is it OK to add to Sociable other sites such as the email and print options or should we just go with what the settings it comes with. The reason I ask is because I want my readers to be able to email and print my pages for reference to their medical teams that care for them.
Jeff Johnson : You may modify anything you’d like without consequence when it comes to the plugin settings.
BTW is it OK to allow other items within Sociable to be checked such as the email and print options or should we just go with the settings that Traffic Getting comes with all ready? The reason I ask is because I want my readers to be able to print and email the information from my site to their medical care teams.
Jeff Johnson: feel free to edit as much as you’d like.
Jeff,
You said,
Jeff Johnson says: I prefer to add an unique number before each “slug” url… this helps avoid duplicate urls on your site.
Wordpress doesn’t do duplicate URLs. If you have this post for example:
mydomain.com/this-is-a-post/
If you try and create another post called “this-is-a-post” wordpress will automatically do this:
mydomain.com/this-is-a-post-2/
Your default permalink structure is not optimal and dilutes your ranking potential for keywords in your post titles.
Jeff Johnson says: According to wp you should avoid using a permalink structure without some sort of modifier… such as my post number solution.
Can’t say my solution is dilutive since it’s only one extra layer and is simply a post number.
And it works great for me and my rankings.
URL’s are a very minor part of the overall ranking.
I can use a completely unrelated domain name and still rank high for a keword phrase; I’ve shown case studies to my clients on that very topic years ago.
My advice is to spend more time working on incoming links and not so much time worrying about a url that may or may not be dilutive because of an extra number that wordpress themselves have historically recommended that we use. even if they’ve changed it recently, rankings are more dependent on content and incoming links.
But we all have our own opinions.
I’d also like to point out that you are changing the default permalink structure without providing any means of a 301 redirect from the old structure. On an established blog your “traffic getting plugin” would be a disaster…
Jeff Johnson: That would depend on your definition of disaster.
I’ve proven to my clients that changing over a site with little traffic and tons of existing content to my TGSP can actually lead to more sales, significantly more sales and more traffic… even with tons of existing incoming links.
And if you aren’t getting any traffic to begin with the new structure will help, so what use are the old links that weren’t brining you traffic to begin with?
However, you do have a good point about the 301 and providing a htaccess file may be a good idea for those that care.
Jeff,
My definition of a disaster is this:
If you have links pointing to your site and pages in the Google/Yahoo/MSN index for example and your Permalink structure is:
mydomain.com/this-is-a-post/
After installing your “traffic getting plugin” my permalink structure becomes:
mydomain.com/%post_id%/this-is-a-post
Every single link I have and every page indexed in google, yahoo, and MSN is now a 404 error.
That is the definition of a disaster.
You might want to have a look at this article:
http://www.techcounter.com/seo/permalink-migration-for-a-wordpress-blog-using-a-301-redirect/
Jeff Johnson says: I’m familar with both the concepts and the solutions.
If you were using the standard domain.com/?p=post# format then changing your permalinks would not results in 404 errors… they would simply be rewritten on the fly.
the 404 error problem could be that you did not update your settings as suggested in the training material.
You need to go into the dashboard to “Settings/Permalinks” and click the “save changes” button.
If the .htaccess file does not allow itself to be rewritten you will need to change the permissions on the .htaccess file (instructions also in the tutorials).
there are also documented problems when upgrading to WP 2.7 that can cause 404 error problems with permalink changes.
Please try the solution I mentioned above, or contact your host for help .
or simply revert to your backup copy of WP which the first thing we suggest before updating your blog… not just with our plugin, but with any update or change… always back up your blog.
Wow. You didn’t read what I said did you?
The point is that your plugin breaks the external links that an existing blog has by changing permalinks without 301 redirects.
For those people who have been blogging for a while, if you just change your permalink structure, you will end up with a lot of broken 404 links.
This plugin is good for people new to blogging that are setting up new blogs but would damage an existing blog by creating countless broken links.
My advice is to spend a buck and get STSE2 from the guys at stompernet.
Jeff Johnson says:
I did read your post and I was trying to help.
But you didn’t seem to read mine.
I have no idea what’s going on with your blog from the cryptic comment you made earlier.
If one of the solutions I metioned in my earlier response didn’t work… just say so.
But it appears you didn’t even try to fix it with my offered solutions.
I stand behind my response and I guarantee you stompernet will too.
if your existing blog is using the default permalink structure and you change it to a custom permalink structure it won’t break.. it rewrites… no 404 errors.
and even if it rewrites without a 404 you may still need a 301.
But even if you tell your server to throw up a 301 your system may throw up an erroneous or improperly formatted response and it won’t do you any good; the engines would just ignore it.
I’ve shared custom .htaccess files with my clients for years so this isn’t new to me.
And there are many other causes of 404 errors when updating wordpress that have nothing to do with my plugin.
But you obviously aren’t looking for my help, you are just insulting me.
You haven’t shown me your site so all I can do is offer general fixes at this point.
For all I know your htaccess file is denying access and that is causing the 404 error.
Or you didn’t hit the “save changes” button that was suggested.
Or your theme has a hack which introduced some extraneous code that is causing the issues in conjuction with one or more plugins.
I was tyring to help but you don’t seem to want it.
All it would take is an htaccess hack, a theme change, or a plugin.
my guys may have written in a 301 or they may not have.
or they forgot to mention it in the documentation.
But that’s why we issue betas… to see what’s going on.
this is a beta and is states such in the emails and on the download page.
we have had thousands and thousands of successful installations without an issue.
But every software can turn up an unforseen issues no matter how much testing you have behind it.
Apple has issues that pop up, windows has issues that pop up, etc.
Here’s my advice: just restore the backup we told you to make before you updated and leave it at that.
Everytime I try to activate a “recommended plugin” firefox closes. …now I am scared. I am not a techno geek so I guess I need to go back and get rid of all your stuff…sorry.
Jeff Johnson: My developer, testers and site builders all use firefox without an issue.
It could be one of your firefox extention that is causing an issue.
Really nothing we can control since any program you use could be causing it.
You could try IE.
Hi,
just downloaded the SEO blog software.
Because I am pretty new to WP, I am wondering:
Is the plugin just set and forget or do I need to take some action, before it starts working within my blog.
Do I need to feed the software with keywords or something else or is just installing it on my P blog enough?
Regards,
Knilles
Jeff Johnson: You’ll need keywords, content, active posting, and a good market.
the plugin takes what you feed your wordpress blog and makes it better, but you still need to feed the wordpress blog
I only get this message:
/public_html/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.
Jeff Johnson: That’s one of the first issues addressed in the installation tutorials
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
DNS not resolved yet, one post, but 5 hits in a couple of hours. Now installing on live site. Just out of interest running Windows 7.
Hello Jeff
Gee Wiz. I just switched all my Hosting from Hostgator to GoDaddy on advice from a programmer because I get unlimited space etc.
What do I ask GoDaddy specifically to do to make it work in their hosting. I will contact them.
How much is the Pro Version to buy. thanks
bob
Jeff Johnson: Actually, hostgator offers unlimited domains, disk space and bandwidth.
And in my experience they are MUCH better than godaddy.
I’m afraid that godaddy is one of the very few hosting services that hasn’t been able to use the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin, at least from what I’ve been told.
The pro version is not for sale at this time… it’s only for my coaching club members.
Here’s a one penny trial offer for hostgator:
http://HostgatorSpecialOffer.com
Hi Again Jeff,
Scratch that last comment – I’m actually at 69% optimized but cant see whether that’s search engine, site or security.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Jeff Johnson: It’s plugin utilization which is a combination of search optimization, anti spam, etc.
Hi Jeff… Can you tell us exactly HOW this plugin generate traffic. Even though it is free, it still woulda been nice if you told us/gave us an idea how it works.
Jeff Johnson: It applies a set of tweaks to the other plugins that it recommends you install.
Those tweaks are designed to increase the general effectiveness of the plugins for most people.
It won’t generate traffic if you don’t provide substantial content, pick the wrong keywords, or pick the wrong markets.
It just helps increase the search engine friendliness of a wordpress blog.
so you can’t just put up a blog and a single post and expect a miracle.
But if you use wordpress and you produce quality content and regular posts in a market with lots of keyword variations you’ll definitely be better off than the standard wordpress installation.
Very nice plug-in. Easy to install! I will be watching my stats in the next few weeks and let you know how everything improves.
Ok Jeff, I managed the firefox problem and got all the recommended installs completed without issue. Now I am running into the same problem as Rob however in that many of the older links I’ve clicked on through search come back with 404 errors. I do not understand the htacess discussion you had above…can you dummy that down?
Jeff Johnson says: You can do it the easy way… simply go into your “Settings/Permalinks” area in the dash board and change the custom permalnk sturcture back to the old one you were using.
Look at the existing links that are showing the 404 and they’ll give you the premalink structure you were using.
Or simply install your backup of your blog and you’ll be right back to where you were without any of the TGSP changes.
We are looking at adding a plugin that will handle the 301 for you automatically, but for now either use it on new blogs, or blogs that have the standard wp permalink structure of domain.com/?p=, or on existing blogs that you don’t care about making the changes on.
I’m not insulting you. I’m just trying to point out that you’re wrong about permalinks and what you’re doing could damage an existing blog. I’m not using your plugin I just installed it to see what makes it tick and found several issues that you should address for your customer’s sake…
Jeff Johnson says: I’m not wrong about permalinks.
I said a 404 could also be caused by other issues and was trying to help you troubleshoot it.
And I said that incoming links don’t matter to everyone if the site isn’t making money or traffic.
But you are right… it could cause issues for existing blogs if they had already changed the permalink structure before installing my plugin and they’d like to keep their incoming links.
I’ll be sure to make it more clear not to use it on existing blogs unless you know what you are doing.
And we are adding a solution to our beta as we speak.
But I appreciate your feedback and that’s how we all make beta software better.
Jeff,
Thanks for your free plugin… I would like to the 19 blog tweaks that are applied..could you let us know
Thanks Jeff. The permalink change was simple and did the trick. All those old links have reverted back (no more 404 errors). It did drop my optimization a tich down to 77.18 % and although I don’t know if that’s decent or not I saw someone reasonably happy with 69 or something, so I guess I am too. I’ll keep testing it and see how it does. Thanks for your help and the product.
Hi Jeff,
I think you overlooked my message from yesterday where I asked for advice now that I have installed your plugin. By the way.. I’ve just found that my back up failed so that’s no longer an option.. so I hope to get this sorted (with your help please).
I have the Exec-php plugin running on my wordpress blog which will help the blog understand when I put in php code.
Before I installed tgsp I was able to put in some php code which allowed me to display ebay auctions on my site.
After I’ve installed tgsp – the original pages showing ebay auctions are still working.. however, I can’t input any more php code in new pages!
When I put the exact code into the page – this is the first 2 lines:
<?php
$epn_campaign_id = “1234567890″;
when I publish the page, it changes the code to:
< ?php
$epn_campaign_id = “1234567890″;
as you can see, this has added a space after the greater than character <
Is this something that has been caused by the plugin as it was ok before.
Either way, can you suggest either a configuration or plugin which would sort this problem?
Thanks.
Simon
Jeff Johnson: The TGSP does not rewrite php code so I doubt it is causing the issue itself.
But anything is possible when dealing with software.
I’m not a php programmer plus my staff is gone for the weekend so I can’t give you new code.
However, you can try disabling all the plugins and see if it fixes the probelm. Then try reactivating each one by themselves and then check to see if that plugin is the issue. If not, reactivate the next and re-test and repeat.
It could also have been caused by an update to your wordpress installation; that plugin you installed yourself could be having compatibility issues with a newer version of wordpress.
Maybe someone else here has an idea to help.
Sorry Jeff.. I now see that the comment didn’t go into moderation as I first thought.. it didn’t get published.. I apologise.. as you didn’t over look it..
I hope you can help with the above post. Thanks.
A tool that harmonizes the plugins in schmaltzando tempo – bravo maestro.
But I will need more rehearsal it seems.
1) After I installed the plugin for SimpleCaptcha the display of the Core Plugins page changed and it appears that SimpleCaptcha refuses to install. Clicking on install for SC opens a screen that says Install Update Now, but when I do I get:
The plugin is at the latest version.
Plugin upgrade Failed
2) The Traffic Getting SEO PluginTM Instructions page shows:
Permalinks cannot be automatically updated! Click here to update your permalinks
After making .htaccess writable, clicking save changes and returning .htaccess to unwritable I still get:
Permalinks cannot be automatically updated! Click here to update your permalinks
3) With these install puzzlements above I can only get Traffic Getting Utilization Meter of 72.65%
What should I do?
Jeff Johnson: I can’t help with the simple capthca other than suggest trying to install again.
If the permalilnks won’t update you’ll need to contact your hosting company and see if they can help with your htacess file.
Utilization will never get above app’x 75% for the free version; the pro version has significantly more plugins, hacks and tweaks that aren’t installed with the free version.
The pro version isn’t for sale but the free traffic getting seo plugin still works great!
Thanks Jeff.
I didn’t upgrade to a newer version of WordPress, all I did was activate tgsp and added a few of the plugins which I hadn’t already got installed.
I’ll try disabling the plugins and go from there, 1 by 1…
In the mean time, as you put, if anyone has any other suggestions.. I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Simon
Everything was working great until I tried to add an image to a post. Firefox crashed every time I tried it. I switched to Chrome browser and added the image without a problem. I wonder if it has to do with one of the recommended plugins that have not been tested with the latest version of WP.
Jeff Johnson: My developers and testers use firefox religously and they say they haven’t had an issue, but each firfox installation is “unique” with personal tweaks so you never know.
i really liked the idea of this plugin but can’t get it to work. if you should develope one that will work with godaddy hosting, i’d love to know about it. i did try to follow the instructions of others above in this comment area but no go.
thanks anyway,
sarah
I just installed your plugin and was ok with everything except the permalink structure…
I reverted back to my old permalink structure as recently google updated it PR and i’ve got a PR 1
Although im not a traffic generating and money making blog… I still care about my PR and permalinks…
Will keep you posted
And yea.. i would still be interested in knowing the tweaks
Is this a joke? You have all these people commenting on how good this plugin is but the given link has nothing in it.
The Orange link at the top right is asking for your email. But when you do give it you come back to the same page. How are am I sure this is not just an email collection hoax? Not impressed so far..
Jeff Johnson says: You shouldn’t come back to the same page.
once you enter your email address it should tell you to check your inbox.
once you confirm your request for the download it send it over to you..
Tens of thousands of people have used that optin form.
I just tested it again for the 100th time.
I click the orange button.
Enter my email address and click “continue”
And this page pops up:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/optinthankyou.php
Why would I not want to give you what I’m offering? That doesn’t do me much good when I’m trying to build a relationship with my clients… which I’ve been doing successfully for 4 years now.
Internet Browsers (IE or Firefox, etc) can be tricky and sometimes do make mistakes.
Please check your inbox for the confirmation message and the download link.
This is so typical of the hype and bulls@*t that internet marketers use. The following is from the email I got from Mike Koenigs. Then I come here and find out, not only can I NOT use GoDaddy, but there are a ton of other issues and hoops to jump through to use this plug-in.
I have 60+ sites under one GoDaddy hosting plan, I’m not about to buy Gator hosting for one plug-in that has this many issues.
T.
(From Mike K.)
I install this in EVERY blog I have.
It’s a free Traffic-Getting SEO Plugin…
All you have to do it plug it into your blog and his software does all the rest.
Check it out.
Don’t worry:
If you already have a WP blog you can simply plug it in and let it work its Traffic-Getting magic.
And if you don’t have a blog… My friend Jeff Johnson shows you how to install a free one in as little as 2 minutes using a secret “push a button” technology that even the newest of newbies could use.
The great thing about Jeff’s brand-new Free Traffic-Getting SEO Plugin is that it is…
It couldn’t be easier to use and it’s…
100% free and Installs in minutes.
I used to like and trust Mike, but
You’re a pack of liars and no longer worthy of that trust.
T.
Jeff Johnson:
Please understand that there is nothing underhanded going on by Mike or myself.
There are no “hoops” to jump through other than requesting the download link
we do that because we spend a fortune building and maintaining our content and software and like to make sure only are clients have access to it.
More importantly, we need to issue updates and make sure you read the installation instructions to help reduce wasted time, both yours and ours.
Our instructions states that godaddy is the only one we are aware of that doesn’t work with our software.
Others require a few minutes worth of preparation.
I buy programs all the time that just won’t work with my personal computer all the time
I purchased a $2,500 copy of CS4 twice, and both times I had to return it becasue it wouldn’t work with my particular machines; for a windows machine and for an apple.
windows crashes all the time.
My kid’s have apple a laptop that crash all the time
Firefox crashes all the time.
That’s the reality of software… nothing works 100% of the time because there are too many variables to consider for each machine and each server.
hostgator is only one of tens of thousands of hosting accounts that you may use the plugin with.
godaddy is the ony one I’ve been told that doesn’t work with the plugin.
What can I say but sorry.
It’s free, it works, and the free training tutorials you’ll receive applies to all types of websites and blogs, not just the TGSP.
So I’m sorry that you use one of the only, if not the only, hosting service that we’ve seen it not work with.
But the tutorials themselves will be worth checking out so please feel free to enjoy those.
Thanks for your free plugin.
I have been waiting patiently for this
I went as far as hitting Orange button, It re-cycled me back to other page so I thohgt I would get it right the first time .I can follow written instructions and I will go over them a couple of times first by seeing position on your site.
This came on what has become my darkest week, so I thank you, it is a boost. I have some real dumb question’s for you also: How do you get all this new downloaded crap out of PC to use? And need help w/ using some of it for traffic etc.. Also info on a splash page I saw! Thanks for not snarling or bad comments. Sometimes I just have to show empathy rather than saying II can hardly walk and take pain RX 24/7. I have alway’s thought I could beat anything, at 73, I Have!
Jeff Johnson : I’m glad it wll worked out
Great piece of software. This saves me tons of time, which all good software should do. Thank you.
Tim:
Same thing here. I thought all was golden and was actually posting on this plugin when I tried to go to add a pic…firefox closed immediately…Multiple times this happened. I’m not sure how to diagnose this given the amount of new plugins etc…that I added. I guess I’ll try another browser, but man that would blow….I really only do FF.
Any other suggestions?
Jeff Johnson: My developes, testers and site builders use firefox exclusively… and don’t have problems.
But software is funny and there’s no way to know what everyone installs in their firefox.
have u seen problems with the new version of internet exployer?
Jeff Johnson: not with the plugin but a few issues with IE 8… but not many.
please send me more info – thankx

