In the last 12 months I upgraded my All in One SEO from the free version to the pro version. But now, because of the fantastic wealth of knowledge that WA and its members provide, I am confident in handling my own SEO affairs and decided not to proceed with the renewal of my pro subscription and thought it best to downgrade back to the free version.

So after the expiry of my pro subscription I didn't have any SEO. So, I reinstalled the free All in One SEO plugin and after two weeks of laziness went to my Google console to fetch as Google two articles I had written. When I went into my Google console I noticed that my site had no longer verification and I had to re verify my site. And this is probably why a couple of days prior to logging into my Google console I couldn't find any of my articles in a Google search. I gave up looking for articles when I couldn't find any of them even on page 10.

I have just re verified my website and will monitor its performance in the next month as it appears a lot of my blogs have dissappeared off the map.

MY ADVICE:

  • If you make any changes to SEO always check that your site is still verified in your Google console and other search engines straight after you make those changes.
  • If you don't already do so check you Google console, and other SE at least once a week.

Now I am guessing the problem is to do with downgrading from the pro version to the free version however, after experiencing this no identity crisis I will be checking my Google console EVERY DAY from now on.

On a final note, could the All in One SEO PRO version make so much difference compared to the free version?

Always a great idea to verify and be sure. Especially with Google. Maryann

Thanks, Maryann. By the way, how did you go with that theme the other day?

Good advice and good share.

Derek

Very good advice.

Hi Brad

Thanks for sharing!

Knowing what NOT to do, or what to look out for, is equally as important as knowing what to do!

This is part of what makes WA so extremely valuable.

Wishing you all of the very best!

Thanks, Sharlee,

It all happened when I went back to the free version of All in One. I cannot find my posts anywhere and some were doing well.

Hi Brad

Yes, that is a bummer, isn't it?

There was also talk on here, that between 1 and 10 August some people noticed some differences in ranking and visitors. It is suspected that Google rolled out another algorithm change, although Google is tight-lipped.

I hope your ranking will return and surpass its former glory! ;-)

Wishing you all of the very best + chocolate mousse in abundance! LOL!
