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
Simple CAPTCHA
Permalink Migrator
Google Analyticator
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:
Upgrade TGSP To A Newer Version
| IMPORTANT: IonCube Loader Error Message – This step can literally take less than one minute if you can do it by hand, or a few minutes if you ask your web host provider to do it for you. TIP: Don’t ever spend more than a few minutes trying to fix hosting issues on your own… always ask your hosting company for help…. that’s what you pay them for.Either way…a few minutes of your time for a killer piece of SEO software like my Traffic Getting SEO Plugin™ is a fair trade… I’m sure you’ll agree once you see how easy it is to use.You only need to worry about this “Ioncube Loader” step if you get an “IonCube error” while trying to activate the Traffic Getting SEO Plugin™.If you dont’ see the error, you don’t need to worry about this step… just skip it.If you do get the “IonCube Loader” error message…Here’s how to fix it:
How to manually enable the IonCube loader on select cPanel web hosts If you want to enable IonCube yourself (For advanced users), download the loaders from Ioncube’s Website. Make sure you put a php.ini file in the Wordpress folder, and the wp-admin folder. If you aren’t able to fix it yourself, simply contact your hosting provider and ask them to. Better Yet… just use one of the recommended web hosts listed below and you’ll either not have to worry about the error, or you’ll be able to fix the error yourself in less than a minute. |
You have two options for first time installations of TGSP:
1. Upgrade your existing wordpress blog to the newest 2.9 version. But if you already have wp plugins installed in your existing blog… you may wish to simply install my Traffic Getting SEO Plugin in a brand new blog (see #2 below).
Click here for instructions on how to upgrade your blog to Wordpress 2.9
2. Install a new wordpress blog by hand, or by using the cpanel Fantastico installation system.
Here is a tutorial on how to install a Wordpress 2.9 blog with Fantastico.
Note: Using Fantastico is the fastest and easiest way to install wordpress. No database setup, no file uploads… push a button and Fantastico does all the work for you.
If you don’t want to mess around with the Ioncube loader problem at all…
Use these webhosts:
http://www.lunarpageshostingproviders.com/
http://www.HostGatorSpecialOffer.com/
Or you can use these hosts and enable ioncube yourself in less than 1 minute:
Bluehost recently made some changes to their own software that may cause isssues, but they can help you set it up.
Hosting accounts to Avoid (they don’t work well with the TGSP):
Godaddy

Once you have upgraded your wordpress blog to version 2.7 or above… or installed a new one with Fantastico…

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.
Titus Siswandono // Nov 22, 2009 at 4:57 pm
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:

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?
Duane Spears // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:14 pm
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.

Underground Affiliate // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:14 pm
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.
Kent // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:17 pm
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!
Mike Kench // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:19 pm
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.
The Rhodes Brothers // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:20 pm
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.
Roland Frasier // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:23 pm
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
Peter Reuter // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:24 pm
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/
Raymond // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:28 pm
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.
Lorenzo // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:29 pm
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

jeremy young // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:39 pm
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.
Andrew Murphy // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:42 pm
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,

Mike // Apr 7, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Can you tell us what it does, so we can decide if we want to take a chance on it?
Thanks.

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!
admin // Apr 8, 2009 at 12:03 am
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.

Thank you for the great software! I’ve been using your blog software for months, with excellent results.

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.
Lawrence // Apr 8, 2009 at 12:16 am
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/
Raymond // Apr 8, 2009 at 12:29 am
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.
Jeremy // Apr 8, 2009 at 12:39 am
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.
Lee // Apr 8, 2009 at 12:49 am
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!!!

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

Dan // Apr 8, 2009 at 4:34 am
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!

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!

Vito // Apr 8, 2009 at 10:11 am
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.