Hi Jeff,
I learned about the plugin from marketers I trust and the comments from those in your coaching club is enough endorsement for me (they’re paying to work with you, so they have skin in the game!).
My question is this: Is the free version for unlimited new blog installs or for one domain only?
Jeff Johnson: Thanks! You may install the plugin on an unlimited number of domains.
Still can’t find where on this page I download the plugin.
Regards
Jeff Johnson: You don’t actually download from that page.
On that page it states: “(Download the software by clicking the bright orange button on this blog that says “Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin ™” and join my mailing list… I’ll email you the download instructions for the free software after you do.)”
Please join the mailing list and we’ll send you the download link and the passwords.
THAHK YOUR VERY MUCH, JOSEPH POTIER
I already have a website up and running. I don’t want any downtime with it, but I want to convert it over to wordpress for SEO and security reasons.
Can I set up wordpress in a directory like domain.com/wp/index.html to get it up and working then change it over to my main site like domain.com/index.html ?
If I do this how will that effect the plugin?
Jeff Johnson: You can, but if you move it you’ll need to use 301 redirects to preserve your incoming links once you move the blog (has nothing to do with the pugin…. the issue is moving an existing blog)
Consult with your webmaster or hosting provider.
What about submitting my blogs rss feeds?
is there another plug in I should use for that, or is that something i need to do manually, or do you not think its that important?
Jeff Johnson: We added dozens of rss submission ping services… I don’t submit them by hand… I let the blog just ping services for me.
I can’t wait to try this. If I move my Worpress blog to a different directory, will that affect the software?
Jeff Johnson: The Traffic Getting SEO Plugin won’t care which directory or domain the blog is on.
This is the error message I get when I try to activate the plugin in my existing blog (2.7.1):
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Warning: realpath() [function.realpath]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/lib64/php/modules) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/my_domain.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/my_domain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/seo-blog/core.php on line 2
Jeff Johnson: this looks like a hosting issue. Could be php restrictions on a shared server, or php.ini, or even an ionloader issue.
Please contact your hosting provider and ask them for help.
Here is the ioncube loader details:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
when the google site map is created , do I still need to submit it to Google or does that happen automatically?
Jeff Johnson: you should be all set; no submissions necessary.
Hi Jeff,
Wanted to let you know that I am very impressed with your Traffic Getting SEO Plugin. My WordPress Blog has only been up a couple of months, was getting okay traffic, making a little money ($1500.00 this past month). Before your Plugin had Google Page Rank of “0″, three days after installing my Page Rank went to “1″. Nice start I think and I plan to take it higher.
Also, for those that are interested, I have been using Lunarpages for Hosting for 3 years now and have never had a problem with their services.
Okay, I guess I must have had the Security code wrong. So here goes again. How do I upgrade to the Pro Version?
Jeff Johnson: Actually, the pro version has never been for sale to the general public, only my coaching club clients.
I’m opening up Underground Training Lab 2.0 on June 4th so you’ll have a chance then if you’d like.
blog is only 44% opptomized, only applies first
2 tweaks . Soon as i click traffic getting, message
says( can’t load core.php) and have tried many
things to correct but won’t work..
Jeff Johnson: Here’s what my guys say
“Difficult to say, did they install all of the recommended plugins?
Have they tried it on a different blog. If it can’t load core its not reading the files and the core.php is the main file that shows the plugin, so it could possibly be a conflict of plugins or a PHP memory limit issue.”
Does this plugin only work for WordPress.org because I cannot find the plugin on WordPress.com
Jeff Johnson:
Traffic Getting SEO Plugin is designed to be used on stand alone wordpress blogs.
Jeff,
I installed your plugin in my WP blog and for some reason the “Tweaks” section or button does not show up, as you can see in this picture: http://www.screencast.com/users/superdevo/folders/Jing/media/72b60630-6258-41bd-bd6b-176f3ea35b49
I dont’ know if this has anything to do with the issue but I also had to manually install all the required seo plugins that your Traffic Getting plugin requires because it said there was some kind of API issue……..
Have you seen this before or would you know why I wouldn’t be able to see the “tweaks” section?
Thanks
Jeff Johnson: This sounds silly but… it looks like you just need to scroll down your screen… or so my guys tell me.
Great Plugin. Thanks it works great. Installed it quickly wthout a glitch
What is the catch behind this WP plugin? I am quite sure even though you are giving away this plugin for free, you might might have a catch that has been talked about. Is there any reason why you would spend time and develop a program that makes you millions of Dollars and eventually giving it away for free? I bet you guys are taking us for a ride. If the software will automatically update and upgrade based on your settings and configurations then you guys are taking newbie internet marketers for ride.
I know you guys are genuine Internet Marketers and trained by Dan Thies but i am not sure of this word press plugin.
Jeff Johnson: Wow, I don’t even know where to start
But here we go:
I’ve never been trained by Dan Thies but I certainly have respect for him as an SEO guy and recommend his stuff to my clients.
And my plugin does overwrite setting when you first install it, and they can alll be changed back. It states this quite clearly in the installation page… that’s the SEO part of it… it doesn’t do anything more than make adjustments to the plugin setting. Nothing more.
Here’s the catch and it is written quite clearly on the optin page (the big orange button):
“Why Am I Giving Such High Quality Tools and Training Away For Free?
The reason is quite simple; I make a living by teaching my private coaching clients advanced strategies for generating tons of free traffic from the search engines, and then converting that traffic into leads… and ultimately into paying customers for their business.
And the best way I know of to find new customers is to prove to people… just like you… that I know what I’m talking about and over-deliver on my promises… so I give away high-quality tools and training for free to prove my stuff really works.”
That has literally been printed on my main download page on all my material for the past year, even whe I was giving away other stuff.
And I actually borrowed it from my first download page I created 4 years ago.
There’s nothing to hide, and the software only does what it says it does on the installation page:
Here’s what it says:
“It (Traffic Getting SEO Plugin) basically takes all the guess work out of “which wp plugins do I use, how do I install them, and how to configure them for maximum traffic-getting power?”
It literally tells you which wp plugins I personally use and have tested, helps you install those other wp plugins automatically via the wp 2.7 api… and then pre-configures those wp plugins based on my parameters.
”
I hope that clears it up for you.
Jeff
Not sure what happened but I bought launch tree through your link when it first came out but have not yet recieved the link for your SEO pro software. i noticed you were going to be sending them out till after 28th so I was not too worried earlier . Now I am concerned that it may have been caught in spam filters and gone astray.
Any chance of sending it again.
Jeff Johnson: We are working on on important update to it and need to finish the testing before we release it.
I’m hoping to get it out next week.
Well worth the wait
Ron
The Yellow button for the download send me back to the squeeze page. How do I get the download?
Jeff Johnson: join the list and we’ll send you the download links and passwords.
Hi Jeff,
Hopefully you will recall my post last Friday (above) with regards to php code in wordpress being changed upon publishing a page.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that TGSP has been the cause of it, although it did occur about the time that I installed TGSP – as you’ve said before (even above) software behaves in strange ways (I’m meaning WordPress) – so I’m not pointing any fingers in any direction.
It seems strange to me that WordPress is changing:
<?php
to
< ?php (which now includes a space after the opening <
The code is correct right before I press ‘publish page’ and then after it had published, it has added the space.
I’ve tried uninstalling ALL plugins except exec-php as I need that for the php code to work on a wordpress page but WordPress still adds the space.
I’ve changed theme – and still wordpress adds a space.
I’ve tried googling this problem and can’t find a solution to it..
I realise that this is off track a little as I can’t see it being your TGSP plugin if the only settings which are changed are related to the plugins when they are installed.. however, any help from your team would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Simon
Jeff Johnson: I wish I could help more than I already have but my guys just don’t think its our plugin.. they could be wrong …. but here’ s what we do know that may be causing your issue.
Worpress definitely changes the code in a post after it is published.
which is why people have so many issues with posting videos to worpress.
It will literally hack your javascript code and object code in a post and, by nature, does not allow things to “execute” in a post for security reasons.
In fact, you said ” exec-php as I need that for the php code to work on a wordpress ”
Some Plugins are made to work around this fact and it looks like yours is.
But Traffic Getting SEO Plugin doesn’t do anyting to interfere with posts.
So I’d suggest speaking to the person who gave you that other plugin and see if they can help.
One small update from wp and it coudl have thrown their plugin off and I wouldn’t even know how to fix their plugin.
Hi Jeff,
I’ve just done some more digging and for the record, it actually WAS the TGSP plugin!
I’ve just found that one of the tweaks TGSP makes to the settings is the following:
Under Settings>Writing>Formatting it ticks the box next to: WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically.
This by default should be unticked.
I’ve just tested it by unticking the box and then applying the TGSP tweaks and found that it was ticked again.
I’ve also tested my php page creation with and without the box ticked and found that the space is only added after the opening < when the box is ticked.
I like the rest of the plugin but this one thing has caused me 5 days of head scratching.. I thought you might like to let others know who want to put php into their wordpress posts and pages.
Simon
Jeff Johnson: Great news, thanks for sharing.
They didn’t think about that validate xhtml thing for your situation.
But they feel it is something that should be set for overall browser compatibilty and clean code issues.
So we’ll be sure to remind people that if they have plugins (not ours) that insert php code and such into wp that they need to turn that option off if they run into problems.
I must be missing something on the download of the software; all I am able to do is go in circles, where is the download?
Jeff Johnson:
1. Click the orange button that says “Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin”.
2. Sign up for the mailing list after you click the orange button.
3. Check your inbox and confirm your request to be on my list.
4. Once you confirm your reqeust we’ll email you the passwords and the download link.
I can’t wait to try your seo plugin.I’ll let ya know the results.
Hello Jeff,
Your SEO plugin is just great, but it works nicely on new installations.
I installed it in a blog which I had to move from one hosting to another. Installation and restoring of databases went fine as well the SEO plugin installation.
Now, my problem lies with the use of customized permalinks, because when used recommended permalink structure I get a 404 NOT FOUND error message in all of my blog links.
I haven’t so far found a solution to solve this problem and I have had to use one of the defaults permalink structure from WordPress, which are not SEO friednly.
If you have a suggestion how to come around this problem I’ll highly appreciate it.
Jeff Johnson: we do suggest you only use it on new blogs unless the existing blog uses the standard default permalink structure.
However, try this solution If the 404 links are internal links, and not links coming from outside sites….
After installing TGSP
Go to the blog dashboard
Click on “Settings” then “Permalinks”
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the “save changes” button.
Make sure the changes are saved and written to the .htaccess file.
you may have to set permissions on the htaccess file to permit the changes.
If you need help with the htaccess file please consult with your hosting company.
Thank’s for any help
Very good sounds， but I have no one blog, just have a webstore, is it function?
Jeff Johnson: Everyone one, even webstores, can use my stuff to do better.
hey j,
i was able to get one WP running with the plugin. i set up another WP and got this weird error happen. the page that lists all the plugins (plugins.php) disappeared. well, actually the page exists but it doesn’t have the list of plugins on my WP. the plugins and everything else on the blog is there, it is just the page doens’t show the table of plugins, everything else works.
i tried removing/reinstall the “seo blog” but the plugins.php is missing the table of plugins data.
please advise,
alx
Jeff Johnson: Here’s what my guy says:
“It could be a few things possibly.
Maybe a PHP memory limit on the server needs to be updated.
If its on the same server as the one that worked correctly, I would try to uninstall and reinstall the plugin. (Not just deactivate and activate, but a full removal of the plugin files and reinstall)”
Thanks…the only problem is that I use Blogspot — NOT WordPress! Do you have anything for Blogspot???
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, wordpress is the only choice at this time.
Work also with international languages?
(Deutch , francaise, espanol, eytc..)
Thank
Jeff Johnson says: Only if you feed it those languages (post content in those languages).
I’m using Mac OSX and the download files are in PC zip. Is there any way around this.
Jeff Johnson: Not that I’m aware but I only run windows 64 bit vista on my macs
My guys aren’t in yet… anyone here know the answer?
Hi Jeff,
First off all, WOW, thanks for a brilliant SEO plugin. I am amazed that this version is free. It has saved me so much time. I am very experienced with WP and SEO, however, I still found the plugin really useful and really can’t wait to get my hands on the paid version.
Any ideas when this will be available again? What’s the quickest way to get a copy of the PRO version Jeff?
I have only one question about the plugin: It’s abou the permalink option. I always set my permalinks to /%catergory%/%postname%/ but I noticed your plugin changes that to /%post_id%/%postname%/
Which one is best from an SEO point of view?
I thought using the category name in the URL would make the URL keyword rich or have I overlooked something?
By the way, considering this is free, I am still amazed at the number of people trying to put you down and accuse you of being underhand without actually having any proof or knowing what they are talking about.
Kudos to you Jeff and thanks for an outstanding plugin.
Michael
Jeff Johnson: Underhanded… I tell them it installs other plugins and simply applies my tweaks to them.. they must not read the instructions.
Or they don’t find value in all the other free content I give out along with… can’t please everyone.
Oh well… I”m glad you enjoy it and thanks for the feedback!
Pro version is a bonus for my coaching clients… not for sale at this time.
As for the permalinks.. I have to make certain choices when I set up the pre-configurations… something that is the best for all users.
The category stucture you use is one that I also use quite a bit.
But the issue can be that someone who doesn’t know any better could end up stuffing too many keywords in their url.
SO I use the post id (you need something else in the url to actually speed up the internal processing in WP… and a number is usually not dilutive)
But you can easily switch your structure to the preferred one.
Just keep in mind that if you udpate TSGP it will switch it back… just a simple reversal would again.
We are working on a new version that gives you the option of not applying the permalinkd structure at all.
Thanks man. I’ll get this working asap.
Jeff-
I tried activating the plugin and received the following message:
-Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
What would you suggest I do from here?
Thank you. Mike
Jeff Johnson: Try reinstalling it and make sure you aren’t having an ioncube loader issue with your host.
Hi I have followed the instructions on the go daddy post but no luck…
keep getting this message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/p/4/n/p4n1c/html/wp-config.php:153) in /home/content/p/4/n/p4n1c/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850
Site error: the file /home/content/p/4/n/p4n1c/html/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.
Can someone help me! I am going crazy!
Hi Jeff,
Im pretty new here and just started receiving video tutorials from you which if i can say… for me is very helpful at the stage im at!
I really want to see the replay you sent me recently “Next Generation Mini-Site Strategies v2.0″ but i cant view it!! It says turn my java on or update my flashplayer
Any chance you could send it to me in a different format.. Just that iv’e had no problems with your others, only this one.
Really loking forward to learning from it.
Thanks
Jeff Johnson says: Wow, I wouldn’t even know where to begin to look for that one… and we only offer one format for our videos at this time.
Have you tried another browser?
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the quick response.
Im running internet explorer but not sure which version.. Im also on windows vista (if that helps)
Could you hint as to which browers i should look into?
Really appreciated
Jeff Johnson: We use IE and firefox for all of our stuff so either should do.
Hi Jeff,
You’re providing great support just for free. Unbelievable! No wonder why you have an horde of loyal subscribers.
Anyway, to keep it short. I installed TGSP in an existing blog and I could not solve the changing permalink issue. I tried your recommended (creating a .htaccess) and more different ways. My question is: If I want to use the plugin anyways, what is best, restart the blog from scratch giving up previous posts (I was not getting much traffic anyways) or using the default permalink structure, which is the only one that it seems to work fine.
Thanks
Jeff Johnson: I’d ask you host to figure it out for you first… if they can’t, check out WP.org for answers… and if that doesn’t work… you could swithch over.
But default WP links will work fine and I use them sometimes by accident and just leave them… but a good permalink structure will work better, that’s all.
it’s only one part of the overall SEO picture so it won’t kill you if you use default urls.
My domains and hosting are already paid for and set up with Godaddy. Is it hopeless to install your Plugin on a Godaddy site?
Jeff Johnson: from what I understand godaddy does not work with the plugin.
Hello, Jeff!
Week ago I have added your Free Traffic Getting plugin on my blog
http://bestbooksreview.com . Thank you, I believe that this plugin will be
useful and I will get more traffic, but…
Before my blog had GPR 2, now I was penalized from Google for duplicate
content, meta descriptions and title tags. Problem is very simple- after
tweaking for all my posts was changed adresses, for example
/2009/03/house-of-cards-by-william-d-cohan/ to
/145/house-of-cards-by-william-d-cohan/. Google crawling both posts
and showing duplicate content. Can you to advice how I can to fix this
problem?
Same problem I have with my another blog http://coffecup4me.com and I got
some letters from my friends, for who I recomended this plugin.
Thank you very much and I hope immediate answer.
Sincerely
Stas
Jeff Johnson : Google doesn’t penalize you for duplicate content if they show both results… they simply choose the one they think should rank the highest for the term being serched for.
But if they are showing both I’d say they aren’t considering it duplicate content at all.
I believe that having more pages show up in the results is more importatnt than page rank.
But if you are trying to control pagerank simply start usiing nofollow tags whenever you can in your sidebar, your footer, your header, and your category and archive pages (which the plugin is already set to do).
You can also assign different templates for your theme to different areas of your blog and embed noindex tags on those types of “pages”, or put directives for that in your robots text file in other cases.
Pagerank updates occur all the time and it could just be a coincidence that it has changed with the plugin.
You’ll see example on my blog wher I extensively use nofollow tags in my theme.
But pagerank is not my goal.
My true goal with my site is to have as many results in the engines as I can.
Hope this helps.
I have tried to get your free SEO Free Blog Software but have been unsuccessful many times. I put my e-mail address in the box but do not get the relevant e-mail to enable me to download. I have tried to send a request for a password etc which you send but tha does not arrive either so that method is closed to me. Can you advise? Ed Dale has recommended this and so I would like to get it and also receive your newsletter/blog.
Jeff Johnson: Please sign up for a free gmail or yahoo account and try again.
Sorry, I don’t have another method for deliver at this point so email is the only option.
In your Step 2 above, I do not find Plugins under Appearance. Themes, Widgets, Extras, but when I click on these, I don’t see Plugins (?)
Jeff Johnson: Make sure you have wp 2.7 installed. The plugin section is just under the “appearance” section, not in it; “plugin” has it’s own section.
“hi Jeff
I am just following up on the status of the Pro SEO Traffic Plugin bonus mailout from the Launch Tree purchase I made on your site a few weeks ago. Are you still waiting on the Launch Tree guys to send you yr mailout list as i haven’t received the plugin yet.”
Jeff Johnson: We now have the list but have been updating the software and busy with a launch
But I asked my team to issue it to the LT buyers next week… if the new version is done, you’ll get that. IF not, you’ll receive the one that was available when my bonus offer was made. Either way next week is our target.
many thanks
no worries Jeff !
I’m very keen to purchase your Underground Training Lab 2.0 – but i need to make some sales first from my blogs:)
all the best
Brilliant stuff.. I just installed it on this new blog, and can’t wait to see the results!
Your underground lab is still a bit “high ticket” for me, but it’s definitely #1 on my wish list
Thanks a bunch!
Hi
I notice you dont include the Yahoo answers plug in. Do you not think that it is a good one?
Rich
Jeff Johnson: There’s a ton of good plugins we don’t include, but we do include a “auto content” plugin for the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin Pro version.
But is’t not yahoo answers. I’ve seen people use yahoo answers for their WP, and it looks ok, but I’ve never tested it.
thanks
I really appreciate being able to get responses so quick from an expert. I am new and tend to be overwhelmed
Do you have a list somewhere of other plugins you recommend or is that for the club members?
Jeff Johnson; No list, we just give the members what they need.
I have installed the traffic getting pluggin and there were no errors. But when I tried to install the pluggins, there was some errors, An Unexpected HTTP Error occured during the API request. What should I do now? How to install the pluggins. Kindly reply,
Jeff Johnson:
Here’s what my guys say:
“I’m not too sure what could cause this error. Has he tried a different browser? Can he install the plugins directly through the WordPress plugin install? I would try those methods and work at it from there.”
I tried IE browser also but still the same error is coming and I could not install the pluggins.
The godaddy fix is not a one minute thing. I tried to do it with my tech guru and we still couldn’t figure it out. And gave up after an hour or trying. It’s unfortunate as I was eager to try this out. Let me know if you get one that doesn’t conflict with godaddy.
Thanks,
WC
Jeff Johnson: Actually, godaddy is specifically listed on the installation page as the one hosting account to avoid when using Traffic Getting SEO plugin. Sorry, but they just can’t seem to get it right.
Hey man this is awsome unbelievable you outdone yourslf thank you have a great day !
Hi There,
I have 0.4.4 TGS plugin and I have tried following your instructions for up dating plugin but all get is the following message.
Installing Plugin from file: free-traffic-getting-seo-0.4.8.zip
Unpacking the plugin package
Folder already exists.: seo-blog

I do not understand am I blind to something, am I missing something?
Thanks anyway, Gareth.
Jeff Johnson: there’s an entire tutorial on upgrading from an older version.
Please see the traffic getting seo plugin installation tutorials for more details.
Jeff… this is an awesome package. I’m about to install it on my second blog.
One question, should I:
- set up the new blog,
- set up the theme template
- and then install the SEO Plugin
OR
- set up the new blog,
- install the SEO Plugin
- set up the theme template
Thanks for your help!
Jeff Johnson: Does not matter, as long as you set up the blog first.
Awesome plugin Jeff! Love it. Not a bit of problems installing.
> writer chick: I use to have a godaddy account and spent hours upon hours trying to make things work. Changed to HG and life was made so simple:) Gave me time to concentrate on the important things, like more mula…
Thanks again Jeff,

Thanks, Jeff,Your Traffic Getting software is so amazing. I have had a blog a few years now and always wondered how and which plug-ins to use. I had no clue about SEO on my blog.
In no time I had your program installed and running on a brnad new blog. I look forward to attracting more readers faster now. Best part is–I don’t need to know how to do it on my own and I get the benefits!
Just installed a new blog last night and immediately upgraded to WP 2.8
I cannot find which version of TGS I put up last night. Your new update came today. Not sure what to do about the upgrade.
Jeff Johnson: TGSP has been 2.8 compatible for weeks. If you have 2.8 installed without an issue with TGSP, you are all set.
Hey Jeff,
The All-in-One-Seo plugin showed an update in the blog itself. I clicked the upgrade link and got
Installing Plugin from file: free-traffic-getting-seo-0.4.8.zip
Unpacking the plugin package
Folder already exists.: seo-blog
Installation successful.
Is that all I have to do or is there something else to do? Pls help.
Raghav.
Jeff Johnson: Installation videos and tutorials, including how to updrade, are here:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
I am installing your TGSP 0.4.8 on 2 new blogs today that have Wp 2.8 on them and I am unable to install your “Simple Captcha 1.5.1b” on both. I keep getting an error of “The plugin does not have a valid header”
I am using BlueHost and I corrected the IonCube Loader error in order to install the TGSP. I had to edit the .htaccess file within the directory in the cPanel to have this be installed by adding the letter s after the php5 word in order to successfully install TGSP in case anyone else is having issues with BlueHost.
The only other plugin I installed was the Akismet and nothing else. Please advise.
Also I installed the same TGSP on a new blog Monday with version WP 2.7 and was no problems with any of your items here. I have NOT upgraded the WP inside my cPanel to 2.8 until I know what is going on here.
Please let me know.
Lawrence
Jeff Johnson: Simple capthca may not be 2.8 ready, but we haven’t seen those issues on our blog updgrades.
Try deactivating, uninstalling,and reinstalling simple
Upgrading tutorials are here:

