Yes! You can change the name of the campaign, or the value of utm_campaign
, from the plugin settings page.
Yes! When a new post is created, a random string will be generated for that post, but you can edit it to be whatever you want. However, it will be suffixed with a dash and a character to recognize the platform and map it to the correct campaign parameters.
No. This won't have any effect on your page's URL, permalink, permalink settings, or canonical URL. The vanity URL is simply another way of getting to your page but with the added Google campaign parameters automatically added. This plugin does not create any new pages, only redirects, so there won't be any duplicate content issues.
It will not harm your page's SEO. Since the vanity URLs redirect using 301 permanent redirects, the “page rank” is transferred to your original page, preserving your SEO value.
Yes, but in a good way! Using a URL shortener service like bit.ly or TinyURL gets a miniscule amount of “domain authority” when pages are redirected through their domains since it is ultimately their URL that gets shared on other websites. You actually gain this bonus back when it is your domain that gets shared instead.
If there is an image in the content of your article, it will find the first one and use that. Otherwise, it will fall back to using the featured image. If no image is associated with the article, then Pinterest will display all of the images found on the page, allowing the user to select which they want to use.
You can choose between lossless PNG images, Font Awesome 5 icons, or English text. The HTML is simple so you can easily change the appearance with CSS.
Yes! If you leave the "Campaign Term" blank in the metabox on your page, the utm_term
value will default to your page's "focus keyphrase" in Yoast SEO's metabox.
