Does anyone else notice that sometimes Yoast SEO Analysis gets it worng? I just published a post on my niche site, and SEO'd it carefully. I got the green light, so it is supposed to be well SEO'd, but Yoast also warned me of this:
Problems (4) The focus keyword doesn't appear in the first paragraph of the copy. Make sure the topic is clear immediately.
The exact-match keyword density is 0%, which is too low; the focus keyword was found 0 times.

A meta description has been specified, but it does not contain the focus keyword. The focus keyword 'Thai Kaeng Phed Ped Yang' does not appear in the SEO title.
Improvements (3) You have not used the focus keyword in any subheading (such as an H2) in your copy.
The images on this page do not have alt attributes containing the focus keyword.
The SEO title is too short. Use the space to add keyword variations or create compelling call-to-action copy.
ALL of these are untrue! I double and triple checked, and these warnings are totally unfounded!
Has anyone else noticed this err in the latest version of Yoast All in One SEO for WordPress?