Hi There
Cool pluggin only problem is that it doesnt work with cafinated content. Seems that it clashes somewhere.
Would be nice to use but cant run my blogs without cafinated content
Cheers
Hey Jeff… a big KUDOS to you for sharing all of your knowledge.
I’m a big believer in adding value to others lives… and you my friend definitely are doing that on a BIG level.
Jeff,
When I enter an apostrophe in any of the forms under the “blog details” section of your plugin a forward slash or two or more sometimes is added right before the apostrophe.
Any ideas about what might be causing this?
Even with this little error, my blog is rising in the rankings so that’s cool! If we can get this fixed it’d be perfect!
Thanks for a great plugin!
Robert
Jeff Johnson: Traffic Getting SEO Pluigin does not have a forum plugin so it shouldn’t have anything to do with it unless you are using someone else’s plugin for the forums.
If so, you may want to try “unchecking” the box that forces clean code.
Got to “Settings/Writing” and then look for the box at the top of the page under “formatting” that says “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically ”
Uncheck that box.
Jeff,
Thanks. That didn’t change anything.
I think the error may be within WordPress. Today when someone left comments on my blog the same problem appeared in their comment.
Thanks for your input.
Robert
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but we’ve only seen that issue occassionally with other plugins in the posts themselves. . I’ve never seen it with comments. SImple capthca plugin works with the comments, try disabling that.
Jeff,
Me again…. It seems a little strange. On my WP dashboard I now have Traffic Getting. Under that is Blog Details. When I click on that I can change the blog title, keywords etc. If I place an apostrophe in any of those fields and click save settings a “/” is placed before the apostrophe.
At the bottom of the page it says “Software developed by Profitable Results Marketing, LLC. Anthony Montalbano lead programmer.”
Does that mean it’s the plugin doin it to me?
I’ve eliminated the apostrophes for now….
Sorry to bother.
Thanks.
Robert
Jeff Johnson: thanks for reporting this. It looks like you may have to wait until the next update for a fix.
Here’s what my guy says:
“This was a character recognition save on apostrophes in the title of the blog that saves it with the escape character.
I’ve already updated the plugin for the next release which fixes this issue.”
Hi Jeff,
When upgrading from free version to the one that is in paid version of UTLab, does one have to uninstall the free one, or just overwrite / upgrade?
Thanks for the excellent content (and tools).
Jeff Johnson: Thanks for joining!
First, if you are in the club you have full access to my tech guys in the forums so you should ask your questions there… I just answer simple questions on this blog for non-members… and you paid for the right for exclusive access to my guys in the forums… so put them to good use
Second, but if you’d like to upgrade TGSP to the pro version you’ll find instructions on how to so so here (it’s the same as upgrading the free version to a newer version):
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
I am using a host you don’t mention. I have WordPress now installed, though I am not sure of the version number.
Can you elaborate on the problems – if any – I should expect in installation?
Thanks
Jeff Johnson: The only known issue is the ioncube loader issue with a handful of hosts.
Hi Jeff
I have been using your plugin version 4.5 for a few months and I love it (as we discussed on facebook). Do I need to un-install v4.5 to install v4.8? When I tried to install it WP says that the destination file already exists.
Thanks for a great plugin.
Jeff Johnson: Yes, and there are tutorials here:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Hi Jeff,
First a big thank s for the software. It’s easy to use and does a really great job – not been using it that long but already my traffic is climbing.
Quick warning to anyone who may be considering Hostgator. I tried to join after seeing your recommendation and was accepted, paypal payment collected, then rejected in the space of five minutes.
The only reason given was a security verification and then instructions to pay via bank transfer or Western Union! This is because I live in China at the moment and China does not sit well in Hostgator’s book.
I can understand their reticence but they allow the payment to go through then refund it and nothing on the website states otherwise.
The support desk even had the temerity to allude that I was considering criminal acts…
It’s a real pity that all the good reviews I’ve seen about them have been overshadowed by the poor customer relations of someone at the support desk.
Just thought I’d add a quick ‘heads-up’ – seems good webhosts who understand customer relations are hard to find.
Keep up the good work and wish you tremendous success.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for a fantastic plug-in. Just getting myself set up now. I’ve followed through your instructions.
I’m installing it on a site that is hosted at Hostgator.
I used the Fantastico WordPress installer – it installed wp2.8.
When I get to the part after uploading and installing your plug-in, and click on the Traffic Getting button, it tells me “Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!”.
But according to Fantastico (at HostGator) it is 2.8. And it says “version 2.8″ in the bottom right hand corner of the admin pages.
Do I need to find a 2.7 installation kit and roll it back a version? Or is something else going on?
thanks,
Tim
Jeff Johnson: TGSP has been 2.8 compliant for weeks, long before the official release of wp 2.8.
So it sound as if you have an older copy. Please download TGSP again and try the new version.
I am getting this error message on a brand new install of wordpress 2.8
“Unable to create directory /home/saasy/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
i am not understanding why it is trying to create a saasy directory on home??? that is odd to me??
Is there another way to install this plugin??
Please contact your hosting provider and they should be able to help.
I would like to get rid of the promos for your training club that appear after I install you plugin (sorry) Is that possible or is that part of the deal?
Rich
Jeff Johnson: Part of the deal… I spend thousands on updating the software… I show ads just like google or yahoo or youtube, etc do when I use their services…
I am having the problem and the message is;
“the file /home/login id/public_html/archives/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 don’t know what to do. Is there any way that I can install the ionCube PHP loader without Fantastico as I don’t have fantastico service.
please help..
Jeff Johnson: You don’t need fantastico for ioncube.. but you need ioncube.
Here are the instructions http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Please ask your hosting company for help if you need it.
Hey jeff, your a good guy. I am gonna test this out on some new blogs I am working on, if they work i will recommend some new leads for you to spam away.lol JK.
Has this plugin been configured to work with the widgets on WP 2.8. Alot of people including me have been having some serious issues with wp 2.8 and themes not working together. Anyhow, thanks. See you at the top:)
Jeff Johnson: Traffic Getting SEO Plugin has been 2.8 ready for quite some time. But some of the other plugins are not.
If you are hosting on 1and1, some Ioncube help for you.
I found that I had to put a copy of the custom php.ini into the wp-admin folder for the plugin to run. This is not a problem with the plugin, but with the way the 1and1 servers are configured. Once clearing this hurdle, plugin worked as advertised.
Hey Jeff looks like an amazing plugin and your giving it away free Bonus!!!
I keep getting this mesg when I upload(install) any ideas what it might be
Unable to create directory /hsphere/local/home/escortsma/gim.agdesignpro.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Jeff Johnson: it could be permissions or even some php restrictions. Contact your host and they’ll be able to fix it for you.
Help, I installed the older version of your free traffic getting SEO without any problems on an older blog. However now I’m trying to install the new version on a new WP blog and I can’t. When I click on install plug in and go to the other page it will not show the red band which says install now. I’ve tried another browser with no success. Can you help.
Jeff Johnson: I checked with the guys and they haven’t seen this problem.. it has been tested with 5 browsers.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling it.
ANd we’ll see if we can duplicate the issue on our end so we can fix it.
After installing, I attempted to change the theme as directed. No new themes were loaded as shown in the video (which I think was on an older version) Any suggestion on how I can load the various themes you mention?
Jeff Johnson: You can pretty much use any theme you find on the internet, free or paid.
Just search for “wp theme”.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for responding. I did that twice with the same results. There is a blue band at the top with FYI and that the most I can see and the page will not scroll up.
I’d appreciate any help you could offer.
Teri
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but we just can’t help with this issue since we can’t duplicate it.
The best I can do is recommend trying a few different browsers.
Or you could try adjusting your screen resolution and see if that helps.
I have a blog which has the most updated version of WP. I installed and tried to activate the SEO plugin and got an error. I tried to activate the free SEO plugin and received an error. Site error: It tells me it requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator.
How do I fix this problem? I must tell you, I’m new at all this!
Jeff Johnson: Please ask your hosting service for help with ioncube and follow these instructions:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the suggestion. I adjusted the resolution and I was just able to see the band. Thanks again.
I wrote to you yesterday about your free traffic getting seo plugin installation freezing at the Unpacking the package stage.
Today, I still didn’t see my comment showing up so I decided to Google my problem. It appears that someone else who was having my problem with WordPress plugin installation was able to solve it by increasing the php memory allocation. Unfortunately, I have shared hosting with 1and1.com and they don’t permit me to use more than 20MB for php memory. I also read of a person who was having php memory issues with Hostgator and he said their limit is 64MB.
Do you have any idea how much php memory is required by your plugin? A ballpark minimum might help me confirm that this is my issue. Also, do you know of anyone who has successfully installed your latest WordPress plugin with a 1and1.com shared hosting account?
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but the programmers are off for the holiday weekend so I can’t get a figure for you.
I’d simply ask them to increase your php overhead and see if it helps.
I was able to work around my problem by unzipping your plugin locally and ftping it to my plugins folder.
Upon activation (on a newly installed WP blog) I got a 2.75% on the Traffic Getting Utilization Meter. After all the plugins where installed and activated that jumped to 41.65% and after applying the 40+ blog tweaks: 76.14%.
I have some work to do (like adding content) but I will keep an eye on the traffic and report back here soon.
So far, I am very impressed with your service.
Thanks you very much!
I just installed WP 2.8 … then TGSP 0.4.8. It went very smooth.
Before both upgrades I visited the TG tab of my dashboard and saw my meter at 60% or something really close to it. It said I could apply 34 blog tweaks, so I did … and the meter jumped to 98%. I then applied the WP2.8 and TGSP0.4.8 upgrades and the meter went down to 78% or so. It said I could apply 2 blog tweaks, which I did … and the meter didn’t change.
What’s your sense of why 60% up to 98% and back down to 78% after the upgrades?
Jeff Johnson: The old version of TGSP said 100% but it was never a true 100% since the free version is lacking quite a few of the PRo versions upgrades.
So we simply limited the utilization meter to around 70% for the most recent updates.
Same tweaks, even better, but the meter now simply peaks out in the 70s.
no “Traffic Getting Utilization Meter”
got this at end of page

Jeff johnson: Looks like something your hosting company can fix for you, please contact them for help.
It´s not easy to understand, so many words for coming inside. But what shells.
Hi Jeff,
I am new to WP blogging as such I fully trust your free traffic plugin to the core, since whatever traffic comes to my site, it’ll be entirely through your plugin.
And as an affiliate, I’d like to know if UTL is open now for ppl to join or do we wait for any future date.
Thanks Jeff & God Bless you.
Jeff Johnson: I’m glad you enjoy it.
UTL is currently open for new users so feel free to send them over.
Your links were sent to you when you joined.

Hi Jeff,
I use hostgator and just used their Fantastico automatic WordPress installation feature. It installed version 2.8 of WordPress.
Two of your recommend plugins state their compatiblity only goes up to WordPress version 2.6 for auto tagger and WordPress version 2.7.1 for simple captcha.
Does your Traffic Getting SEO Plugin track these compatibility issues? Should I install these plugins anyway or should I leave off the menu for now?
I guess the other option is to get WordPress version 2.6 installed on my site so that I can use all the plugins.
What’s your take on this?
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson: We don’t control the other plugin compatibilty but we track it so if they make changes, we change ours to work with it.
if they don’t work you should not install them.
Try activating them and see what happens.
I use older version of WP all the time so that’s always an option, but could be a security risk.
Oh Yea!
Installed your SEO plugin on a new WordPress installation and followed all the install instructions on this page.
I still got this message from the all-in-one seo plugin:
“All in One SEO Pack must be configured. Go to the admin page to enable and configure the plugin.”
Your plugin already had me configure the same type of information listed on the admin page mentioned in the quote above.
Is this a common message after installing your SEO plugin? Should I ignore this?
Thanks again.
Jeff Johnson: All in one made changes that are causing the issue. We are addressing it in the new version of TGSP, but not until they complete their update cycle (AIO).
Here’s what my guys suggest:
“Since AIO SEO has changed. They have to now enable the plugin via the AIO SEO admin.
The message they get at the top of the page is clickable. Click it, and change Disable to Enable and save changes. “
I too am having a hard time installing the seo-plugin. I tried doing it myself using the instructions above regarding enabling the IonCube Loader to no avail. I then called my HostMonster Customer Service Tech and he walked me through the same steps and again, same error. So he then had me copy the renamed “php.in” into a couple files on the WordPress blog using my FTP. I copied the renamed “php.in” into wp-admin file, content file and then into the plug-ins file and still have the same error. I am using a brand new 2.8.2 blog. So if anybody could PLEASE help out with this I would be very grateful. My only request in this is that since I am fairly new at all this, if you could please use “Newbie Tech-Talk” so that I can understand and implement any suggestions. Again I would be very grateful for a solution so any suggestions?
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!!

Forguve me if asked already. There are multitudes of free WP Themes and some are pretty nice. Will the SEO Plugin work with any WP Theme?
Jeff Johnson: Yes, pretty much any theme as long as it doesn’t have some “hack” that interferes with Traffic Getting SEO Plugin.
It has been used successfully on thousands of different themes.
Jeff, I am looking forward to using your plug in but I am having difficulty. I am ok all the way to step 9.3. After I have downloaded all of the plugins I am not given the option of activating them. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
kirby
Jeff Johnson : Please try using another browser that allows you to scroll down and see all options, or try deleting and reinstalling from scratch.
Hi Jeff I have no idea what to do i have a word press blog shouldnt it already be 2.7 or higher I had a usernaame that I want to keep never had the blog. i created a new one today . I can not find anything resembling your instructions as far as finding plugins on left of my blog. I have no idea how to do this and have sprent all day just creating the blog. How do I install the plugin if there is no install option when I login to word press. how do I know whaat version I have shouldnt it be the newest since i just created the blog today..
Jeff Johnson: Please try to carefully folllow the instructions that have been used successfully thousands of times, or ask your hosting account for help.
And make sure you have wordpress 2.7 installed (the version number is listed at the top of your dashboard when you log in)
While I generally like your plugin and I have no objection to your use of ads…
I had to deactivate it because it completely replaced my dashboard. Thus, I could not see any of my stats. If there is a way I can see your ads and my stats, let me know. Thanks.
Hello Jeff,
I’ve tried to leave a comment here a couple of times before but for some reason they don’t seem to have gone through. I’m going to blame it on user error.
I was curious as to whether there is a solution to the fact that since we have installed the plugin, our blog(specifically older posts) do not appear in windows explorer. They do however, appear perfectly fine in Firefox,etc. I was finally able to at least get the pictures to display but the blog posts themselves are still MIA. Any suggestions, or help would be greatly welcomed.
Otherwise your plugin has been a great success, I’d certainly recommend it to others.
Thanks in advance!
Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but I’ve never heard of anything like this before, and neither have my guys.
They suggested you try a different theme, but weren’t sure that woudl help.
I intend to start using WordPress for both blogs and websites. Have heard so much about it but hesitate to try as I am pretty comfortable with HTML websites. So this SEO plugin will definitely come in helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Hi all,
just want to remaind you, don’t forget to use this great plugin for only in a new wp blog, nor an existing blog, except you wanna change your all of blog setting include the permalink structure.
thank you.
Jeff Johnson: That doesn’t really apply so much anymore.
Version 2.0 has a 301 redirect feature which re-maps old links to the new structure and let’s the engines know where the new post is, and you can reverse pretty much any of the plugin settings you choose.
But I still don’t recommend changing permalink structures unless you have some idea of what’s going on.
Thanks for the update!
Hi Jeff,
Valeriu is here again. I just upload V2 and will give it a try on my blog name.
Anyway, I’m curious how you determine Traffic Getting Utilization Meter. Right now mine is 76.14% and show that I have only 2.5 post(s) per week instead of 3.
Anyway, if I’ll add more content probably I’ll get to 100%, but don’t know how relevant is this Meter.
What I do not like is how are looking the post pages. Now they are:
http://www.domain.com/679/email-autoresponders-solution/
… but I would love to be:
http://www.domain.com/CATEGORY or keyword/email-autoresponders-solution/
Now, I’m a WP geek, so how can I do this?
Thanks,
Valeriu
PS: man, when you’ll have a regular/permanent affiliate program??
Jeff Johnson says: My affiliate program is always open! Any leads you send are hard coded with your affiliate link and cookied, so when I do reopen the UTL club I send your affiliate link back out to your leads with an offer to join. And my program allows you to send traffic via special affiliate links directly to blog posts that you’d like to share with your list.
So feel free to send traffic all the time
http://JVWithJeffJohnson.com
The club opens up several times a year.
As for the permalink structure:
It is not recommended that you start your permalink structure with /category/ or /tag/ for performance reasons.
I also choose not to do it for most people since it could lead to keyword “stuffing” issues if your domain also contains the keywords.
And ending it with just the /postname/ since that could (could, not always) cause issues.
So I personally use the structure that is produced by the plugin and my results are good.
But if you’d like to change it here is a good discussion of what to do, and what not to do:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
Hi Jeff – thanks for the clarification re the /number/name structuring…I’d wondered why you had it set up like that..now I know!
Best regards,
Dez Futak
http://twitter.com/dezfutak
Thx Jeff,
Just for a second I thought it’s about something else, so I wanted to be sure. Yes, keyword stuffing… it makes sense if you use it:
http://www.Keyword1Keyword2.com/Keyword3 or CAT/Keyword4-other words/
But for me is a brand name domain so I might give it a try, it’s not a money making site. I’ll see it down the road.
I open today the WP admin and see a message about Traffic Getting SEO PluginTM 2.0 – Free Version (2.0.1) .
Now, I upload the previously yesterday… this is a new one??! So do I have to do the same step to use as explained above?
About aff program: I know, but my list likes less expensive programs. Do you consider a book or something else in the future?
Valeriu
Jeff Johnson: It isn’t a major upgrade so you can ignore it.
You can modify the permalinks any way you see fit.
My coaching club is the main item I sell to the IM right now. I also have DVDs but don’t really sell those as standalone products, only as part of my club.
I’ll be releasing other items later this year but the club is also opening again very soon
Just tried downloading the plugin but aparrently the username and password you give in the email does not work.
Any ideas?
mike
Jeff Johnson: If you are cutting and pasting them from the email.. be sure to remove all spaces before and after the words.
thank you jeff….
Absolutely excellent information and very useful for me.
Thank you so much for this plugin, Jeff. I just love it.
Neil
thanks for the quick reply Jeff, I did try removing all of the spaces before and after both
Jeff Johnson: I just tested it again, and it works.
Plus a thousand people or more used it in the first few hours it was sent out without issue.
I resent the new passwords to the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin list this morning.
Please check your inbox for a new message and see if that helps.
Not quite sure about something. You say the plugin doesn’t work well with Godaddy. I use Godaddy, and I have had your plugin installed on numerous blogs. I’ve had no issues at all. So, why the warning?
Jeff Johnson: Because more people have reported issues with godady than any other hosting account.
But it works for you so you should be all set.
Hi Jeff a great product. Thanks for making it free.
I installed it on one blog and it works great. But, I tried to install it on another and I keep getting a message that I need a WordPress 2.7 or higher.
I have installed the latest newly downloaded WordPress 2.8. The first thing I did was install a newly downloaded version of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin 2.0. It should work. Can you suggest anything might be going wrong?
Jeff Johnson: Here’s what my guys have to say about it: “That message should only come up with WordPress pre-2.7. Make sure that you have the newest version of WordPress and the newest version of TGSP 2.0
”
Sorry, but we’ve never seen that message except with pre-2.7 wp installations.
Dear Jeff,
I have just downloaded your SEO plug in and saved it.I do not know the steps to install it on a website and how I have to follow up .
Please send me the instuctions.
Jeff Johnson says: Here are the traffic getting seo plugin tutorials
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the free upgrade! I know I get more traffic with TGSP than without; except that I don’t know how to measure that.
Thanks!
Pretty Lousy way to build your list offer something then they signup to a dead link, But you still got my name on your list, pretty bad
Jeff Johnson: Which link is dead?
I prefer to build my list with happy people, I would never intentionally send out a bad link.
As for being on my list… there’s an unsubscibe link in every email I send out.
Jeff,
Appreciate if you can please elaborate the process in the background how actually it gets the traffic.
I have just downloaded the script and might use this. But before that it might be interesting to note the methodology or the concept of your script.
If possible please elaborate, it will be highly appreciated.
Jeff Johnson: It simply makes your wordpress blog more seo friendly than the standard wordpress blog.
I’ve been using and teaching how to use wordpress to grab traffic and build lists to thousands of students over the last 5 or 6 years.
And I simply apply what I’ve learned from that to the traffic getting seo plugin.
We find exsisting plugins that work, but tweak their setting based on my experience and proven methods.
Not much to it other than that… at least from what I can say in a blog post.
I suggest you simply install it in a sub directory of an existing domain and play around with it.
No harm done, and no cost.
Hi,
Will this work with any php based websites?
Jeff Johnson”: No, only with wordpress based blogs.
You have to love all the great fee traffic getting information that you give us. Keep on sharing your methods that are making money online.
Hello Mr. J. Johnson, where can I purchase the professional version that you use ????? Thank You.
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, not for sale. Only my coaching club members have access to it, and my coaching club is not accepting new members right now.
What we need to know is why it can’t be installed on existing blogs?
Jeff Johnson: If you are using anything but the standard permalink structure of wp, changing the permalinks with traffic getting seo plugin may cause issues.
It’s designed to rewrite them with 301 redirects and such, and it’s very easy to tell if your old links are working correctly, but i recommend you don’t use it on old blogs unless you know a little about 301 redirects and permalinks.
Hello,
Thanks so much for this stuff, but i am having serious problem to install “simple-captcha.1.5.1b” Plugin, if i install it it will give me some error please how can i correct this?.
Jeff Johnson: simple captcha is developed by http://blog.zorex.info/?page_id=2 so they may be able to help.
Could you be more specific about your error?
wow, what am i missing? i created a new wp blog on hostgator using fantastico… but i’ve totally missed the instructions on what to do with the plugin i downloaded from jeff johnsons site… i don’t see where or how to upload it to on my website and how to run the install that runs the plugin
Jeff Johnson: These installation instructions should help:

Jeff Johnson: Being on the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin mailing list will give you a little bit of a head start.
But it is strictly first come, first served
This tool is used to wordpress.com? or it is just to wordpress.org … at wordpress.com you can not add plugins. What should I do?

