SEO keywords

**GK User** Sun Sep 05, 2010 11:24 am

In Google webmaster tools I get unuseful words for keywords. How can I change these words? Is there any special position that I gave to place the desired keywords?

Hi

I think more advanced is to set the keys directly for article in article settings:

Hi

I do not know what is the file You are pasted here. I was talking about gk_head.php. You can place the keywords there. The code looks like that:

**teitbite** Sat Sep 11, 2010 10:44 am

Hi

Place it anywhere inside the code:

Code: Select all: <meta content="key,word,keyword" name="keywords">

**GK User** Sat Sep 11, 2010 11:26 am

ok..I do the same for title and meta description?
is this correct?

<?php

/*--------------------------------------------------------------

?>

<meta name="Description" content=>Car magazine blah blah"/>
<meta name="Keywords" content="car, magazine, drive, news"/>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/images/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/system/css/general.css" type="text/css" />
<link href="<?php echo $template_baseurl; ?>/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" />.....

thanks for your quick response!

Hi

As far as I remember using this for the second time should overwrite the previous one.

Please add "<" befor the "title".

Is it working?

**GK User** Thu Oct 14, 2010 3:33 pm

mystore template is not displaying Global Site Meta Descriptions or Global Site Meta Keywords either. I can hard code it in, but it should really work through the Joomla back end. is there a real fix for this other than hard coding it in?

Hi

Maby You did change it to not display. It works on my version.

**GK User** Fri Oct 15, 2010 6:46 pm

it's impossible that the wrong keywords are pulled by Google from the keywords meta tag since it's known that it completely disregard it, it's only used by other minor search engines,
if it's a quickstart installation, try to check if there is any page left (using a sitemap) of the original installation

**teitbite** Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:03 pm

Hi

Are You sure it wasn't indexed by Google befor You have changed it ?