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.
Vickie // Apr 8, 2009 at 11:50 am
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.
Tom Armstrong // Apr 8, 2009 at 12:43 pm
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.
Michael Kehinde // Apr 8, 2009 at 12:57 pm
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

Work from home ideas // Apr 8, 2009 at 1:28 pm
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.
scott // Mar 17, 2010 at 8:24 am
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.
Jeff Johnson // Mar 17, 2010 at 8:47 am
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.
Rod // Apr 8, 2009 at 1:44 pm
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.
Hamant Keval // Apr 8, 2009 at 2:13 pm
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.
Cletus // Apr 8, 2009 at 2:41 pm
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.
Tim Warren // Apr 8, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Great Stuff Jeff! Super simple to install and setup.
Once again… You Rock!
Thanks,
Tim
Gregory // Apr 8, 2009 at 3:42 pm
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

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!
Brian Lyssy // Apr 8, 2009 at 5:33 pm
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.
Greg // Apr 8, 2009 at 5:39 pm
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.
Tracy // Apr 8, 2009 at 6:52 pm
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,
Tracy
Ryan Wegman // Apr 8, 2009 at 7:06 pm
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

Susan // Apr 8, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Would any of this be good on my website to attract buyer leads to my business.
Allen Williams // Apr 8, 2009 at 9:09 pm
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
Burton Kent // Apr 8, 2009 at 10:41 pm
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
Arman Vakili // Apr 8, 2009 at 11:23 pm
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.
Paul Widdershoven // Apr 9, 2009 at 7:41 am
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.
James // Apr 9, 2009 at 9:58 am
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.
Bubba Jones // Apr 9, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Will this product work with Blogger.com?
Jeff Johnson says: No, wordpress 2.7 or greater only.
Pete Sharpe // Apr 9, 2009 at 8:07 pm
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”
Charles Parharm // Apr 10, 2009 at 12:14 am
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.
Jason // Apr 10, 2009 at 2:51 pm
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/
ML // Apr 10, 2009 at 4:12 pm
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.
Richard // Apr 11, 2009 at 1:59 am
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.
seho // Apr 11, 2009 at 6:28 pm
ok..upgrading to 2.7 is confusing the hell out of me, is there any simple video tutoriar for this instruction?

Matt // Apr 12, 2009 at 12:06 am
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.
Phil Eugene // Apr 12, 2009 at 12:51 pm
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
James // Apr 13, 2009 at 2:39 pm
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.

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

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:

Morten Therkildsen // Apr 17, 2009 at 12:21 pm
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
George // Apr 17, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Will your SEO Plugin work with Blogger, or just WordPress?
Jeff Johnson: Only wordpress.
Tom // Apr 20, 2009 at 8:15 am
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.
Will // Apr 21, 2009 at 7:07 pm
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
Johm Bandy // Apr 21, 2009 at 7:36 pm

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
Thomas Lechner // Apr 22, 2009 at 1:56 am
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.

Michael Worthington // Apr 22, 2009 at 12:06 pm
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
Craig // Apr 22, 2009 at 1:35 pm
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.
Craig // Apr 22, 2009 at 6:01 pm
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.
Mel // Apr 23, 2009 at 1:06 am
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…

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.
Ken // Apr 23, 2009 at 7:13 pm
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.
Thomas // Apr 30, 2009 at 1:59 am
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.
Ian // May 1, 2009 at 11:35 am
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.
kayongblogger // May 5, 2009 at 1:02 pm

Lynne Gordon // May 7, 2009 at 5:23 pm
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.
Jackie Anderson // May 9, 2009 at 12:01 am
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!
Thomas // May 12, 2009 at 1:59 pm
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.
Star "SEO Student" Riley // May 14, 2009 at 4:20 pm
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 .
Jimmy // May 14, 2009 at 4:29 pm
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.
Lee - Hate Stretch Marks? // May 14, 2009 at 7:32 pm
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:

LA // May 14, 2009 at 8:39 pm
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.
Ken // May 14, 2009 at 8:50 pm
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.
Mike // May 15, 2009 at 1:26 am
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).