I have try to download the plugin using the user id and password which I get from the message a month ago. However it appear that the password and user id is out of date.
How to request for a new password and user id other than using another new email address to subscribe to your mailing list again?
Jeff Johnson: I’ve sent them out to my Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin list several times in the last week or two. I change passwords on a regular basis and mail it to that list.

Jeff Johnson – Traffic Getting SEO Plugin is for wordpress only.
Jeff, my new plug in -v2.0- reports that an update is available: v2.01.
There are no instructions on how to effect the update. All the page says to do is download it.
Of course, the page also unhelpfully informs me that I’m already on the mailing list and that I should enter a NEW(??) email address to get the update.
Isn’t there an easier way?? Maybe through the WP-2.8 api??
Frustration level inching up!

Jeff Johnson: The password does not change every minor update. You can still use the ones that were sent out last week.
Search your inbox for keyword “seoblog”.
I’ll talk to my guys about making it easier to handle the upgrade process.

CAPTCHA is a form utility to protect your blog from comment spam by web bots. A CAPTCHA places an images with random text that the user must manually type to submit their blog comment. This utility verifies the commenter is human, cutting down the potential for comment spam.
Optional Plugins
Jeff Johnson: Their simple captcha plugin was casuing the issue. But the new version of TGSP should simply ignore this warning and not show, or so my guys say.
I’m having the same problem as #280 above. Installed TG plugin on new 2.8.4 blog.
Everything’s fine until I active the plugin. Once I did, in my dashboard everything is blank except for Underground link.
Is there a fix for this? Great plugin, can’t do w/o it!

Jeff Johnson: Here’s what my guys say,hope it helps:
“I think the error this guy is having is the same as the last one I sent about PHP5. I looked at his site and can see its on a 1and1 server. I’ve had problems in the past with my 1and1 server and upgrading to the latest version of WordPress. I tried everything from removing the plugins to changing themes and after an hour or so with customer support, it appears that upgrading to PHP5 fixes this issue because of the way WordPress executes certain functions that are semi-restricted with PHP4 on 1and1 web hosts. I know it’s kind of a rare case, but since knowing this I’ve fixed about 5 sites of mine doing the PHP5 upgrade and it instantly fixed all my issues (500 internal server errors and blanked screens).”
How come my questions keep getting deleted?
Is my name or email blacklisted?
I tried posting a few days ago and again a few minutes ago, but nothing, what’s the deal? I actually have legitimate questions, unlike some of bone-heads(you know who you are).
B)>
Jeff Johnson: Nothing I’m doing is causing it.
Thanks jeff,
looking forward to use this great software.
Jeff:
Ref my #308 above, OK, I get the password deal. Shouldn’t have mentioned it, ’cause it’s NOT my main question:
Do I have to completely remove my existing v2.0 plug in and then reinstall the new v2.0.1 or NOT??? This is the question, since I have this big red/pink nag header in my dashboard.
Jeff Johnson: I believe you can close the version update reminder. I know in the newest version you can.
As for the upgrade: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-upgrade/
Thanks Jeff! I can’t wait to use your great plugin. Loved your presentation at Live 8! Thanks for all the great content.
Hi Jeff
That’s amazing man.I didnt think it was for wordpress!
thanks a lot
it is a great software, I installed it on several blogs. But an increase of traffic due to the software I was not able to see that clear.
The problem is, that I have not only installed this software, but also done other traffic getting steps.
Why do I use it than, easy, it might work in the long run or it might just help over all. On top it is free an it works with other software together nice. It does not take any extra time .
Only thing is, if I would really be able to know what traffic comes from this software it would be easier and I might even upgrade to the full version.
But for all who do not have it, use it. Use the free version.
i am so desperate to know if we can apply this to other sites like weebly?
Jeff Johnson: sorry, wordpress stand alone blogs only.
But the training you receive on the list applies to just about any site or page.
Hey Jeff,
I was successful at installing the ion cube loader with godaddy.com It took about a half hour when I finally put all of the pieces of the puzzle together.
I upgraded to php5 and then loaded the ioncube files one simple php script (I’m not a programmer) and shabamo…
i’m sure its wonderful
just that it does not work
as it wont even install
Thanks Jeff for your recomended plugin to get a ton of traffic. I will try to my blog and I hope this plugin really make a ton of traffic to my blog.
Jeff,
I was looking for support but could not find a link.
I just installed your new version of your plugin.
You have a slight problem, or at least it was a problem for me.
When you are installing the individual plugins adn you click install. The word press plugin page has a red install button on the left top, but it was not displaying on my page and the scroll bar was all the way to the top, so I could not scroll the page down.
I almost gave up, but then I had to shut off all of my toolbars, even my naviagation bar, and even then I could only see a small sliver of the red button… but fortunately enough to click on it.
I am sure many people give up… because I am very experienced… and I almost gave up.
Also, in case you are not aware, your blog response time in typing and moving your scroll bar is very very very slow…
Jeff Johnson: that actually sounds like a browser issue, so please try another brower. Or it’s a display resolution issue, try changing the resolution of your display.
As for my blog speed…. if you are on the page with the new video… it will be slow becasue it’s a huge file.
It’s pretty much the only live domain on something like a 8 core server with 8gb ram and dual drives with a 100mb uplink…
And I have the site being served up via a cache to help improve speed.
So believe me… I care about the speed but I can only do so much about it
“When you are installing the individual plugins adn you click install. The word press plugin page has a red install button on the left top, but it was not displaying on my page and the scroll bar was all the way to the top, so I could not scroll the page down.”
I had the same problem using Firefox. I switched to IE and saw the red install buttons. Would have been an easy install otherwise.
This is a great plugin for both newbies and old pros alike. I wrote a quick blog about how everyone should get this plugin. Thanks Jeff!
Jeff Johnson: Thanks, I appreciate the mention!
i can’t login.. can resend U and P?
hi,
i recently installed 2.o2 upgrade and now i have a problem when i try to access my wp-admin. i keep getting kicked out because of the the plugin with this error following:
“Sorry, we couldn’t find http://trafficgettingseoplugin.net/www/delivery/afr.php%3Fn. Here are some related websites: ”
what’s causing this?
please advise,
Jeff Johnson: Looks to me like you aren’t trying to login to your own admin panel.
Try yourdomain.com/wp-admin
These instructions may help http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
alex
I am getting this message
trafficgettingseoplugin.net
is not loading.
Powered by openDNS
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, We are migrating some functions to a new server and the DNS appears to causing a few issues.
We are working on it.
I am really new at all the blogging. I have not learned all of what to and not to do, so if I follow all you instructions will this help a person w/a blog? My blog is just there, I would love to learn more even if it changed my blog.
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but I don’t really teach “how to blog” here. I just tell you how to get more traffic to your blog, and help convert that traffic into sales. My coaching club offers more “how to” info.
Hi Jeff,
I was a little confuse, I used to use Michael Torbert All-In-One-SEO plugin, my questions are: -
1. What is the difference between yours and Michael Torbert?
2. I notice some installation steps 9.2 screen shot in your blog stated Michael Torbert plugin version 1.4.7.1, wonder why you are showing Michael stuff instead of your own one?
Hope to hear from you soon
Warmest Regards,
Andrio
Jeff Johnson: The free version of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin is a “master plugin” that preconfigures 6 of the best, most popular plugins out there that we use in our own business, inluding the all in one which is a great plugin. The others are listed on the installation page.
TGSP simply makes it easier to install all of them at once, and offers other tweaks.
We test them in our own business, we make sure they add value, and we offer advice as to which settings work best in my experience.
I’m not in the plugin business to make money by selling them, I’m in the “I use plugins so I can make money with them in my business” business.. I teach people how to get more traffic, more leads and more money… and wp plugins can definitely help my clients with that goal
I can’t find a bright orange button for download on this page
Jeff Johnson: It’s on every page of the blog and in every post. It says “Free Traffic Getting SEO… click here”.
Jeff,
My blog is only about a month old but I do not have the plug in option. I tried to read through the tutorial but honestly I got confused.
I was expecting a simple install and it seems at first glance to only be suitable for those who are more tech savvy then I am.
Is there a simple way to go about this?
Jeff Johnson: It’s about as simple as it gets, really. It may look overwhelming but the whole process only takes a few minutes.
And there are video tutorials as well.
Thanks for the great software. Now all I need to do is get my webhost and install WordPress. I am getting very excited about the possbilities…
Thanks Jeff
Jeff Johnson: try this 2 minute install trick:
install wordpress with fantastico
I hope you can help me make some money .where I can help you
Thank You
Charles
In reference to the simple captcha problem hit by Lawrence – comment permalink here: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/#comment-8981
I have just upgraded to 2.8 (mea culpa – the latest WP vulnerability ‘forced’ me so I thought I’d try your plugins Jeff), anyway the issue I found is when you install, the zip file extracts itself one level too deep.
So in the plugins directory, the structure is:
plugins/simple-captcha/simpleCAPTCHA whereas the files are looking for the directory structure plugins/simpleCAPTCHA
Solution:
Move the folder simpleCAPTCHA backup one level and the plugin installs correctly.

Tom
To avoid problems with Google, etc.:
When I start putting up a lot of landing pages and blogs, how do you recommend I manage hosting them?
How many sites can I put up with an individual hosting company?
What’s the hosting relationship between setting up blogs pointing to websites?
Is there a way to configure IPs and DNSs to avoid visible relationships between the sites and between the owner and the sites?
Jeff Johnson: The answers to your questions are way to detailed to address in a blog comment. Suffice it to say that the more diverse your servers and hosting accounts are, the better from an seo standpoint
There is no “hard and fast” rule for how many sites you can have on one server. It has to do with how much cross linking you do between them, and how many domains your account can support from a hardware standpoint..
I just can not believe so many people can make negative comments about something that you are not even charging for. It floors me that you can be giving away something of such value, and yet still some marketing wanna-be’s can find fault with it. How many times do you have to tell them if they dont like it, DONT USE IT? I don’t want to sound jaded here, I just want to express my appreciation, and tell the snipers to get a life. Taking the time to complain about something that was GIVEN to you at no charge? I sure would be interested in purchasing the pro version, if you ever see fit to release that.
Jeff Johnson: Thanks for the positive feedback!
THANKS! I recently transferred this blog over to hostgator and successfully installed this plugin – can’t wait to see what it does! I have another blog on godaddy that I need to move over too.
Love your model of giving so much great free content – it’s really helpful to a newbie like myself and someday, when I’m rich and famous, I’ll come back to buy.
awesome stuff dood. I am new at this and am like a sponge.Thanks for caring and sharing
Thanks for the great info. I’m going to implement this on my current venture!
After 30 minutes i still couldn’t download SEO,it keeps redirect you to different pages and that is not good,my last stop here.
Hi Jeff
I’m having problems installing the plug-in. After I click on “install plugin” in my WP blog, I can’t find the button that says “install now”. Tried on a few different PCs and I still have the same problem. Pls advise. Thanks.
Jeff Johnson: Please adjust your screen resolution in your control panel, or try using a different browser.
im missing out on this because im on bloggger thats just sad!
I can’t believe the abuse you are taking just to give something to people for FREE….. I know, you’re getting paid but, I just hope I have your cool when I reach your level online. Your marketing is pretty darn good but your products are the bomb, more importantly, you seem like a really good guy. Hope to meet you sometime to pick your mind in person, take care. Kell
Jeff Johnson says: Thanks for the positive feedback!
A person has two choices in life.. they can either spend their emotional enegry on negative thoughts, or the can invest their emotional energy in positive thoughts and actions.
The most successful people I know choose to invest their time and energy on positive things.
It’s a choice, and I’ve made mine…. positive thoughts make my life a much more enjoyable experience.. and I try to share that philosophy with my children every single day
Awesome stuff. I’ve seen about 35% increase in traffic since installation.
Thanks Jeff.
Hy!
I’ve sign in for the Traffic Getting SEO plugin, I confirm I get the next mail with the links for training and download but when I hit download it tells me unauthorised access. You need to have the latest password… (and so on). Where do I submit my pass and username.
Thanks!
Jeff Johnson: Just make sure you are removing all spaces from before and after the username and password when you cut and past it from the email (the one with the download link in it).
The thing is that I don’t have WHERE to insert my user and pass delivered with the email. When I click the download link I’m directed to a page that says:
Free Traffic-Getting SEO Plugin
Unauthorized Access
(banner)
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the prompt reply. Know you’re busy…
Jeff Johnson: I just tested the link in the first email and it works for me in IE, as do the passwords.
Is this the page you are going to:
Traffic Getting SEO Plugin Download
I passed your info along to my guys and I’ll let you know if we find something else.
I don’t want to get over the edge, bu is there any chance of sending me a different link to download the plugin, if there’s no solution to this issue?
Jeff Johnson: I’m not aware of any major issues with downloading the plugin.
Sorry, but i’ve sent you (or posted) the only two links we have for downloading the plugin.
Have you tried a different browser?
Jeff,
Got your blog link from Frank Kern and love your video on how to be a super affiliate. I’m looking forward to installing this plugin! Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge!
~Mia
worked. with my laptop.
Hi Jeff thanks for this awesome plugins. You’re right. Its not because you didnt create these plugins. It’s about you doing all the work for us doing research and configuring this stuff.
So thanks a bunch.
PS: You send too much emails per day. Lol! I only have so much time to open them. It gets really confusing. I guess that’s probably why many people can’t find the download link to the plug-in.
Well just search for Jeff’s email that has a subject: your free traffic getting seo blog software and training tutorials from Jeff Johnson
Just scroll all the way down to the link.
Don’t get the installation instructions link confuse you with the plug-in link.
Best wishes,
Jayson Parker
Jeff Johhson:
Jeff,
I’m getting a Fatal Error when trying to activate the plugin. I had it installed previously and it suddenly crapped out on me when I made my last blog post. lol
So at first my site would only show this fatal error and nothing else.
I had to delete the plugin out of the folder through my ftp site and then my site was visible again.
I then tried to come back here and download a new file (figuring maybe the last one was corrupt) and now when I try to activate the plugin I see the fatal error again. (Only this time my site is visible, which is a good thing. lol)
Anyway, wordpress is not allowing me to install it because of this error. Not sure if its something on my end or something with the plugin. I know you’re in the middle of a launch right now, (good luck by the way) however when you get a chance, could you pass some suggestions my way on what I should do?
Here is the error:
Site error: the file /home2/******/public_html/*******/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.
Jeff Johnson: the ioncube loader issue is a server related isssue and is discussed in our installation tutorials.
Please contact your hosting company for help after reviewing these tutorials.:

Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but I have nothing to do with the time it takes you to get your plugin, it’s all automated via email.
Please check your inbox and any filters you may have since it should have arrived in mintues, if not seconds.
Hi,Jeff
I am always looking out for your softwares ,because they have a tremendous value.
Cheers everyone
Hi Jeff,
Thanks,this installation was a breeze,lets get to work now and await the results.
Didn’t do the trick for me. Oh well, thanks anyway.
Looks very good.
Now Jeff, a question from a newbie in the blog world:
how does your software compare to WordPress Direct? Does it do something beyond what WPD does?
Jeff Johnson says: I really don’t know since wordpress direct is a paid service and mine is free… and it works. Traffic Getting SEO Pluigin is pretty much all we use for wordpress .
Jeff,
You are the man! I’m back in business now baby! lol
I followed your instructions regarding the IonCuber and I’m good to go now. Very easy to do. Sorry I completely missed it. lol
Maybe I missed something, but I never saw where to get the paid version of this plugin….
Jeff Johnson: The professional traffic getting seo plugin is only available to members of my coaching club.
Got it! Thank you Jeff.
2 blogs + 7 post + awesome keywords
+affiliate links + 5 days + 65 visits to blog
= 18 clicks on affiliate links
opt-ins to be continued…
great free tool,i’m definitely getting the paid version. and i’m definitly joining your coaching club.
Thanks Jeff
Jeff, I am very green on this stuff. Here is what happened. I downloaded but it converted to an unzipped file, so I compressed–now titled SEO Blog. Uploaded ok, but couldn’t activate because it said no header. Changed preferences to leave it a zip file and downloaded again. Uploaded again, but now it says it already has that file. Do I need to get rid of the first file? If so, how?
Thanks!!!!!
Jeff Johnson:
These tutorials should help; http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Jeff, this has been a great plugin, thank you! I have been running the plugin on my blog for a while now. While doing other things today I clicked on the traffic getting tab and was shocked to get an error message saying “Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!” The problem is that I am currently running WordPress v2.8.4. The version of the plugin is 0.4.5. Any suggestions? Thanks
Jeff Johnson: Our guess is you are using the old version of TGSp.
There have been at least 4 or 5 updatess since them.
You must be on my traffic getting seo plugin mailing list to receie the upates and new passwords.
use your desktop search feature to find the keyword “seoblog” in an email I just sent out a few weeks ago.
Once you find that email, you’ll find the new password and download link.
If you can’t find them please rejoin the TGSP list and they’ll be sent to you again.
Hi Jeff,
I don’t fully understand what the software will do or can do to my blogs, but I am glad to try.
Where do I start to learn about your goodstuff?
Thanks for everything.
Jeff Johnson: There are over 70 or so videos linked to from the blog, and even more exclusive stuff in the email sequence I send you.
Enjoy!
Hi Jeff,
I´ve just discovered online marketing and it has caught my attention. Also, I have no knowledge of html and all the stuff together to make this work.
Simply put, I know nada when it comes to this entire business.
Can you guarantee me I can do this too and be successful?
Another thing: I can barely afford $97 each time.
Thanks,
Roger
Jeff Johnson: Nobody can guarantee that’ll you’ll succeed except yourself. That applies to just about everything in life.
Hey!
I really want to install the free traffic getting SEO plugin to my blog but my blog already exists,and I don’t want to loose any of the data or mess up my blog.I’m not going to be making another blog for a while,because then I would have to buy the domain name,and I can’t afford that right now.So can someone please help me and tell me how I would go about my situation.I really want to install this plugin,but I’m not an expert and I can’t save my blog,b/c I don’t know how to,and I don’t want to loose my blog.Whenever I try to install it to my wordpress blog there isn’t a plugin section,but for my wordpressdirect blog that has an admin acount for wordpress there is a plugin section.I tried adding my wordpress blog to my wordpress direct acount,but it didn’t work.
Please help me.
Thank You.
Jeff Johnson: It won’t work on wordpress.com blogs, I don’t know about wordpress direct (I’ve been told it works).
Here are some tutorials that may help:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Never mind,I know what I did wrong now.
I have to install the SEO plugin into my wordpress blog and then intall the seo traffic plugin.
Thanx anyways.
Wait,do I install the SEO blog plugin to my wordpress blog?
Can I continue to use the only wire button to my blogs along with SEO plugin.
Jeff Johnson: I really don’t know since I don’t use only wire.Testing it would be the only way to know for sure.
Jeff,
Thank you so much for such a great plugin for free! I just want to check if all is well because I use WP-SpamFree so I don’t have to deal with CAPTCHA and the layered protection from spam.
May you be richly blessed for all you do.
Al
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but I have never tested it so I really can’t say.
You are doing a great job.
Keep it up.
Good of you.
Jeff,
I have just set up my wp blog and intend to install your plug in software.
I am going to download it now.
Thank You.
I have install FTGP on all my blogs and already seeing results from one of them on Google Analytics and Adsense.
Thanks a lot, Jeff!
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the plugin! I installed it and it worked fine, however, I want to use an alternative plugin to Sociable, called Sociofluid. When I deactivated Sociable and activated Sociofluid, no bookmarking icons showed up. Generally speaking is it possible to do this switch? if so i’ll try again or try another alternative.
Thanks!
Jeff Johnson: generally speaking you may use any alternative plugin and deactivate any of the installed plugins. Sounds like a different issue altogether.
Thanks for this great plugin, can see lots of time and effort went into this development. Kudos to you Jeff
To the haters and whiners out there: Nobody is asking you to use this. If FREE isn’t good enough for you, go someplace else.
/rant
Jeff Johnson: Amen!
Jeff:
I came across this post regarding the ‘All in One SEO plugin’.
The default setting is for the the title of all our blog posts and blog pages to show up which can be read as duplicate content on our site.
It was suggested to remove the “%blog title%” from the Post, Page, Category, Archive, Tag and Search Title Formats in All In One SEO plugin.
It makes sense to me so I am wondering:
1) In your opinion does this sound like something to be of a concern?
2) Would it affect your plugin if those elements are removed as suggested?
(I am so impressed you follow all these posts and I appreciate your answer to my previous question.)
Jeff Johnson: Duplicate content is not a big deal on your own site, google picks the page they feel is the “right” one. but you can easily help influence that by adding no index, tags, or putting links on the “duplicate” pages that point to the “real’ page.
I prefer as many pages as possible in google.
But everyone has their own preference and opinion, there is no one right answer in my opinion
Jeff, I’ve been using the plugin now for several months. It is outstanding. Some sites, especially the new sites, enjoy tremendous traffic. Pretty cool.
A couple things-
1) There is no issue using the plugin on GoDaddy hosting (regardles of other reports). I was able to upload the IONCube extension with my FTP client, and it works just fine. I just had to updated the .ini file with the values they explain to you at the IONCube site for GoDaddy installs.
(By the way, I have never had any of the horror stories happen to me that so many ex-GoDaddy users come up with – either I’m lucky, GoDaddy has cleaned up some issues, or the ex-users were just trying to sell hosting. I like GoDaddy hosting because it’s been working fine for me).
2) I have often wondered about the permalink settings in the plugin. If you use the “WP No Category Base” plugin to remove the /category from urls, and set the permalink structure as /%category%/%postname%/ you get a nice siloing effect – like
domain.com/widgets
domain.com/widgets/best-green-widget
and so on. I understand the idea behind the post number, but wouldn’t the above structure improve indexing and keyword optimized urls considerably (especially from a sitemap). WordPress already has built-in functionality to prevent duplicate post/page names – the only real issue you might have is if a category name duplicated a post/page.
3) Some of the other commentors mention 100% optimization. How can that be? Even with all of the exact recommended settings for the plugin the best I’ve managed to attain is 80%. Why is that?
Jeff Johnson: You may use any permalink structure you’d like. Mine is the safe bet that is also seo friendly, but it’s not the only solution.
As for “100%”; it’s not optmization, it’s utilization of the plugin’s power; they are using the professional version of traffic getting seo plugin.
Thanks for the reply Jeff.
Could I ask one favor then? Would it be possible to remove permalinks from the “core” settings group in the dropdown, and perhaps make it a “lone” option? Personally, I think permalinks will be the setting that folks will differ over.
Jeff Johnson: YOu can set your permalinks to whatever you’d like, or even diable that option.
Uh, yeah, I understand that. But when you apply your plugins tweaks you have to go back and undo the permalink tweak. I’ve had to redo it a number of times now when updating other plugins since apparently they “undo” your settings and need to be re-tweaked. If your code wasn’t cloaked I would just go in and disable the permalink code myself, but since it’s cloaked I have to ask you the favor.
ughh.. i dont understang your leangguage !!! i need a translator im from indonesia
Superb !!
What a great work.
I just can’t belive.
The GoogleBot has already visited my blog 3 times within 24 hours of applying this plugin !!!!!!
Wonderful.
Thansks Very much
Superb !!
What a great Plugin you have built.
I can’t belive my eyes.
The GoogleBot already has crwled through my blog 3 times wihin 24 hrs.
Wonderful.
Thanks Very very much for this great plugin.
Great step by step instructions I going be setting up a network of blogs and love to use this plugin.
Hi Jeff.
I’m sorry if I asked this before but I my mind is playing tricks one me
I have the professional version the TG-SEO plugin (as a bonus) but wanted to ask, if I wanted to sell my blog, do I have to disable the plugin, or somehow get rid of it?Or replace it with the free one?
Just wondered if there would be issues…
Thanks
Jan
Jeff Johnson: You can’t sell the software itself but selling a blog that has it installed is fine.
Thanks Jeff, thats great to know! I did tell you I was talking about the professional version didnt I? Just in case…still ok?
But also (sorry for my ignorance) if the blog has TG-SEo plugin installedl, then people have it anyway dont they? If I sold a blog, dont I automatically sell the installed plugins with it?
Jan
Jeff Johnson: Yes, the pro version applies. Yes, they coudl buy the blog with the plugins in it, but I could deactivate a program remotely if I wanted to (and I do for several of mine), or I could require that you deactivate it yourself before selling the blog. But I don’t.
Hi Jeff. I have been using the SEO 2.0 the free version in 3 of my new blogs. It was working fine and is still working great in a new blog. But on the first 2 I am having a problem All the times I try to get inside my admin area or even to see the URL of the blog I have this reading:
The file /home/victor/public_html/paginasweb/wp-content/plugins/seo-blog/core.php is corrupted.
What can I do?
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson: Please ask your hosting company for help since they can actually look at what’s going in your hosting account, or try reinstalling following the directions in the tutorials section: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Thanks again.
Where is the link for the pro version of the SEO 2.0 Plugin ?
I know the free version works, now I want the whole enchilada.
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but the Pro version isn’t currently available to the general public.
Hi – thanks for the plugin!
I may be just being dumb but I can’t work out how to change my meta description tag. I assume the All in one SEO plugin lets me do this but not sure how. Have put the text I want in the “Home Description” section of the plugin but this does not seem to make any difference – google still displays a just a section of text taken from the sites content under my URL .
Do I need to change some other setting to control this – it I edit my themes code will I create issues with the plugins? If anyone could help with this I would appreachiate it a lot.

Jeff Johnson: Actually, it isn’t the plugin that controls what google displays… google decides what shows up.
Here’s an article that may help
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/09/improve-snippets-with-meta-description.html
Hi! I got this error when wordpress tried to install the plugin:
Unable to create directory /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/2009/10. Is its parent
directory writable by the server?
What should I do?
Jeff Johnson: Please check out our traffic getting seo plugin tutorials here: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
If you can’t find the answer there your hosting company should be able to help.
Hi Jeff,
I installed the Free version in several blogs and I would like to get the professional version. I have been looking for the link to purchase the Pro version but could not find it. Somewhere it says $97? Can you point me to the right direction?
Adrian
Jeff Johnson: If you join my coaching club you’ll receive a copy for free, that’s the only way to get it right now.

Jeff,
I have previously set up the Traffic Getting SEO Software on 3 blogs. I tried to set up the software on this blog and ran into a problem.
Uploaded, installed and activated plugin. Upone trying to install any additional plugin (All in 1 SEO Pack, Akismet, etc) I get the following error message. “An unexpected HTTP Error occured during the API Request. Try Again”.
Jeff Johnson: It could be an automatic updating issue with the other plugins, or even a firewall issue on the server blocking access.
Your hosting provider may be able to help.

Hi Jeff,
I was introduced to your traffic-getting plugin through Wayne Sharer. I managed to download the plugin for traffic getting, but despite following Wayne’s instructions, and also checked your instructions, but cannot get it to install in wordpress. I have double checked my version of wordpress, and it is the latest one.
Do you have any other suggestions to help to get the plugin installed.
I have a time limit to complete the lessons that Wayne has given me, and I am just stuck on this proceedure.
Looking forward to your help
Bronwyn
Jeff Johnson: Please try follwing our tutorials, or ask your hosting company to take a look at it for you:

Jeff,
I really appreciate the FIX for the error message when trying to install the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin. It appears in some cases, the WP default time (5sec) for a plugin to install is not sufficient for the server to respond. Changed response time to 30 sec, problem solved.
First time I have had the problem and thanks for the fix. Regards, Ed
wordpress is showing failure notice and asking “Are you sure you want to do it?” but there is no option to say yes. The only option is try again and I tried it so many times. Could you please help me !!!!!!
Jeff Johnson: You didn’t provide enough information for me to help solve the issue.
The fastest and easiest way to find solutions for WP is to ask your hosting company for help. They’ll have more information about your installation then I do and should be able fix for you.
How can the response time of wordpress be changed? please help
Jeff Johnson: you may be able to find the answer here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/227430
Amazing and great stuff. Thanks Jeff this plugin very help me get more traffic. Great job!
When I try to install I keep getting this error message:
The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\Sites\Single50\roy83000\webroot\wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11.
Jeff Johnson: Please consult with your hosting provider for help with the correct path, etc.
amazing bit of software – it going to make my life so much easier.

Thanks Jeff,
You should have been a teacher!!

Hey jeff i just installed the software but i had already posted all my content on and done everything should i now click the xml sitemap and tell google
cheers
Jeff Johnson: Sure, it wouldn’t hurt.
Hi Jeff!
Does this plugin allows to create blogs auto-filled with content based on Yahoo pipes or other RSS? I cannot find that “syndication” option that allows to insert Yahoo pipes RSS urls (((
Really need that to create some auto-filled support blogs,
THanks!
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but only the Professional version of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin supports those options. It’s not currently for sale.
Thanks for thee great plugin. One question, does it workk well with SEO smart Link and bStat plugin?
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but I’ve never tested it with those wp plugins
I am unable to download the software because I just do not know where tofind it. I have beengiven my username and password BUT then nothing else happened whenI try to download theplugin. Can anyone help
thanks and regards
Jeff Johnson: I’m not sure what you mean my “nothing happens”… after you click the download link that’s in the same email with the username and password a pop-up box should appear asking you for your password and username.
Perhaps trying a different browser may help.
Wow! This is absolutely awsome! Thanks for the software and I really appreciate it
I changed the browser to firefox nd managed to download the software.
Thanks Jeff
Certainly pays to read instructions first…Great plugin for folks who don’t know much about running the back-end of WP. Many advanced WP users can benefit too by this saving time setting up new blogs. I already have all of these plug-ins installed and SEO tweaks implemented so I am not installing it on my blogs but look forward trying it out in future ones.
Easy to install…and completely free…
This could not have come at a better time. I just registered 6 ne wdomains last night and wasn in the process of setting up the wordpress blogs when I got this free plugin – I love wordpress and I love free
jeff,I installed your plug-in on wordpress ver.2.8 ,but when i try to activate it this shows
Site error: the file /mnt/glusterfs/apache/hosting-dir/39225/51268/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
can u help me.
Jeff Johnson: There’s an entire section on the ioncube loader in the installation instructions and tutorials.
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Awesome! I just downloaded the plugin for my site…will keep you updated abut the traffic changes. Thank you Jeff!
Thanks for the free plugin!
It is for sure that to read instructions first is great idea.
Also, it is a great plugin for everybody who don’t know much about how to do SEO for WP.
Candy
Great plugin, Installation was without hassle, good work Jeff.
Where is the typepad version ? Nowhere on the sign up page did you make reference to this software only being compatible with WordPress.
Very disappointing offer.
Jeff Johnson: I’m sorry but where on the page did I say it would work with typepad?
Wow, great post. lately, I been mulling the idea of starting a blog, but with a dedicated host which supports WP. Reading this has finally convinced me.
Thanks
Interesting software. Blogs, like a lot of CMS`s can often create some duplicate content issues without plugins or the right url format. Blogs do really work if set up correctly.
Keep up the good work.
Oh Jeff, you upset Fraser! They like a whinge do the Scootish.
BTW: A great WP Plugin.
Thanks jeff.
I now have the plugin on my 9th wp blog and WOW, I actually get traffic.
Thanks for thee great plugin.
My server does not allow ioncube installation
help plz!!!
Jeff Johnson: sorry, ioncube is necessary for the plugin to work.
Very nice free tool Jeff, many thanks for sharing
Installing the Ioncube Loaders, if you are hosted at GoDaddy at least, is WAY WAY WAY harder than implied here. You need to put together a tutorial video showing how to do it. Three separate techs at GoDaddy had no clue. The fourth time I called in, the tech told me they aren’t allowed to help with Ioncube Loaders, so he would send me instructions — which were like course material from a Rocket Science PhD program. This really shouldn’t have to be that difficult. And until you have a training video on how to do it, the whole “traffic-getting seo software” is effectively useless.
Jeff Johnson: Actually, I state this right in the installation instructions “Hosting accounts to Avoid (they don’t work well with the TGSP): Godaddy”
Godaddy is the only one I’ve had to list after giving away the sotware for the past year.
The software is very easy to use if you are using any one of thousands of other hosting services.
And I’m told it can work with godaddy as well but it sounds like you had the techs that didn’t have a clue.
Just do a quick search on google for “godaddy ioncube” and you’ll find dozens of tutorials.
Jeff will this affect the rest of a wp site ie home page, video page, news page, or is the plug in just for the blog page? I have 6 other pages on a wp site and am new this. Thanks in advance.
Jeff Johnson: It works with your blog, so if any of those pages are handled by your blog, it may have an effect.
Hi Jeff, I don’t really understand the software and what it does, maybe too difficult for me without some training. So do I need to be doing a blog to use it?
Also I use a mac and find people try to send me windows stuff all the time which doesn’t work.
thanks,
Jeni
Jeff Johnson: Yes, you need a wordpress blog installed to use traffic getting seo plugin.
We don’t have specific “how to use a blog and make money with it” training on this blog, but if you are in my coaching club you’ll find plenty of it.
However, I send my list plenty of traffic getting and money making tutorials… so keep an eye out for my emails.
As for mac… the software is server based so that’s not an issue unless you have problems opening the zip file before loading it to your server.
Hi Jeff…
I have installed the newest verion2.0 of the Trafficg-getting plugin.
Please, is it ok to delete the blogroll under where are links pointing out to other sites including yours. This is because my niche is differnet and having links pointing out to other unrelated sites could affect position in the search engines.
So, i need your advice. Is it ok to delete all the links under the blogroll. And deleting it, will it affect the operation of the Traffic-getting plugin?
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson: Well, those links are the only thing I ask for when it comes to using my software and my training for free… but if you absolutely feel they can’t stay there then remove them; they won’t affect the plugin.
This is the 2nd time I’ve received an email to download this plug in, and I’ll be dam if I can find a download button anywhere on this site.
Nice way to build a list, offer an giveaway then make it difficult to find it, if the download is on this page at all. I’ll be unsubscribing, what a scam
Jeff Johnson: The download link itself is in the email you say you received; it is not posted on this blog, it is only sent out via email.
After you confirm your request to be on my list… the first email sent has the download link in it.
The subject line is “your free seo blog software…”
Hey Jeff, I have version 2.8 WP…but I don’t see the pluggin button on the left hand panel to add it to my blog anywhere? Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Chris
Jeff Johnson: Please be sure to check out our installation tutorials and FAQ
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
And sometimes you can increase your screen resolution, or try a different browser to see things that “appear” missing.
I’m having the same problem as the above commenter. I have 2.8.6 WP. There is no browse button to upload a zip file. I could alternatively ftp the file into the appropriate plugin folder which would be quick. Would i upload the zip file or the seo folder into the plugin folder? And will that work?
Jeff Johnson: Under the Plugin section of the WP dashboard (on the left when you log in) you’ll find the “add new” option.
Click on that link and it says “Plugins extend and expand the functionality of WordPress. You may automatically install plugins from the WordPress Plugin Directory or upload a plugin in .zip format via this page.”
Just follow the directions on that page.
well, i’m uploading the seo blog folder now into the plugins folder. we’ll see what happens. Can’t imagine a zip file working by itself. I’ll get back to you.
This is what I got when I tried to activate.
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
What should I do now?
Thanks for your help.
Jeff Johnson: I responded to your other comment. if that doesn’t help, please contact your host for toubleshooting support.
I get the following message in the admin section of my wordpress blog, when I try to upload the zip file downloaded from here.
The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/tattoo/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11.
I have also manually moved into the folder, and tried to run the plug in uploaded in wordpress again and it didn’t work either. How can I fix this error please?
Jeff Johnson: I would guess your permissions need to be set up correctly. Please see our installation instructions or contact your host for help.
I wanna delete an old blog and start over…I don’t know which files, folders and data bases to delete as I have many blogs on the same host
comments/suggestions
Jeff Johnson: My advice is to ask your host which files can be delted and/or replace safely; they may be sharing files or databases and best not to make a mistake.
After struggling with GoDaddy for hours, I ditched it, and went over to GVO hosting using Fantastico. Setup was a breeze!
Thanks very much for this Jeff. I am excited to see the results.
Help! I have just installed a blog at lunar pages with the latest version of wordpress, but for some reason it won’t let me install the traffic getting plug-ins. I get the following message:
The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/georg58/public_html/home-security-solutions/wp-content/uploads/2009/11.
Anybody have any ideas what to do? I’m stuck!
thanks
Jeff Johnson: It could be your permission settings on the folders.
Please consult our tutorials here:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
If they don’t help please contact your host and they’ll be glad to look at it for you.
I’ve successfully installed and activated Traffic SEO plugin. The only one I was not able to activate (but which was successfully installed) is Simple Captcha. Is there a fix for that.
I have a 73.92% utilization per the traffic meter, how do we now get it up to 100%
Can’t wait to see it working. I just set up my WP blog a week ago.
Thanks so much for your help.
Jeff Johnson: 100% utilization of the plugin is only possible with the pro version, which currently isn’t for sale.
Check the captcha plugin site for updates or fixes to their plugin.
Oh crap, i just looked at my blog. it’s not there. It’s completely not showing:
Site error: the file /var/www/html/blog/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.
And this one done with them over the phone and everything was working. I was in my dashboard and everything was working. What could have happened?
Jeff Johnson: It says they didn’t install the ioncube loader. Please have your host look at it again.
Have installed the FTGSPI into my Hostgator/WP site but cannot ativate the “Simple Captcha” plugin when i try to activate it i get told this “The plugin does not have a valid header.” Please help
thanks Julian
Jeff Johnson: Try updating the captcha plugin and see if that helps. If not, please contact simple captcha and see if they have a solution, and I’ll see if my guys have had any issues.
Hi Again!
Can we use themes other than the 7 you provide?
Do you have any theme screenshots available?
Thanks,
Susan
PS. You’re awesome. Thanks so much.
Jeff Johnson: Yes, will support thousands of other themes. Please see the installation tutorials if you need help with that.
P.S. I’m glad you enjoy the content and the software.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the plugin.
I can’t upload it to my wordpress blog. It tells me “The uploaded file could not be moved to …. (my homepage).
Can you help please.
Regards,
Winnie
Jeff JOhnson: I don’t have much information to work with here but I’m guessing it may be your permission settings.
Please review our installation tutorials or ask your hosting provider to check it out for you, they can see exactly what’s going on with your account.
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Thank you Jeff
The instructions are very helpful, I will try using your software as soon
as I can get a blog set up.
Rosemary
Hi Jeff,
Well, After 45 minutes with Blue Host, they were unable to get this plugin installed.
Any tips, it won’t upload through the method in the tutorial. I did get it to my public_html file by ftp. But can’t access from WPadmin to install (that was bluehost’s idea).
Regards,
Ray
Jeff JohnsonL: My guys tell me they have helped dozens of our coaching club members install it at bluhost without a big issue.
Here’s something that thay say may help but please check with your host before using the suggest code.
“make sure they upload the .htaccess file after uploading php.ini
Some hosts will over write your .htaccess file after loading your php.ini file
Make sure their .htaccess file is using these values
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
To those who were able to install it
Please help im getting this error while uploading the plugin
“The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/wp-content/uploads/2009/12.
Is there a manual way to install this instead?
Grateful for your assistance please
Jeff Johnson: Your permissions settings may be wrong. Please follow the tutorials or ask your hosting company for help with the correct permission settings
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Thank you for the great software!

