| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>$strHtml .= $tab.'<title>'.htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()).'</title>'.$lnEnd;</nowiki>
| |

| − | Add your statict text for example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>$strHtml .= $tab.'<title> All about Canada - '.htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()).'</title>'.$lnEnd;</nowiki> | |
| − | | |
| − | 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 $document->getTitle();
| |
| − | | |
| − | Other important thing, is don't use symbols like <nowiki>":", "-", "$",</nowiki> etc for the title.

| | + | Search Engine Optimisation (often abbreviated to SEO) refers to the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a Website from search engines. A site that has been optimised according to SEO practices is said to be Search Engine Friendly (often abbreviated to SEF). |
| | | | |
| − | add your "H" tags between the title like this:
| + | {{dablink|The main article about SEO is [[Making your site Search Engine Friendly]], which lists steps that lead to a better search engine ranking.}} |
| | | | |
| − | | + | A somewhat important SEO technique that also helps your users is using [[Search Engine Friendly URLs]]. See [[Enabling Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs]] for more information. |

| |
| − | <h1><?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('page_title')); ?></h1>
| |
| | </div> | | </div> |
| − | </nowiki>
| + | [[Category:Landing Pages]] |
| − | | + | [[Category:Search Engine Optimisation]] |
| − | | |
| − | If you add more "H" tags between the joomla titles search into the tmpl directories for the code:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki> get('page_title')</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 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:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki> .componentheading h1 {
| |
| − | font-size: 16px;
| |
| − | }</nowiki>

| − | == Utilize RSS Feeds for Search Engines ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Some search engines allow you to submit feeds to them for utilization in their search capabilities. Yahoo! Site Explorer [siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com] is one such service. This is a powerful way for sites that regularly update their content to get relevant search placement. It can also be used for simpler sites that have fairly static pages. This procedure will explain how to create feeds for pages within your site, be it static or not.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''In Joomla! 1.5.3:'''
| |
| − | If you are not using sections and categories for your static pages, create a generic section for these static pages, such as <nowiki>"website content"</nowiki>.
| |
| − | Create separate categories for each static page.
| |
| − | Change your menu items from, for instance, Article Layout to Category Blog Layout.
| |
| − | Under the advanced parameters for the menu item, make sure that the show a feed link item is set to show.
| |
| − | Make sure the syndicate module is published. If it isn't go to the Extensions Menu, select Module Manager, select the new icon, select Syndicate and publish the module in the desired position. You can then view the site and copy the URLs for each feed to submit to each search engine.

| − | == Dynamic MetaDesc in a list of articles by category ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | When you view a list of articles by category, joomla put into the page the default configuration metadescription, but perhaps we want write the category description into the metatag for SEO reasons.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For this we need open the file:
| |
| − | includes/application.php
| |
| − | | |
| − | Search for this piece of code in the function &getParams:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>
| |
| − | $params->def( 'page_title' , $title );
| |
| − | $params->def( 'page_description', $description );
| |
| − | </nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Add this code before:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>
| |
| − | if (strcasecmp($_GET['view'],'category')==0) {
| |
| − | $description = $database->GetOne("SELECT description FROM #__categories WHERE id={$_GET['id']}");
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | </nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | It's ok, now the metadescription is more dynamic when you view a list of articles by category.

| − | | |
| − | If you need to change default article SEF suffix from .html to .htm (for example, if you need to move static site to Joomla and keep existing urls with .htm extensions), you need apply following patch to includes/router.php (working on Joomla 1.5.9, should work on other 1.5.x versions):
