WordPress SEO Plugin Removes Stop Words from Permalinks
The WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast has a new setting that was turned on by default a couple of updates ago that affects your permalinks. It’s a little thing. But it could have a big impact on your SEO and whether your post gets the click in SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages).
In this quick video I’ll show you exactly what the change is, how your permalinks will appear, plus a couple of caveats with using this, or any plugin, that removes stop words from permalinks.

Only recently have I put this plug-in on to my wordpress site, I’m pleased the way it’s working, but not sure about the automatic fill in for the title and description as it don’t show any title or description in the index.
Thanks for showing this video, I’d never of known about it otherwise.
Mike, you need to fully optimize all of the settings in this plugin and submit the XML sitemap it generates to Google Webmaster Tools to get the full benefits of using it. Most folks think you just install and that’s it. Far from it. That’s why I made a full video course on it. There is no such thing as one-size-fits all with the settings. They need to be tailored to your site.
Thank you MaAnna for your reply, I’ve saved your site and will return