The Simple Captcha is not activating after I installed it. Says “missing header”
Any solution. For now I am using reCaptcha
Thanks though, I believe this will help.
Jeff Johnson: any captcha will do, so you should be all set.
I love this plugin, but I have been getting this message : ‘Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!’ Prob is it’s been on WordPress 2.8.6 since it was released. How do I fix that?
Jeff Johnson: You should able to just install it; ignore the message.
Where the heck do I download the plugin??
nevermind, didn’t look far down enough in the email!
Jeff
Still cant figure it out. Please help
Jeff Johnson: Please review the installation tutorials . If they don’t help then please ask your hosting company to take a look at it for you.

Hello Jeff,
1. How do I join your coaching club?
2. How much is the coaching?
3. How much is the premium version of this software?
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson: My coaching club is actually closed to the public right now; we close it on a regular basis to service our existing clients.
It will open back up sometime in 2010.
The cost depends on what we are offering when we open back up.
The professional version of the software is not currently for sale but I do give it to my coaching clients for free (in the club).
Hello Jeff,
Thank you for two things:
1. For answering my question above.
2. For this great plugin called “Traffic Getting SEO Plugin”.
I just want to let you know:
I bought my domain on 14 Dec 2009 (yesterday to be specific). I installed wordpress on it immediately. I installed “Traffic Getting SEO Plugin” on it about 11 hours ago.
Could you believe that one of the keywords I was targetting is already making my website show up on the first page of google for a website I registered about 36 hours ago. The keyword I’m talking about has competition of 11,800,000 and average monthly searches is a little over 100,000.
I believe your plugin did great. Thank you.
Jeff,
First off, thanks for the TGSP! It’s a great tool.
I just upgraded the plugin and noticed that my extended blog details and keywords went over the recommended number of characters and keywords, but when I changed them, they didn’t update my blog.
I checked my source and not only didn’t my extended title not get changed but my keywords and description didn’t either.
Can you let me know what I can do to ensure that my blog homepage title is updated with my proper updated title?
I just might be missing the right area to update, I know there’s the TGSP details as well as the WordPress details.
Thanks very much in advance,
Neil
Jeff Johnson: If you are using a cache program like wp cache try deactivating it for an hour or so and see if that helps.
Or make sure you are changing them in the right areas, check the all in one seo plugin and see what you have there in addition to the general settings of wp.
I lithis program
I have clicked on twitter and facebook and when I go to collect my freebee, it sends me back to click on twitter and facebook again and again.
Also, there is too much material here to digest in a short time. Everyone is rushing.
Where do we find out what Spanish speaking people buy. I tried Googleing it many ways and did not get any good answers,
Thanks,
Alfred Marton
Jeff Johnson: Not sure what you mean by clicking twitter and facebook for freebies… I don’t give anything away on twitter and the facebook videos are public (since I have the maximum number of friends).
thanxx for this one Greetings from Greece

Jeff
I have been installing plugins using the direct upload method and it is only with this plugin that i encountered any permission problems. I read every detail of the installation tutorial and I feel that I covered everything.
I hope that someone could assist me here instead of just providing me the link again to this same page. I am even willing to provide my FTP details just to find a solution.
You may email me directly
Thanks
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but we can’t provide personal support for the free version of the plugin. If the tutorials are not helpful I suggest you ask your hosting company for help.
Hello,
I have a little problem. I’ve uploaded the plugin with ease. That was fine. However, when I try to install each recommended plugin individually, it doesn’t do it. It just keeps running and running as if it is trying to load but never stops. I am using the newest version (2.9) and hostgator. Any advice would be appreciated!
Jeff Johnson: Please make sure you are following the installation instructions:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
If it still occurs I’d try to reinstalling TGSP or try the installation instructions for plugins in general here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins
Hey Aj (and Jeff),
I was having a similar challenge with installing the recommended plugins.
Try this… it worked for me.
Right click on the link for installing the plugin and then select “open link in a new window.”
They popped right open and I was able to install and activate each of the recommended plugins.
Hope that helps.
Good Luck!
Kevin
Hi Kevin, I tried right clicking on the plugins and they installed..but the thing is they installed in the wordpress plugins and the all-in-one-seo needed configuring..but back in the plugins in traffic getting they were still not installed. Oh this is such a huge problem..the previous version is such a breeze to install wish this was the same.
Denise
Hi Kevin,
This is an update on my last reply to your post..First off, thankyou so much for posting what you did or otherwise I would still be sitting here tearing my hair out still trying to install the plugins. In my last reply I said that I right clicked on the plugins and they installed like you said, but back in the plugins in traffic getting the plugins were not installed..so I refreshed the page and they were installed after all…the only thing is Ping Optimiser won’t install and the seo-all-in-one needs configuring..don’t know how I’ll go with that, the last version didn’t require you to manually configure it. However I am so grateful for your post..now I can get on with my blog..thankyou.
It doesn’t come up in traffic getting plugins though. Denise
Jeff Johnson: all in one has always had to be configured to a point by the end user; blog name, keywords, description, etc and should be the same now.
I haven’t seen many issues with the plugins not installing but 99.9% of our issues come specifically from the thousands of different hosts the plugins are installed in so there’s no way to avoid them completely.
Also, 2.9 was a decent upgrade with wp… and those always cause issues until the individual plugins can work them all out.
Thanks for the updates and using TGSP.
Jeff,
I’ve been following your information and material for some time now and recently downloaded your Traffic Getting SEO Plugin.
With all the information I have been reading from you and others in the IM niche I have no doubt this will most likely surpass my expectations and provide me with great results.
With that said, I can now say I am ready to provide and give as much valuable information as I can to this world through my blog and begin building my list at an even faster pace.
Even if it kills me (maybe not literally), I know I will become totally financially successful through Internet marketing. And your plugin will get me one step closer to achieving my goals in this lifetime.
Thank you,
Dario Montes de Oca
Hi Jeff. Thanks for the free plugin. Can I use Platnium SEO instead of All In One? thanks, Dave
Jeff Johnson: You may use any other plugin you’d wish, but it won’t be configured by my traffic getting seo plugin if you do.
I have Hostmonster and have successfully added IonCube, but the plug-in won’t even install on any of my WordPress blogs. I don’t know what the problem is. I keep getting the following error:
“The uploaded file could not be moved to /home6/lifeand3/public_html/autotribute/wp-content/uploads/2010/01.”
Your help will be appreciated.
Jeff Johnson: Please check your permission settings on your hosting account folders and such. Ask your host provider or check out the installation info here:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
I talked to hostmonster and they said I shouldn`t need permission to download any plugin. The helper suggested I upload the plugin manually, directly to the wp-content/plugins section. Would that be a problem. Do you know what the issue might be?
Jeff Johnson: The plugin folders will need permissions set but the plugin itself may not. You may install it manually.
Thanks to Kevin Dervin for the suggestion on how to fix the plugin installation problem. I was having that same problem and couldn’t figure out why. I had installed it on other blogs in the past with no problems.
I tried right clicking on the link as Kevin suggested a couple comments previous to this one and it worked like a charm!
Thanks.
Hi:
I down loaded the WordPress.org but I am confused on how I can download all the seo material. Maybe you can help me. Thanks.
Mel
Jeff johnson: the traiing material will be emailed to you over time, and there is also tons of content “hidden” on this blog… just search around
Hello Jeff,
I keep seeing this error message(below) in my dashboard member area. I didn’t tamper with anything. The traffic getting plugin is fine. But this error message i keep seeing and don’t know what it is and what it meant. But definitely something must be wrong somewhere, that’s why it is showing.
Please, i need your help and support to fix this.
Thanks.
Error Message
“Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLPROTO_FILE cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/mylasert/public_html/wp-includes/http.php on line 1302″
Jeff Johnson: at least one of the plugins use curl so they may not be compatible with the newer wp version, or your hosting provider upgraded their server side software like php, mysql, ioncube, etc. Please check with them and see if they can help.
What do I need to do to install the Google Analyticator plugin on my blog that already has a previous install of TGSP ?
Jeff Johnson: you can simply install the ga plugin if you’d like, or upgrade the entire tgsp to the new version with gs.
Hi Jeff,
I bought your UTL program last year. Do I get an update of the Pro version of the TGSP. The downloads still shows version 0.4.5.
Thanks!
Jeff Johnson: The pro version updates are different, and are only available to current coaching members.
So you could upgrade to the new free version and you’d gain a lot of improvements over the old version 1.xx.. but not as many as the pro version. Just be sure to backup your site before you try the switchover.
I am trying to install the tfgp 2.02 and i have de-activated and deleted previous version. However i get the following error when i click on the upload button in wordpress.”The uploaded file could not be moved to /hsphere/local/home/c270443/crystalsoil.com/wp-content/uploads”
I then decided to upload the plugin unzipped directly to /hsphere/local/home/c270443/crystalsoil.com/wp-content/uploads” but it does not appear in list of plugins to activate.pls help
Jeff Johnson: The first issue sound like a permissions probelm, please ask your hosting provider for help or consult our installation tutorials http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
I doubt it very much jeff. i already had tfgp 2.02 without GA installed so i deleted it to install the new version with GA and thats the error i get. In the end i had to revert back to the ver 2.02 without GA and it works. so there has to be something different with this new version that prevents the install?
Is it possible to install the GA only with my existing version? if so how do i do this?
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but we tested it extensively and found no issues on the update so asking your host to look at it makes the most sense, especially since my wp programmer for it won’t be back in until Wednesday. As for installing GA.. install it the same as any other plugin and you should be ok.
Jeff, thanks for the great plusing and frequent upgrades. My question is are you ever going to offer the pro version as a stand-alone upgrade without the coaching/ I would be interested in the pro version, but not the coaching.
Jeff Johnson: I really don’t know since I’d have to charge a decent price to make it worth my while… so I’m thinking bundling it with the club makes it a better value overall. But you never know.
i am checking as you requested with my webhost as we speak
I assumed the GA was contained in the download of tfgp 2.02 zip file. is this not the case? where then can i find the link for the GA plugin only?
i have checked with my webhost and they say permissions are all correct. i didnt thing it was permissions cause like i said i have successfully installed 3 previous version of tfgp and the latest one that i installed is tfgp 2.02 but without GA.
Jeff Johnson: I can’t guarantee there weren’t other changes to TGSP, but here is the plugin we added for the free version http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analyticator/
Hi Jeff, Great Stuff as usual thanks… when I installed the Plug In I get an error on the Ping Optimiser…? Is there anything that you recommend I do?
Jeff Johnson: Check the verson of the TGSP download, should be 2.0.3
Hi Jeff,
I have been a follower of yours for a while now, I’ve just downloaded TGSP and tried to install on a new WP Blog but alas things are not going well, I’ve activated it but when I go to install the rest of the plugins it stalls and nothing happens, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for this version, I’d love to get it up and running properly.
Regards
Ramari
Jeff Johnson: check the version number and make sure the tgsp is 2.0.3. Then try to reinstall. we’ve tested it for weeks on multiple servers without an issue, but we’ll keep looking for issues.
Hi Jeff.
I installed the plugin but on the first optimise plugin install (All-in-one-SEO-pack) it just hangs on the install with the progress bar. It has been there for 20 minutes so far. Any suggestions other than die of old age waiting to see what it does?
Cheers.
Ken.
Jeff Johnson: SHouldn’t take that long, please try again.
Hi Jeff
I installed the plugin but on trying to install the All-in-one-SEO-pack, the install just hangs there.
I have the progress bar and it has been there for 20 mins now. I looked in the plugins directory but the only plugin there is the seo-blog. Before I die of old age waiting for it to install, any suggestions ?
Cheers
Ken
Jeff Johnson: Shouldn’t take that long, please try again.
OK so I installed them manually but, can’t find ping optimzer – maxblogpress-ping-optimzer? Where will I get this one?
Jeff Johnson: Check the verson of the TGSP download, should be 2.0.3
Love your plugin first off!
Thanks.
Had a problem with the sem-google-analytics plugin conflicting with the analyticator, but I just punted the sem-google one and all is fine there.
The ping optimizer won’t download and/or install.
Same goes for the simple captcha and permalink migrator. It’s like it is trying to download but then it just sites there with the javascript uploading symbol churning away trying to search for them but nothing.
All others came on board fine. Sitting currently at 69.3% optimized.
Jeff Johnson: We’ve tested it for months on dozens of domains and servers without issues. I’ll run this by my WP guy when he gets back in on Wednesday, but you could try reinstalling and see if that helps.
Does the upgrade to TGSP work with wordpress 2.9.1
Jeff Johnson: Yes, 2.0.3 works with wp 2.9.1
Hi Jeff,
Cheers for another great release of you WP SEO plugin. I have it running nicely on a few blogs of mine… However I’ve just run into a problem that has me baffled. I am getting an error message on a brand new install on a brand new WP server hosted blog!
The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/sushicom/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/01.
Any ideas! I’d love to hear
It;s on WP 2.9.1
Hope you can shed a little light
Tony B
Jeff Johnson: I’m not sure what you mean by “WP server hosted blog” but if you mean it’s the hosted version of wp at wordpress.com then it won’t work.
However, if you are talking about a shared hosting account it could be your permission settings.
You need to edit your php.ini file
Try these settings:
memory_limit = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 20M
post_max_size = 20M
I suspect your upload_max_filesize is 3M
Hello and thanks for the great plugin.
I had problems installing as, but an ftp upload rather than within wordpress and that worked fine.
Had a problem with the sem-google-analytics plugin with the google analyticator, but once I deleted the sem-google-analytics all was fine there.
I am still having problems with installing these last 3 plugins:
Ping Optimizer
Simple CAPTCHA
Permalink Migrator
They go into the initial javascript load screen but then just sits there churning away with no response. Like it can’t find the plugin. I even tried installing the ping optimizer from the wordpress repository (assuming it was the same one) and that worked, but your plugin did not acknowledge it being installed.
Jeff Johnson: Ping optimizer was just removed from the wordpress reopsitory so it will no longer auto-install. Either ignore it, or download the plugin directly from their site.
We aren’t aware of issue with the other two plugins so I can’t help; 99% of all issues we’ve seen are a result of local hosting issues or the individual plugins themselves and not TGSP. Please try to reinstall and/or check with your host for help.
Sorry,
I posted a comment last night and it did not appear so I just reposted without seeing that my original was posted and with a reply.
Thanks!
I had the same issue with the Permalinks Migrator. When I click the install button for the Permalink Migrator, the flash screen opens with a progress bar but never gets the plugin. I would install it manually but there is no plugin with that exact name. There are several with slight variations, however. It would not install the Analyticator but I did that manually.
Otherwise it works like a charm and Ihad no issues with it. (This is the 2.0.3 version – I had the same issue with the Permalinks in the 2.0.2 version.)
Jeff Johnson: The permallinks plugin is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalinks-moved-permanently/
I ran into a installation issue.
Taffic Getting SEO PluginTM 2.0 – Free Version is almost ready. You must agree to the Terms of Service to start using the plugin.

