Overall Satisfaction with Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins
I use it for my business blogging needs at Tripawds.com. We are on a WordPress Multisite platform and we use Yoast for five featured blogs.
I also use it in my freelance blogging assignments on various websites.
In all cases, it has helped us achieve better visibility as bloggers, and refined our writing into a more concise and SEO-friendly format.

- Improves writing skills. By helping to identify long sentences and passive tone, our writing has improved by leaps and bounds. This applies to print writing assignments as well.
- Points out important article features we may have overlooked. By telling us when we have forgotten to apply photo credits, internal links, etc., we set our articles up for greater visibility on the web.
- Helped us achieve better page rank with Google. When our blog rankings fell to disappointing levels, we installed Yoast and quickly saw a return to previous rankings. Although we still need to go back and refresh pre-Yoast content, we are still much better off than we were without it.
- Yoast does not account for scholarly or technical language. I wish there was a way to identify what type of tone the article will have (such as when uploading an article to Grammarly.com).
- I wish Yoast could also make it easier to refresh old content with SEO-friendly features, though I'm guessing this is probably impossible.
- Yoast's "Ease of Reading" feature is helpful but sometimes I feel it's forcing me to write to a lowest common denominator, whichy my community is not.
- Made us more conscientious about the importance of following good SEO practices.
- Yoast has helped our little community achieve a higher page ranking for our five featured blogs.
- Although our non-profit budget is small, we can easily see the ROI on investing in Yoast. We plan on continuing to use it for a long time.