Lee - Hate Stretch Marks? // May 15, 2009 at 4:51 am
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!
Helena // May 15, 2009 at 5:25 am
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.
soladood // May 18, 2009 at 10:23 pm
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:)
Robert // May 19, 2009 at 12:58 pm
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.
Carlos // May 19, 2009 at 11:45 pm
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!
Claude // May 20, 2009 at 4:34 pm
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.

But I will soon and I will try your SEO plugin

Geno Santos // May 21, 2009 at 2:26 pm
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!

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.
Hank // May 23, 2009 at 7:44 pm

I shall watch my stats with anticipation over the next few weeks.
J. R. Reece // May 25, 2009 at 8:18 am
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.
Lee // May 25, 2009 at 10:25 am
Thanks jeff, i look forward to useing this and testing it
Kacey // May 25, 2009 at 12:14 pm
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.
Karen // May 25, 2009 at 1:22 pm
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.
Rolando // May 25, 2009 at 6:05 pm
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.
soladood // May 25, 2009 at 6:53 pm
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:

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.
Freddy // May 25, 2009 at 11:15 pm
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.
Steve M // May 26, 2009 at 3:08 am
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”
Steve M // May 26, 2009 at 3:16 am
Well I just reread the email and I’ll stand over here int eh corner with the dunces hat on for a moment.
Nancy Hendrickson // May 26, 2009 at 10:45 am
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.
Trevor Dudley // May 26, 2009 at 8:57 pm
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?

YOUnique Wealth // May 27, 2009 at 3:56 am
Thanks for the updated plugin. I have downloaded your WP blogs before and find them to be easy and convenient. Thanks again!
ken // May 27, 2009 at 5:36 am
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.

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.
Tom // May 27, 2009 at 8:07 am
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 // May 27, 2009 at 9:54 am
Jeff, It was sure fun installing it. Very intuitive to WordPress. IF it does what you say it will do, I’ll be ecstatic!
Murthy // May 27, 2009 at 11:27 am
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.
Bob // May 27, 2009 at 11:58 am
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.
Doc // May 27, 2009 at 12:55 pm
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.
Rich // May 27, 2009 at 2:17 pm
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 eBay Auctions // May 27, 2009 at 4:43 pm

Now what?
Jeff Johnson says: Please try to download it again.
Keith // May 27, 2009 at 10:41 pm
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.
luhur // May 28, 2009 at 2:11 pm
‘Hi Jeff it’s great plugins and I hope it’s have a great result too I am looking forward to this! Thanks Jeff!
Larry Perry // May 28, 2009 at 2:29 pm
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.
Ian // May 28, 2009 at 2:59 pm
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
KC // May 28, 2009 at 3:55 pm
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:

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.

Or contact your hosting provider for help.
Adam Garcia // May 28, 2009 at 5:18 pm
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.
Adam Garcia // May 28, 2009 at 5:25 pm
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.
Adam Garcia // May 28, 2009 at 5:31 pm
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.
Rob // May 28, 2009 at 8:39 pm
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.
Rob // May 28, 2009 at 9:08 pm
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.
Rob // May 28, 2009 at 9:37 pm
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.
Rob // May 28, 2009 at 10:15 pm
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.
Tom // May 28, 2009 at 11:19 pm
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.
Knilles // May 29, 2009 at 1:36 am
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

/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

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:

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.
mike // May 29, 2009 at 7:07 am
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.
Digital Photography // May 29, 2009 at 11:29 am
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.
Tom // May 29, 2009 at 12:07 pm
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.
Rob // May 29, 2009 at 12:14 pm
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.
Sandeep // May 29, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Jeff,
Thanks for your free plugin… I would like to the 19 blog tweaks that are applied..could you let us know
Tom // May 29, 2009 at 3:23 pm
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.
Simon // May 29, 2009 at 3:31 pm
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.
Simon // May 29, 2009 at 3:32 pm
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.
Singing Steve Bermann // May 29, 2009 at 3:44 pm
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!
Simon // May 29, 2009 at 4:09 pm
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
Tim // May 29, 2009 at 7:22 pm
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.
sarah flanigan // May 29, 2009 at 7:46 pm
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
Sandeep // May 30, 2009 at 6:48 am
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
Becky // May 30, 2009 at 10:00 pm
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.
Trac // May 30, 2009 at 11:37 pm
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.