Hi Jeff…
I contacted my host about the WP error just as you suggested.
Error Message
“Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLPROTO_FILE cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/mylasert/public_html/wp-includes/http.php on line 1302″
I was asked to upgrade to version 2.9.1 to see if that will rectify the error. I’m very careful of any upgrade i do again. Intially when i upgraded from version 2.8 to 2.9, is when my blog no longer pings. So, i’m very cautious with doing another upgrade now.
What do you think Jeff? When is it a good time to upgrade one’s wp site? Do i still wait a while for some of the plugins be updated by their respective owners before upgrading, so that it doesn’t affect another setting on my blog again.
Please, advise.
Thanks
Jeff Johnson: chances are that curl error is related to one of the plugins that have not been updated. We’ve upgraded to wp 2.9x without issue. Most issues are host specific so perhaps your host can help.
However, several of the plugins have not been upgraded. An option is to simply not activate them with TGSP and wait for them to be upgraded.
Hi Jeff,
do you know how I can fix this when I get a error code like this when I try to activate the plugin:
Site error: the file /home/content/p/o/n/pontuseggert/html/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.
Thanks,
Jeff Johnson: That’s clearly addressed in our tutorials, can’t miss it:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Pontus
i realised that as a result of cache i did not download vers 2.03 but 2.02. I now have the right download. I have installed the plugin but they is no google analytics. i thought this version came with GA? or do i need to install the GA plugin separately?
Jeff Johnson: version 2.0.3 should install it automatically. I just checked and my tgsp shows that GA was installed.
Check under the “Traffic Getting” section of your wp dashboard, go into “plugins” and see if there’s an option to have it installed. If so, try selcting “install”.
Hi Jeff,
I have ver2.0 installed and now want to upgrade to ver2.0.3. How do I do. Should I delete the earlier version and do a complete upload of the newer version? Then, what happens to my earlier settings.
Pls. advise.
Tx.
Jeff Johnson: Please follow these instructions: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Plugin problem. I have rub into two problems with the Traffic-Getting plugin.
1. The plugin does not recognize the PRO version of All-In-One-SEO plugin
2. I use the premium FlexSqueeze theme on most of my blogs which has Google Analytics already. The new update has Google Analytics included so do I have to install the Analytics plugin?
Anyway, I cannot edit the “Blog Details”. I get this error message: IMPORTANT! You must have the core plugins installed to add blog details!
The only plugins I have not installed are the Analytics and the FREE All-In-One-SEO.
Jeff Johnson: The core plugin that uses the blog details is the all in one plugin. I’ve never tested it with the pro version so it may not work. No, you don’t need to install the analytics if you already have them.
Hi,
I have been receiving the free version of the seo plug-in. However, I bought launch tree through your link last year because the bonus was the paid version of the software. I have sent a couple emails but have never received the software. I thought I’d try here to see if I could catch up with you.
Thanks,
Karla
Jeff Johnson: I checked with my help desk and they did indeed receive your message, and they replied to them several times.
As they stated in their replies… we are sorry but your name was never on our confirmed list of launch tree buyers (launch tree gave us the list themselves), which is why you were never sent the download link.
However, I certainly appreciate the fact you tried to use my link!
Are you sure that the 2.0.3 download is correct? The version 2.0.2 is 3,131KB and 2.0.3 is only 73KB, the major difference being the ioncube folder. Thanks.
Jeff Johnson: Yes, we used to deliver it without ioncube, added it for 2.0.2 and decided to drop it again for 2.0.3 because some hosts weren’t letting people use such a large zip.
Hi
I’m getting the below error and my hosting company can not assist
Warning: realpath() [function.realpath]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 692123 is not allowed to access /usr/lib/php5/extensions owned by uid 0 in /customers/findconsolegames.com/findconsolegames.com/httpd.www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/seo-blog/core.php on line 2
any ideas
Jeff Johnson: That looks like a server side php issue that would be controlled by your host. Either have them disable it for your account, or ask them how to modifiy your php.ini file to provide a workaround. Also, sometimes with php5 you’ll need to add the php.ini file to both the root folder and the wp admin folder.
Jeff, installed the new SEO plugin; all is well.
One small issue:
On my advanced page, I see the following:
Google Analyticator 0 out of 1 optimization settings applied for this plugin.
the plugin is “turned on” correctly will all the necessary google codes.
wondering why I see the 0 out of 1 for my optimization?
thanks!
Jim in Atlanta
Jeff Johnson: I don’t know why but it isn’t SEO related so I’d just ignore it. I’ll check with my programmers and see if they can resolve it for future updates.
I successfully installed version 2.0.3 but when I try to install the recommended plugins, it just hangs (screenshot posted at http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-10/1098937/TGSP%20screenshot.jpg).
I got the same result using Firefox and IE. Do I need to change any of the file permissions?
I confess that I didn’t install this on a new blog, but since I’ve used 2.0.2 successfully on other blogs on the same webhost (though never on this blog), I thought it was worth a try. Thanks in advance for your help!
Jeff Johnson: 99% of all issues are host or other plugin specific so I’d suggest trying to update the wp first, reinstall, and if that doesn’t help ask your host for help.
Hi Jeff thanks for the hard work and research. I installed free version of TGSP at first my traffic drop as it change the permalink, but now i can see my ranking on search engine increase.
I want to have the paid version so my blog can be optimized 100%, how to get this?
Jeff Johnson: Currently the professional edition of TGSP is only available inside my coaching club, and my club has been closed for a few months to new members.
Should be opening back up in early February or so.
Jeff,
My site currently does not have a blog.
I am blog ignorant I guess.
What exactly will having a blog do to drive traffic to my website? What is the logic and process etc??
I am not someone who likes to write articles and don’t have time monitor one I guess either.
Not sure what the intent or purpose of having a blog is?
Can you give me some insight as to how blog’s are relevant to SEO, and website traffic etc.
Thanks,
Michael
Jeff Johnson: Blogs make it easier for the average person to post their content online, and it makes it easier for the average person to present their content in a search engine friendly way; the blog plugins and software do a lot of the SEO work for you.
However, you must add content to your blog one way or another, and the more “original” your content on the blog is, the better.
Jeff, the install and setup went flawlessly! Well done job on this new version.
The Sixties Toy Box blog is running on WP 2.9.1 and your latest plugin.
Hi Jeff, I love what I see and really want to use this.
I have installed it without any hiccups. I use Just Host hostings and they already have Ioncube loader automaticly on their servers (I got them to prove it).
I am using WP Ver 2.9.1 and 2.0.3 of Traffic Getting SEO Plugin.
Unfortunately it will simply not install the Plugins. I get to Step 9 of the Install guide with no probs whatsoever. I go to install the Plugins and I simply get a see-through black screen with a scrolling ‘candy bar’ bar, like it is starting the install, but it sits there forever.
Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks, Chris
Jeff Johnson: Try refresshing the screen when the scrolling bar appears. You may also try adding the .ini file to both the root directory and the wp admin folder.
Thanks for the fast reply Jeff.
Sorry, but I don’t know where to find the ini file. I looked in plugins/seo-blog folder. I also unzipped the original ‘zip’ file and could not see an ini file there.
Many thanks, Chris
Jeff Johnson: Your host will be able to point you to your .ini file.
I am having the same problem as Chris S (candy bar only when trying to install the plugins) – refreshing the screen doesn’t do anything except throw me back out to the plugin installation list.
I originally installed the plugins successfully with the exception of the Ping Optimizer. I then realised that Ping Optimizer needed WordPress 2.9 or higher and that my host’s WordPress installation button had only installed 2.86 version. I then took everything off and reinstalled 2.91 version but the ‘candy bar’ problem started when I got round to attempting any plugin installation.
I am having problems getting a response from my web host at the moment – any advice?
Jeff Johnson: All I can suggest is to refresh the screen and try again, or reinstall TGSP. http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
This is what my web host has said:
Your plugin was uploaded correctly, and as I see in your admin panel this plugin is active.
I think you need to reconfigure this plugin for your site.
I am very sorry, but we are can’t do it for you as we can only provide technical support on our direct services such as cPanel, emails, FTP, MySQL connections and a lot of other administrative tasks.
Please, turn to web developers regarding this matter.
Jeff Johnson: If you installed in incorrectly then please uninstall it and reinstall . Here are the installation instructions; http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Hi,
I just installed your software on my new site above but my rss feed that was showing previously no longer shows.
I even tried to locate it using permalink migrator but no luck. Any idea what the new url could be or how I can locate it.
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson: your feed should be at at domain.com/feed/ if it is a standard feed.
Hey Jeff,
Please comment on implementing TGSP with another plugin like wishlist member.
Compatible? Should I install one before another, etc
Thanks,
Jeff Johnson: I really don’t know. TGSp works well with hundreds of other plugins but there’s no way to know until you test it.
Hi Jeff,
I installed this on a new wp blog 2.85 and It all went great, I applied the tweaks, and it optimized to 70%. However when I click on my post to see the complete post page itself, I get a 404 error page. By the way this is on a subdomain. I did make the adjustments to the permalinks, and I even tried the plugin that suppose to permanently redirect.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Jeff Johnson: You may try upgrading to wp 2.9x but that really shouldn’t be the issue since the plugins are backward compatible.
I don’t see anything wrong with your linking structure from this end.
Please try to reinstall following the instructions, or see if your host can give you a hand.
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Hi jeff,
Thanks for this superb plugin. However, i have installed twice but whenever i type my domain in the search engine, it keeps giving me “SEO BLOG has been corrupt”
Could you please help
Jeff Johnson: I assume you mean you seeing an error message in your browser during installation. Please follow the directions here for uninstalling and then reinstaling TGSP http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
If that doesn’t work please ask your host for help.
Hello there!
I want to say thank you for letting me use this plugin. I havent install it yet but soon.
Cheers!
Jeff
Thanks for requesting my Free Traffic-Getting SEO Plugin, video tutorials, and step-by-step “get more traffic” training material…
Jeff
Were are the video tutorial
Jeff Johnson: the links to them are sent out via the autoresponder over time (there are approximately 80 or so), or you can find some on my blog fo now.
Thank you looking Forward
Thanks for the last reply. I have installed the software and its working perfectly.
However i need your advice. I uploaded a few websites a couple of days ago to the 3 major search engines {through the Add URL}, i have also used blogs and added to over 400 classified ads websites and directories but none seems to be pointing back to my website and i cant even find them in either of the search engines.
Could you please advice me on what to do.
Thanks
Jeff Johnson: There are way too many variable that could be affecting your sites such as hosting issues, no index tags in your themes, a bad ip neighborhood, etc.
But if you use quality original content… it could take a week for your blog to show up. If not, then start looking for the reasons… but I wouldn’t worry about it for at least a week.
I use a paid theme that has seo built into it so I don’t need to use the All-In-One-SEO Pack. Would your Traffic Getting SEO Plugin still work for me?
Thanks.
Jeff Johnson: You should be able to disable the all in one and stil use the other plugins configured by TGSP, but be careful about changing your existing permalink structures.
I thanks it is a nice plug
seo ? what is seo all in one… ? i want to learn more
This software is awesome and brings traffic to my site like a magnet. Jeff you are the greatest and giving us this useful software for free is just fantastic. Keep up the good work Cheap Air Travel Packages
just downloaded this and when i go to activate it, it does NOT activate? but it shows that it is there in my installed plugin area? i have this same plugin (new version) as well, on 3 different blogs by WP and they all work fine!… i do not understand what to do here.?
Haven’t heard of that issue. Please check with your host and make sure everything in the installation instructions is available, properly configured for the account.
Jeff, Contrats to you and your team. 2.0.3 was the most effortless install yet. All I had to do was follow directions.
All the hard work you guys put in to make it this effortless is very, very appreciated!
Thanks, Ive heard great things
Hi Jeff, I have a problem after the install of all the Plogins yesterday it was a new install, every was fine after the installation but this morning when i try to login to my wp admin i got this erro code: Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_admin() in /home/olayidhg/public_html/wp-includes/vars.php on line 16, on my page please Help.
Thanks
Please have your hosting company take a look at it for you, they should be able to locate the issue quickly.
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for this free plugins, i have just install a wpblog on my server and install all the plugins yesterday but today when i try to login to my wp admin i got this erro message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_admin() in /home/olayidhg/public_html/wp-includes/vars.php on line 16, Please help.Thanks
I have been using free traffic getting plugin for over 6 months now. the latest version i have installed is 2.03 and am using wordpress xx. I had no issues. But i noticed today that my metre reading bar and the ability to automatically optimise the plugin has gone. everyhing else however is still in place
see screenshot http://imagebin.ca/view/Rn3q93G.html
i de-activated and then deleted the plugin but it makes no difference.
whats happened. it always had this functionality before
Sorry, but my guys can’t seem to duplicate the error after testing it on several servers and we haven’t seen this before.
I would suggest backing up your blog, deleting all files, and reuploading, but it looks like you already did that.
My guys haven’t been able to duplicate your issues so I can’t offer much help without going into your hosting account, which we can’t do.
But there is a newer version 2.0.3.1 available so you may wish to try that and see if that helps.
I had to upgrade my website from PHP4 to PHP5 for a new application on my website.
Since then I keep getting fatal error. on my Blog
Site error: the file /homepages/19/d287554996/htdocs/blog/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.
Every time I edit the php.ini file and insert in the WordPress folder, and the wp-admin folder….My entire Blog dies.
I have to delete the application from via my ftp client to get my blog back.
Do you have an example of an PHP.ini file for PHP5 I can try? I let me know were exactly to install it.
Also were exactly to place the ioncube folder?
/blog/ioncube/ ??
Any help would be appreciated. My web hosting company is NO help. They just refer me to the ioncube website.
Thanks again in advance.
Howard
Each host is different.
Try also placing a copy of the ini file in the root folder as well.
And after the upgrade to php5 you may have to reactivate the ioncube loader, even if it was activated before the upgrade.
Please consult our ioncube tutorial http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/ioncube/
This is the message I get when I try to activate the plugin on my blog. I had no problem with the old version.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare deactivate_tgsp() in /misc/34/000/106/067/2/user/web/decoratingahomeblog.com/wp-content/plugins/seo-blog/core.php on line 0
Look like there is a problem with the upload.
First, back up whatever you may have.
Then, please delete all filies and reupload; no need to deactivate once you delete all files.
Hi Jeff,
Love the plug in.
I have up graded all-in-one-seo to professional version and I am unable to activate it inTraffic Getting SEO Plugin
Any clues.
Regards Pete
Sorry, but I’ve never heard that one and my developer is out until Monday. However, you should be able to activate plugins that are not “part of” TGSP, TGSp just won’t be able to control them. Please check with the All in one Pro people… I think they provide support for the paid version.
Jeff.
Hi.
Thanks for the software. Awesome as I’ve just instaled it on a new WordPress blog site that I am setting up.
How does one get their hands on the professinal version ?
It’s only avaliable to my coaching club right now, and that has been closed since November.
But… we have plans coming up in March for both
I’m sorry if my question that i’d like to ask sounds stupid… well i’m not familiar with wordpress blogging (dont have any blog btw) hmm… may i know what is this plugging all about and how does it look like? how do i earn income by having the plugging install should i have a wordpress blog?
pls forgive me if i ask stupid question, but im totally blurr…lol. but im planning to involve in making money online…
You’ll need to have your own wordpress blog installed to use the traffic getting seo plugin. Aso for the other questions…. there’s a ton of free info on this blog that will help answer those. Please feel free to look around.
Hi Jeff,
Wow! You sure do have quite a following and just from scanning many of the comments it is more than obvious that you are a genuine good guy giving away a real time saving gem.
I cannot stand the loud mouth losers that seem to have enough time in their day to leave such insulting comments.
I appreciate the fact that you have given this free plugin to me as it is saving me a ton of time.
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Howard
This just hit me, I typically use the Dagon Design Sitemap generator along with Google XML Sitemap generator but I see you don’t have that included in the optimization. Would you suggest not to use the DDSG and the G-XML-SG together or does it really not matter?
You are welcome.
I have never heard of dagon, but TGSP will work with most other plugins.
Hi Jeff thanks for the plugin its really great.
Are you familiar with WP Robot? Would you suggest using it or is it bad to use something like this .
Simon
sorry, never used it.
Sorry, I have never tested it.
Jeff,
I tried to install the pro version on my existing blog. I keep getting this error on the install:
Could not copy file /public_html/wp-content/upgrade/traffic-getting-seo-bonus-2.0.3.1/seo-blog/bad.jpg
any suggestions?
Your permission settings may be off, or it could be a host specific issue.
Please consult our tutorials http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/ or ask your host for help.\
If you are in the coaching club just ask my guys for help in the tech forums.
can anyone give me a hand here? I’m trying to install this plugin (followed the instruction step-by-step) But it keep giving me an error says
Site error: the file /home2/explodei/public_html/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 also followed the ionCube installation processed, still nothing happen for me.. =(
I’m using bluehost as my domain
Please ask bluehost for help… I believe we use them and don’t have a problem getting it to work.
It took awhile but, yes, it can be installed on a GoDaddy account. First, I had to add some lines to the php.ini file because my site uses PHP5 and also had to rename the file php5.ini. Then I had to add the line to the PHP5.ini file that activates the Ioncube loader. Then I had to download the loader file and install on my site. It took 2 1/2 hours because GoDaddy support didn’t want to do this for me (said scripting issues are not their responsibility), but all the plug-ins are installed and activated. Just have a couple more steps, but feeling much better than I did 2 hours ago!
That’s why we say in the installation tutorials…. godaddy isn’t the best choice for using ioncube enable software. But I’m glad you were able to work it out
Hi Jeff
I have downloaded and installed the plugin but am getting the following error when activating it.
Site error: the file /hermes/web10/b790/pow.kokiwebs/htdocs/Blog_Travelogue/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.
Can you help please?
Federico
maitravelsite.com
Please follow the installation instructions… they talk about the ioncube issue in great detail. Or simply ask your hosting provider for help.
Hey Jeff – great piece of software – or at least I will take your word on that as I haven’t a clue what it’s doing under the hood… lol. All installed flawlessly, great instructions. One question I do have, when I log into my WP Admin account, it tells me “Askimet is almost ready. You must enter your WordPress.com API Key for it to work”. Haven’t seen that one on the blog post here yet. It says that I must register for a WordPress.Com account to get. Do I really need this?? Thanks
Glad you enjoy it! Yes, you really should use askimet to protect against blog spam… it saves me hours a day on some of my blogs.
Hello,
How much do your service, says that because it is free, but many sites appear later price services.
best Regards
The traffic launcher is free… 100%.
Traffic Launcher is part of Traffic Voodoo
Traffic Voodoo is a completely new traffic-geeting training program that will be for sale for a few days starting on March 29th.
For fellow dreamhost users…
Be aware of funky fatal function upon activated the plugin… basically saying you need to install the ioncube.
No worries though, if you have access to ftp, then it should be a breeze.
You can get instructions and the installer script here: http://sxi.sabrextreme.com/phpion
I have the plugin installed and it works great. But my dashboard no longer displays properly. It’s mostly blank, except for your ad, and nothing within the main page can be clicked on to toggle open or closed or to move a section around on the page. The menu items can be opened and closed and clicked with no problem.
I read an earlier comment from one of your programmers. I use Bluehost and am on PHP5.
Any other ideas how I can get my dashboard info back?
Please try using a differnt browser or ask your host if your memory allocation for the scipt is too small.
Wow I just watched my Alexa Rank go from 11,000,000 to a little under 8,000,000, as I activated and “tweaked” your free plugin, has to say a lot about the Pro Version.
Thanks Jeff
thanks for the awesome plugin> i have installed all plugin succesfully, but there’s a slight problem. There’s an error showing on top “Permalinks cannot be automatically updated! Click here to update your permalinks”. When i click, i will get a pop up WP login page, and when i entered my credential, it sort of doesn’t do anything. But kept on popping out username and password for WP.
Wow Jeff,
Thanks. I’m glad I read you post and didn’t use on my existing blog. But I’m ready to create a new one so this should be fun. Can’t wait to try this out. I’m referring you to all my contacts. You sure do offer a lot of value. And you’re one of the few “Guru’s” who actively respond to blog posts.

This all sounds great. I am just starting to learn how to promote my business online and came across your stuff. Its a little over my head right now but maybe my husband can help me. LOL.
Thanks for all the great free help!
Hey Thanks! Def give this a try to make some feeders site!!! Mahalo!!
Well I must say, the optimization % really went up after installing this! It’s so generous of you to provide such as cool tool. Making $$ will let us all spend more $$…your programs are top of my wish list! Sincerely Jeff, thanks for helping us all out.
Hi Jeff,
This is what I did. I downloaded the free seo plugin to my computer. Unzipped it and uploaded it to my plugins folder using filezilla. Followed your steps to activate it up to step 5,but didnt see any option Target Getting to click on. Actually didnt see steps 6 to 8. It says the plugin is active, but didnt get prompts to put in tags, etc. Just wanted to know if I did it correctly. Thanks for sharing this. an you please make you UTL affordable one day for the struggling IM to break into success. Thanks much.
If you are missing some steps you really should uninstall and try reinstalling it again. Unless it seems to be working correctly.
Thanks alot Jeff
I’ve been longing to find something like this for a long time. Installing now. I’ll post results of this in my blogs.
Thanks for the plugin! The installation went fine, I only had to install the recommended plugins manually via wordpress as I got an API request error message. However, after that your plugin could do the necessary optimizations. Thanks again!
Thanks Jeff for the FREE TGSP.
It is real awesome of you to provide your tweaked plugin for us.
Even the comment section here is a great tutorial!!
I made a PDF copy of this page and included in the folder containing the plugin for future reference. )))
David
Thanks again
Unfortunately I’m using GoDaddy hosting (unfortunate cause your plugin doesn’t work with it). Is there any chance you could post your settings for each of the programs in written form so I can set it up manually?
I know it’s probably a stretch but I ‘d thought I’d trow it out there. Thanks for all the great info BTW!
Hi, Jeff thanks for the TGSP I was hoping it could be installed on my current wp blog. But i am going to take your advice and Not install it on my existing blog.. When i get another blog setup ill come back and let you know how things turned out.
Jeff,
Thanks for the cool plugin ill take a crack at installing it on a new blog in the future and if all goes well ill install it on my current blog.. I ll be sure to come back and make an updated post letting you know how things went.

After installing this plugin and the All in One SEO, my blog title will not show up on the home page nor on the post pages, no matter what I have tried. It was fine before… now, even if I disable both plugins, the title is completely gone. I have no idea how to fix this.
please ask your hosting provider to look at it for you, they’ll be able to see what’s going on inside your account.
Just tried to install on WordPress 3 beta, not having it! Asks me to upgrade to 2.7?
or is it me?
Please use the most recent stable version of WP instead.
Thanks Jeff!
I installed WP 2.9.2 I am using cpanel and Fantastico with hostgator….
I then installed all of the plugins you list in your installation instructions and then lastly installed your great plug in.
DId I do this right?
Once I install yours does it just go to work and do it’s thing?
Lastly for the All In One SEO Pack do I still go in and set my Home Title, description etc?
Thanks in Advance
Jason
Actually, it sounds like you did it backwards since TGSP goes first, not last.
ANd you’ll still need to “fill in the blanks” for TGSP which will fill in AIO for you, as well as others.

