I’m looking all over, and trying to figure out why our descriptions look terrible in google. For example, if I google Comic Booked Articles, many of the posts show up with all kinds of garbled stuff in them….Comment count, the link to the post, though all messed up with % in it and stuff.
I’ve checked the search listings in wordpress, and they look fine. I’ve analyzed the URLs with different tools, and if i paste them into say, facebook, google + etc, the title and desc all look perfect. Am I missing something? Is something conflicting? I’m also getting a message in my permalinks settings area in wordpress. says htaccess not writeable, and it tells me to add this code….
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I don’t know if this is causing the problem, but I’m VERY scared to make any htaccess changes….Also, there are MANY posts that we do have showing up in search just fine. Some just all wonky, and we need help.
Thoughts????

I’m having the same exact problems. Now not only are different meta descriptions showing up in google, but it appears that almost ALL of our old posts are now not in the google index. Before, when you would search Comic Booked, and other related terms, there were literally hundreds of posts from the site. Now, we don’t even pick up more than a few spots on the front page.
I REALLY hope that Yoast can provide some insight on this. Unfortunately for us, this isn’t a simple let’s switch back to all in one seo. It is prime advertising season for us, and since the switch to WordPress SEO, or traffic is down 20%, and our impressions in google search keeps going down by the millions. Someone please help us. This is crazy.