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

Tom // May 31, 2009 at 2:22 pm
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.
Brenda // May 31, 2009 at 4:12 pm

Jeff–
While the rest of the world relies on SEO that may have worked in 2005, you’re leading the way with tools and methods that provide results today.
It will take the rest of the SEO world two years to catch up with what you’re doing right now.
Staying ahead of the curve will continue to guarantee your success.

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.
Ian // Jun 1, 2009 at 9:32 am
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.

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.
Rich // Jun 1, 2009 at 1:37 pm
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.
Geoff // Jun 1, 2009 at 2:41 pm
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.
David // Jun 1, 2009 at 3:37 pm
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.

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.
Steve // Jun 2, 2009 at 10:38 am
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.
Robert // Jun 2, 2009 at 12:08 pm
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.”
Bal // Jun 2, 2009 at 12:54 pm
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.
Superdevo // Jun 2, 2009 at 8:03 pm
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.
Pieter van Schalkwyk // Jun 2, 2009 at 10:23 pm
Great Plugin. Thanks it works great. Installed it quickly wthout a glitch
Stanley // Jun 3, 2009 at 6:48 am
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.

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

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.
Simon // Jun 3, 2009 at 2:12 pm
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.
Don // Jun 3, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Freddy Escobar // Jun 3, 2009 at 8:38 pm
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.

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.
alex // Jun 3, 2009 at 10:23 pm
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)”
Kim // Jun 4, 2009 at 1:17 am
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.
Gossip // Jun 4, 2009 at 4:25 am
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).
bob // Jun 4, 2009 at 4:59 am
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?
Michael Sherriff // Jun 4, 2009 at 8:29 am
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.
myndconsulting // Jun 4, 2009 at 9:35 am
Thanks man. I’ll get this working asap.
Mike // Jun 4, 2009 at 12:29 pm
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.
Kim Andersen // Jun 4, 2009 at 1:09 pm
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

Can someone help me! I am going crazy!
Tom // Jun 4, 2009 at 5:57 pm
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?
Tom // Jun 4, 2009 at 6:34 pm
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.
Freddy // Jun 4, 2009 at 9:43 pm
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.
gary // Jun 6, 2009 at 1:50 am
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.
Stas // Jun 6, 2009 at 5:59 am
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.
linda // Jun 6, 2009 at 12:09 pm
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.
Richard Ruhling // Jun 7, 2009 at 10:37 am
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.
soladood // Jun 7, 2009 at 12:58 pm
“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
soladood // Jun 7, 2009 at 9:11 pm
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
GF Back // Jun 8, 2009 at 4:53 pm
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!
Rich // Jun 9, 2009 at 10:08 am
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.
Rich // Jun 9, 2009 at 12:12 pm
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.
Anu // Jun 10, 2009 at 11:03 am
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.”
Anu // Jun 10, 2009 at 10:33 pm
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.

Paul Maclauchlan // Jun 11, 2009 at 8:02 pm
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.

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!
Ali // Jun 11, 2009 at 9:49 pm
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.
Raghav // Jun 11, 2009 at 11:53 pm
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.

Lawrence // Jun 12, 2009 at 12:37 pm
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:

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.
Robert // Jun 14, 2009 at 3:05 pm
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.
Robert // Jun 14, 2009 at 10:52 pm
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.
Robert // Jun 14, 2009 at 11:19 pm
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.”
Ken // Jun 15, 2009 at 10:08 am
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):

Larry // Jun 15, 2009 at 12:44 pm
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.
Scott // Jun 15, 2009 at 11:36 pm
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:

Stuart // Jun 16, 2009 at 8:40 am
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.
Tim // Jun 16, 2009 at 10:03 pm
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.
uri // Jun 18, 2009 at 12:55 pm
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.
Rich // Jun 19, 2009 at 11:53 am
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?

