Joomla specific SEO / SEF tricks:
Posted by dextercowley in regards to correcting a problem when enableing Search Engine Friendly URLs in the Global Configuration of Joomla 1.5.2 and tested and verified to be true for 1.5.3 as well.
" ... edit configuration.php as var $live_site = 'http://www.mysite.com' "
Note that default configuration.php is var $live_site = ''
Add a static text in the <title>[edit]
Open the file: libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php
Search for the next piece of code:
$strHtml .= $tab.'<title>'.htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()).'</title>'.$lnEnd;
Add your statict text for example:
$strHtml .= $tab.'<title> All about Canada - '.htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()).'</title>'.$lnEnd;
The text into the <title> tag is very important for the search engines.
If you need obtain a great search results for the word "All about Canada" I recommend your put the static text before of the $document->getTitle();
Other important thing, is don't use symbols like ":", "-", "$", etc for the title.

Add heading tags in the titles for more relevance[edit]
Search engines give a special relevance to the senteces between a "H" tag like <h1>, <h2> or <h3>.
I you want put a "H" tag to joomla 1.5 you need edit some files:
Open components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog.php
seach for this piece of code (Line 5):
<div class="componentheading<?php echo $this->params->get('pageclass_sfx');?>"> <?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('page_title')); ?> </div>
add your "H" tags between the title like this:
<div class="componentheading<?php echo $this->params->get('pageclass_sfx');?>">
<h1><?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('page_title')); ?></h1>
</div>
If you add more "H" tags between the joomla titles search into the tmpl directories for the code:
get('page_title')
And add the "H" tags.
Remember normalize the font-size of the "H" tags using css, for example
Edit your template css and add something like:
.componentheading h1 {
font-size: 16px;
}
