All in One SEO Pack: A Review
On my last project, I use All in One SEO Pack (AOSP) plugin (it is no longer maintained) to ease my client on changing their meta tag instead of editing the template directly. I ever used this plugin before but never take a look deeply in meta tag generated.
When I realize that my client’s website are not indexed by Google for almost two weeks, I started to find what caused the problem, because the web stat said that Google robots visited the web. In the end I realize that the problem is caused by the default page for my web hosting. I look at the HTML code and notice that sometime AOSP create meta tag description without any value in it. 
Even if it created a description, it was not reflecting the content because it only took for some words from the first paragraph. Therefore I am planning to do a hard coded meta tag in the template tag, while looking for another alternative for SEO plugin for WordPress.

Interesting. I’m finding that page titles generated by AOSP (over-riding the actual page titles) aren’t showing up… currently AT ALL - but it’s less than two weeks since I made changes.
By contrast, posts on my site (which I never alter with AOSP hit the top of Google within minutes).
Right now, I’m considering dumping AOSP. The only benefit it has given me is the ‘ability’ to have a 1 word title on the page and a 10 word description in the browser bar, but if that’s not SE visible, what actual benefit is it anyway?
TBH - I’m no geek, but I didn’t ‘get’ AOSP from the start. No explanations, no support.

I didn’t even know that that could happen. I’m just starting to get into SEO so thanks for that warning.

AOSP is no longer maintained. So you can search for another SEO plugin, or do your SEO hard-coded into your theme.

imho,
the best seo is your website content. period.
i have other website without any keyword/description meta tag and they still get indexed. that is certaintly not the problem.
could be google blacklist your client’s web for some reason??

@Denny Halim,
I don’t think that client’s website is blacklisted by Google. I finally came with my conclusion that the problem is caused by the default homepage created by web hosting service.