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.

Gene Wolff // Jun 24, 2009 at 3:23 am
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.
S Feather // Jun 25, 2009 at 8:29 am
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.
Manny Sousa // Jun 26, 2009 at 3:10 pm
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.
Teri // Jun 28, 2009 at 8:16 pm
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.
Pete // Jun 30, 2009 at 2:44 pm
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”.
Teri // Jun 30, 2009 at 4:58 pm
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.
Maria // Jun 30, 2009 at 8:31 pm
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.

How do I fix this problem? I must tell you, I’m new at all this!

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.
Michael // Jul 1, 2009 at 5:56 pm
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.

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.
If you aren’t an affiliate yet you may apply here:

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.
Eric // Jul 23, 2009 at 4:08 pm
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. “
Lori // Jul 25, 2009 at 6:30 pm
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?

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.
Kirby Horton // Aug 1, 2009 at 11:59 am
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

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)
Michael // Aug 12, 2009 at 7:35 pm
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.
Nicole // Aug 13, 2009 at 12:20 pm
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.
Web Traffic // Aug 18, 2009 at 1:35 am
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.
Lori // Aug 18, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Thanks for the update!
Valeriu // Aug 19, 2009 at 7:15 am
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
Dez Futak // Aug 19, 2009 at 3:54 pm

Best regards,

Valeriu // Aug 20, 2009 at 6:04 am
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

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.
Gerry // Aug 20, 2009 at 9:09 pm
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.

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.
Saikat // Aug 24, 2009 at 9:21 am
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.

Forexbody // Aug 24, 2009 at 5:39 pm
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.

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”.

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!
Walter
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).”

Richard // Aug 27, 2009 at 7:54 pm
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.

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

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!

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.
Andrio // Sep 2, 2009 at 12:57 am
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
Anne-Berit Rayner-Battle // Sep 2, 2009 at 4:13 am
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”.
Craig // Sep 2, 2009 at 10:36 pm
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.
Kirk @ Affiliate Network Marketing // Sep 3, 2009 at 3:19 pm
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…

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.
Regards,
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..
Rod Alley // Sep 6, 2009 at 12:15 pm
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!
Pam // Sep 7, 2009 at 2:44 pm
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.
Alan // Sep 7, 2009 at 5:44 pm
awesome stuff dood. I am new at this and am like a sponge.Thanks for caring and sharing

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.
Vivien // Sep 8, 2009 at 1:09 am
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!
kelly // Sep 8, 2009 at 8:28 am
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
Olive Oyl Costume // Sep 8, 2009 at 9:54 am
Awesome stuff. I’ve seen about 35% increase in traffic since installation.
Thanks Jeff.
Cristian // Sep 8, 2009 at 9:55 am
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).
Cristian // Sep 8, 2009 at 10:31 am
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.
Cristian // Sep 8, 2009 at 11:46 am
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?
Trump Network // Sep 8, 2009 at 1:53 pm
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!

worked. with my laptop.
Jayson Parker // Sep 8, 2009 at 5:32 pm
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,
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.

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.
Michael // Sep 10, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Didn’t do the trick for me. Oh well, thanks anyway.
Paul // Sep 11, 2009 at 2:34 pm
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 .
J. Lamar Ferren // Sep 11, 2009 at 9:34 pm
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.
J. Lamar Ferren // Sep 11, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Got it! Thank you Jeff.

Cris // Sep 13, 2009 at 4:56 pm
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/
Scott // Sep 16, 2009 at 12:59 am
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.
Warney // Sep 16, 2009 at 3:11 am
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 successfu