Does your plug-in work with WPMU?
Thanks!
Theoritically speaking, yes, it should work.
But we don’t develop it with MU in mind so I can’t day “yes” for sure.
Jeff, My blog is about 6 weeks old and I have had a few people install plugins already. Can I still install TGSP? I have ver. 2.9.2 WP and use hostgator. Thanks, Angela
that depends on the plugins you have installed. If they are ones the TGSP also installs,they will be “reset” to TGSP specifications, and your permalink structure may change as well (but you don’t have to change the permalink structure)
Please review this post for more info:

I’m having a problem with the plugin. I’m using WordPress 2.9.2 but when I go to the “Traffic Getting” it says “Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!” Help please.
Please check out our installation tutorials and/or our FAQ for TGSP:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Or you could ask your hosting providing to take a look for you.
Thank you for the plugin. I have installed on one of my blogs and I can confirm that I get much more traffic.
I have decided to install it on another new blog.
I would love to use your plugin, but I cannot locate it on the wp plugin web site. Is there another safe link to download it from?
the only way to download it is by joining my list and retrieving the password.
Just clilck the banner on my blog that says “Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin” and we’ll email you the download instructions.
It’s telling me to upgrade to WP 2.7 or higher
I have WP2.9
Please uninstall TGSP and try again, or ask your hosting company for help… it’s been successfully installed tens of thousands of times with 2.9 so it may be host specific.
I just went thru the entire godaddy problem for 2 days.
for php5 you have to make sure you edit root php.ini to php5 and there is also a second file inside ioncube folder called php.ini….do the exact same changes there and voila, it will work.
Support staff is clueless when it comes to ioncube, the key to making it work for the new 5.3 wordpress is to edit the second file in the ioncube folder aswell.
hope that clears it up a bit

I sure hope I did everything right. I ignored Jeff’s rule number one and two (please read installation instructions) and just went for it! and everything is sets up in less then ten minutes on one blog! Wow. This is awesome!! So if we are using the free version…where is the paid version available?
Thank you very much for this plugin! It is awesome! Brand new blog so I will let you know the results!
Hi Jeff, Thanks so much for all the great information, which is starting to make an impact on my businesses – so I look forward to taking your coaching club in the future. Any plans to do an event in the UK?
As per usual, I’m having a minor issue. I’m on WordPress 3.0 beta 2 (which was the default installation) and when the plugin installed in asked me to upgrade to wordpress 2.7. Any thoughts as to how to solve this, aside from installing 2.7?
Thanks again for all the help!
Sorry but I have no plans for any international events at this time… I like to stay close to home and my kids
TGSP version 2.1 is the newest version and it is wp 3.0 compatible. Please make sure you have the latest version of TGSP installed.
Hi Jeff, I was on 2.1 but managed to sort it – the issues was wordpress 3.0 beta 2 which I guess they haven’t fully tested. Just thought you should know in case others have the same issue. Just reverted back to 2.9.2 and now working brilliantly!
Thanks Again.
Hi Jeff,
I’m having the same issue as Ross Above:
I’m on WordPress 3.0 beta 2. TGSEO plugin installed in asked me to upgrade to wordpress 2.7.or Greater. I don’t want to go back to an earlier stable version of WP because I’ll lose all my current content. Yes I know I could back up everything and reinstall it in a stable WP version But I don’t want to spend 4 hours on learning to do that. I’d rather just REDO everything…
I’m hoping when this Beta WP Version becomes stable your plugin will work.
QUESTION:
Which plugins should I manually install for now besides:
1)All one SEO and 2)Google XML Sitemaps?
I’m sure other JJ fans have this issue as well…
Thanks for Reply…
Download TGSP version 2.1 .. just released earlier this week.
It is WP 3.0 compatible…works with 2.7 or greater as well.
Thanks Jeff for quick reply…
This is a FYI Post…
I’m (by default) using a WP development version (3.0-RC1-15022).
I’m still trying to use TGSP 2.1 and I’m getting:
“Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!”
I’m sure TGSP 2.1 will work when this current WP version is out of Beta…
Thanks
Jeff,
TGSP 2.1 isn’t working with WP development version (3.0-RC1-15022) Beta.
I chose this out of WP ignorance…I thought it would require no near future update…
I’m sure TGSP 2.1 will work when this WP version is out of beta…I’ll wait a few days, I’m updating it daily…
Thanks
Hello
Thank you very much for valuable information.
Might I suggest – while I like Sociable and have used it for a long, long time… SexyBookmarks is just sooo much cooler.
I also am finding that 2.1 is not working with the WordPress 3.0 release Candidate 1. After installing, get “upgrade to wordpress 2.7″ message. Please update the plugin to work with the 3.0(RC1)
Thanks much!
we’ve tested it multiple times with 3.0 and it works. Please try deleting and resintalling everything.
Jeff,
I’ve deleted the plug-in. Even removed wordpress 3.0 rc1 and database. I’ve reinstalled everything and upgraded to wp 3.0 rc3. Still no luck. Is this compatible with multi site enabled? Your plug- in works on my other wp 2.92 blogs on the same server. It isn’t working as someone else here has also stated.
Hey Jeff,
Okay. It’s working now. Download must of been corrupt. I re-downloaded it and it works fine. Off to get more traffic!
Thanks for a great plug-in!
Thanks for the opportunity to see this work hard. so far I am impressed.
Thanks For It.
Jeff, I joined your mailing list, but didnt receive any email where and how to download the plugin…any advice?
cheers.
Please check all folders in your inbox carefully… the email goes out automatically just as soon as you join.
Hello, I downloaded and install Free Traffic Getting but i cant activate the plugin because it will give me an error upon activating.
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. That’s the error i got, right now i am hosted my sites on a self manage dedicated server and uses xampp as the webserver. Please help!!! i wanna use your plugin. please
I have no way of knowing what your fatal error was or what caused it.
If you are given an error message simply search google for that message and chances are you’ll find an answer.
Please review our installation instructions and/or our FAQ section

I am having problems with the SEO plugin recognising my current version of WordPress. I am using 3.0 Beta and yet the plugin wants me to upgrade my wordpress version to 2.9.
Please help! Thanks.
TGSP is wp 3.0 compatible and we’ve tested it many times without issue.
Please try reinstalling both or checking with your hosting company for help.
HEre are the installation tutorials
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
I upgraded to wordpress 3.0 and it is asking me to upgrade to wordpress 2.7 or greater. This is happening to all of my wordpress sites. I used fantastico to install wordpress and upgraded using the upgrade link on the wordpress dashboard.
TGSP is WP 3.0 compatible and we’ve tested it repeatedly.
Please contact your hosting company for help or try uninstalling and reinstalling TGSP.
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
The problem is with wordpress. Some glitch that happens when you upgrade to 3.0.
Jeff, I have upgraded to WP 3.0, and now the SEO plug-in won’t run. It says I must “upgrade” to 2.7 or higher, so I guess it doesn’t read the “3″ in the current version and realize it’s higher! Am I going to have to downgrade back to 2.9.2 to keep using the plug-in or do you have a patch for us?
Thanks!
Yes, I even uninstalled the plug-in and reinstalled. Same error message. Since your tests show it runs OK with 3.0 in your lab, something out here in WP land must be different. Help!
TGSP works with wp 3.0. we’ve been testing it and using if for the last month without issue.
I’ll update everyone if I find something out but for now please have your host look at it.
Jeff, I’m sure it works WITH wp 3.0 – but if your testers can try installing it in wp 2.9.2, then upgrade to wp 3.0, and go to the dashboard and click the “Traffic Getting” button, you’ll see the problem. I believe that TGSP is just failing to recognize “3.x” after an upgrade. If you want a screenshot I can send you the page that TGSP generates.
This isn’t a host issue. It’s the simple recognition of a wp version number by TGSP.
I know the plug-in is free, and that you only provide it “as-is”, but when you have this much goodwill going for you, to allow a simple glitch to cause us all to abandon your tools isn’t a very sound marketing approach.
Thanks, I’ll have the guys look into to it!
My guys have repeatedly tested it in an upgrade scenario and haven’t had the issue you are referring to.
Here are the steps they follow
1. Installed the latest version of TGSP 2.1 on a WordPress blog, version 2.9.2
2. Activated TGSP, checked to make sure it was working.
3. Upgraded WordPress to version 3.0
4. Went to TGSP page
5. Installed and activated a recommended plugin
6. Applied blog tweaks.
It all seems to be working from my tests. Ask him to remove TGSP and redownload and install a fresh copy of the plugin.
Please make sure you are using TGSP v2.1.
Thanks again for the feedback.
We followed the same steps, except we could never get to #4, because instead of the TGSP page, we get TGSP’s error page saying, “Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!”
The wp 3.0 was downloaded from WordPress.org, not the Fantastico version (which we’ve also tried), and the TGSP plugin was v2.1.
This has happened on 14 different WP sites that were all upgraded in the past week. Have had no prior issues with TGSP, so this particular combo is a no-go at the moment.
we’ll keep checking into it but we can’t duplicate your errors… but we’ll keep digging.
In a “lab” environment, we take for granted that certain “tweaks” have been made to our servers to make life easier. We are a software development firm, and our labs have every bell & whistle that works. Unfortunately, we cannot test customer products in that environment, because THEY won’t have those bells & whistles. So, we use virtual servers with “pure vanilla” setups to ensure our programs will install or upgrade without error.
The real test for TGSP v2.1 and WP 3.0 upgrades, is to install wp 2.9.2 on a fresh domain in a new account on a 3rd-party host (BlueHost, HostMonster, etc.), and run the upgrade steps there. You will very likely experience the error everyone else is. If not, then the TGSP v2.1 you are using is not the same as ours, OR your version of WP 3.0 isn’t the same as what we’re getting from WP.org.
We use the same software from the same downloads as everyone esle for testing.
and then we test on regular shared hosting accounts as well as our own servers.
We still haven’t seen the issues mentioned.
But considering how many people use the software and how few error reports we’ve received I’d say the upgrade is working properly.
But we’ll keep an eye out for issues and come up with soutions when necessary.
Great. Unfortunately, I cannot say it, because it is no longer working properly on any of our WP 3.0 installations. I guess we’ll just have to tweak our own plugins until you guys find the bug.
Jeff, I have now downgraded all my WP 3.0 sites back to 2.9.2 in order to make TGSP v2.1 work. I know it works in your lab with 3.0, but nothing I’ve been able to do will make it believe that wp 3.0 is “greater than 2.7″.
For those having this same problem (and I know there are many of us), here’s the process:
1. Download WP 2.9.2 from wordpress.org.
2. Unzip and remove the “wp-content” subfolder.
3. Do a full backup of your site and database.
4. Deactivate all WP plug-ins.
5. Upload (FTP) the contents of the newly-downloaded “WordPress” folder – that’s root files, wp-admin, and wp-includes. Let them overwrite all the WP 3.0 files.
6. Log in to your wp-admin.
7. When prompted, allow WP to “upgrade” your database.
8. Reactivate all WP plug-ins.
9. TGSP v2.1 should now work fine.
10. If you had previously installed your WP 3.0 using SimpleScripts or Fantastico, you should be able to tell it (“Advanced” link) to revert its record back to 2.9.2.
We will stay with 2.9.2 until TGSP is fixed. It is a version-detection bug that shows up no matter what other plug-ins are active. TGSP v2.1 fails with WP 3.0 on every host we’ve tried, whether installed via Fantastico, SimpleScripts, or manually.
I had the guys create a non-version check beta last week and we are testing it.
Still can’t replicate the issues some are having but we are working around it either way.
Thanks for support!
Compatible with WP 3.0?
yes
I was having the same issue with WP 3.0 as many of you are having, so I restored back to WP 2.9.2. If you are leery that you may lose your post and such here is what I did.
- First I downloaded WP2.9.2,
- Next I unzipped it on my local hard drive,
- Next I deleted all the content in the wp-content directory of the un-zipped file,
- Next re-zipped all the files/directories (under the wordpress directory, I did not include the actual wordpress directory when I re-zipped the files) name the file whatever you would like,
- Next I uploaded it to my server in the directory where your wordpress scripts resides (I am using Cpanel with file manager).
- In file manager highlight the zipped file you just uploaded and click on the expand button at the top of the page.
-that will do it.
By the way I was already logged in to my site while I was doing this, I did deactivate all plug-ins. The next step you will need to do is refreshed your page and WordPress will tell you the database will need upgraded. Click on continue and it will perform this function for you.
Back to WP 2.9.2.
One other thing I noticed. I upgraded to WP 3.0 within my WP admin area (on my website) and when I went to my Cpanel and look at WP in Fantastico De Lux it was still listed as Ver 2.9.2 even though I had upgraded to 3.0. This could be the glitch, not sure though.
I hope this helps anyone out that would like to convert back to WP 2.9.2.
Have a great day!
I have 4 separate sites that I’ve been running TGSP on for the past several months. I recently upgraded to wp 3.0 and now it’s not working on any of them. I deactivated, uninstalled, and reinstalled, all to no avail. I’m getting the same error message on all 4 sites as LarkinSoft mentioned above. Help! Love the plugin, but can’t figure out why it’s not working now.
Please make sure you are using TGSP v2.1, which is wp 3 compatible.
I’m using TGSP v2.1. My webhost is JustHost. Never had any issues until I upgraded to wp 3.0.
Hi Jeff. I tried to install your plugin, it worked but i don’t see the page you show in your installation,to actually install each plugin.It keeps asking for an upgrade to wordpress greater than 2.7 , but I am already on 3.0
make sure you have tgsp version 2.1
Just tried to install plug-in on a brand new wp3.0 blog. I’m on Hostgator and using version 2.7 of the plug-in. When I activate it the plug-in settings tell me to upgrade to latest version of wordpress.
Hope you can resolve this soon.
we don’t have version 2.7 of the plugin.
Please make sure you have TGSP version 2.1.
Ane we’ve tested it on multiple hostgator accounts without a problem so please verify you are using tgsp 2.1 and try reinstaling WP 3.0 and TGSP.
I just setup a new WP 3.0 blog on Bluehost.com, and after I installed the TGSEO 2.1 plugin, I get the same message about needing to upgrade to WP 2.7 or later that others are getting. I have not yet pointed a domain name to the site, so I’m using the IP address shown above to access it. (The “live” site that I’m replacing is using the domain name now.)
I’m using the “TwentyTen Weaver” theme (a takeoff on the new TwentyTen theme that gives more control over the site’s layout) – any possibility that this or some other plugin could be causing the problem?
Hmm, I went and downloaded the TGSEO 2.1 plugin again, then deleted it, Google Analyticator, and the TweetMeme plugins. I uploaded and activated your plugin, and now it all seems to be working!
However, when I go through the configuration process, your plugin wants to install several others that are NOT tested with WP 3.0, including Sociable (only tested up to 2.8.5!), All-in-One-SEO Pack (tested up to the 3.0 RC1), and Permalink Migrator (only tested up to 2.6!)
I think you should consider using the “Conditional CAPTCHA for WordPress” from Samir Shah (http://rayofsolaris.net/) – it does some testing of the comment’s contents to determine if it may be spam, and only then presents a CAPTCHA.
Even though the plugin authors have not marked the plugins as tested, we have tested each plugin to work with WordPress 3.0, and all are still compatible. We monitor the plugins to make sure they still work and update TGSP accordingly. In fact, we just recently added SI CAPTCHA in place of an older plugin that no longer worked for many users.
Thanks for the suggestion as well.
please try using the new tgsp beta 2.1.1 for version check issues
http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=380818&MerchantID=68318
I too am having an issue with v2.1 using WP 3.0.
I did a cpanel, fantastico install through hostgator, installed 2.1, did all my tweaks, and after I was done upgraded to 3.0 through the admin panel, and afterward when I click on Traffic Getting, it tells me I must use version 2.7 or higher.
Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!
Please try the TGSP beta on our download page.
It doesn’t require a version check and may help solve your hosting issues
http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=380818&MerchantID=68318
This plugin is so neat that I install it on everybody’s WP installation! I’m a bit puzzled that the plugin insists on some installations that I upgrade to 2.7 or later, when all are already later than 2.7. How do hack that? Thanks!
make sure you download TGSP version 2.1 from our site and follow the installation tutorials.
Hi Jeff,
The TGSP v2.1 is not working with WP3.0.
This is the message I get when I have actived the plugin:
Traffic Getting Requires WordPress 2.7 or greater!
You must upgrade WordPress to 2.7 or greater to use this plugin. Please remember to backup your blog’s database and files before upgrading your blog.

Thanks,

Please try the TGSP beta version 2.1.1 on our download page.
It doesn’t require a version check and may help solve your hosting issues
http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=380818&MerchantID=68318
I was wondering when a compatible version with wordpress 3.0 would be available?
TGSP version 2.1 is compatible with wp 3.0 and was released on 5/24.
We’ve been using it without issue for ourselves and our clients.
Hi Jeff and Thanks for offering your software!
Man-alive! in your link above to ‘wp backup tutorials’, the WP site gives 14 steps!! to update to WP 3.0… its really above my head to even prepare to install your software…:(
…really, whats if I just used the automated upgrade option in my wp-admin… wouldn’t that just work fine?? [would i have to do all that file deleting and risk messing up my blog etc...?]
… thats whats stopping me being able to install your software…
Thanks for any advice…
Izzy
I’m getting the same upgrade error also when updating to WP 3.0
Try the new beta, it doesn’t require a version check

Hello,
I wanted to ask about the Penny Traffic System that you are promoting here. Do you offer any kind of guarantee, money back or otherwise?
No, it’s not my product so I don’t offer a guarantee. But the author is a friend of mine and I know he does, and he’ll honor it. Plus I’ve seen with my own eyes the power of it.
Hi Jeff, this is a great Plugin which I have found very useful and it works great. I would like to test out the professional version of traffic getting plugin, how do I upgrade?
The only way to currently get the Pro editijon is to join Traffic Voodo when it opens back up, or buy one of the products I offer it on as a bonus (mostly higher priced products such as PLF 3.0, Guru Blueprint, etc).
I just installed the beta 2.1.1 plugin and that solved the problem on WP 3.0.
I had tried every other idea and suggestion without any luck, 2.1 just wouldn’t work properly. Now onto my other blogs with the same problem…
Thanks for the beta,
Phil
I absolutly love your plugin. Thank you for your contribution to the over all wealth on the web.
Hey Jeff and team, Just installed the plugin for the update for wordpress 3.0, Everything is working on my end, thanks for the update
Thanks for the feedback! Did you use the beta 2.1.1 or the current 2.1?
This is some super cool stuff Jeff, Thanks
Hey Jeff
I’m getting the following error trying to activate the plugin on a brand spanking new WordPress 3.0 installation:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _iscurlinstalled() in /home/jaspotis/public_html/wp-content/plugins/seo-blog/ext-lib.php on line 0
Wordpress 3.0 was manually installed onto HostGator shared hosting account (no Fantastico)
I got the same error with both the 2.1 and the 2.11 versions of the plugin.
Curl is installed and the PHP version on HG matches the IONcube loaders in the plugin , which were uploaded by binary transfer.
Both were checked using a phpinfo.php file.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Nick
Hey Nick,
There’s a bug in the beta version of TGSP that causes this. It has been fixed for the next release, due in a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience.
No worries Dennis … at least you’re aware of it!
Cheers
Nick

All installed Jeff – it was the most clearly explained pluggin I’ve installed for a long time! Thanks. Look forward to the results!
I’ve just added this to my blog and it increased the optimisation by 40%. Looking forward to seeing how this will affect the traffic I get
Jeff,
I’ve attempted to install free-traffic-getting-seo-2.1.1 on my blog.
I backed-up my database. I deactivated and deleted the previous version of your plug-in. I deactivated and deleted Simple Captcha. I downloaded the free-traffic-getting-seo-2.1.1 zipped file onto my desktop, I attempted to upload the file both through WordPress and via Ftp using Filezilla.
All attempts failed.
When I attempt to upload thorugh WordPress the file says that it has downloaded.
Screen displays:
Unpacking the package.
Installing the plugin.
Plugin Installed successfully.
…but when I click on the activate button I receive the following error message:
The plugin does not have a valid header.
When I attempt to upload via Filezilla the file seems to upload correctly and it displays in my wpcontent directory correctly – however, when I log into WordPress the plug-in is not listed.
Please advise.
Angela
Please check with your host for help, or refer to the installtion instructions:
http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/tgsp-install/
Or you could try wordpress:
http://wordpress.org/search/does+not+have+a+valid+header
Jeff, I’m looking on this page but don’t see the plugin download link anywhere. Did I miss something? Thanks.
Whoops. Scratch that. I feel like a total n00b now
it is look easy and powerfull, i try it for free first
Hi,
I intended to upgrade form TGSP v.2.1 to v.2.1.1 on my WordPress 2.9.2 blog. When I try to activate the plugin I get the message “The plugin does not have a valid header.” Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Cris
There are several possible causes. If you search google for the error you’ll find some simple solutions.
I tried activating the new plugin, but it gave me an error and said that it didn’t have a properly formatted header. What’s wrong?
Could be a problem with the installation, the unzipping, etc.
Please search google for the exact error message received and you should be all set.
Or try uninstalling and reinstalling follow the tutorials.
Have a simple question. I’m installing the TGSP Pro version on
a domain using Fantastico. I’d like to install a theme at the same time.
Should I install the plugin first, then add the theme, oor the theme first?
I know some WP themes support widgits/plugins. Some don’t, so I
can’t figure which way to go . Ideas?
If you are a member of Traffic Voodoo or UTL you can ask the guys for help inside the membership site.
If not then the installation tutorials are a great resource:

But you can add TGSP to an existing site, or create a new site with a new them after you install it… so it doesn’t really matter either way.
Jeff,
LOVE the TGSP free version, so I upgraded to the Pro version of AIOSP and now I don’t have your page that shows me graphically how optimized my blog is. Can I re-install your pkg and just not activate the All in One SEO pack plugin?
Thanks in advance for your answer and time.

I wouldn’t worry about it… that’s just a measure of how many of the plugins you are configuring. If you configure all of them you’ll be all set and won’t need the optimized graphic.
thanks a lot Jeff, tried a few things on my wp blog, so far this is one of the “friendliest” and easy to use.
still working it out to the fullest though. thanks again
I installed the latest WP (3.1) but the plugin says I must upgrade to 2.7 before it will work???
Ed
Sorry, got the upgrade!
