Hello all,

Rob just brought up SEOs (Search Engine Optimizer). Now, we do have a SEO installed and we can use it. Though it's a very simple one. It just edits HTML tabs that search engines look for.

I'd like to ask for opinions on how we should configure it.

Below are the fields available and some comments from me. The SEO is configured on a per-page basis.

1) Title
Text to be present into <TITLE> tag. It is displayed in browser title bar. Search engines display it as a title of the document.

<daniel> I guess we'll just say "OOoAuthors" </daniel>

2) Meta Description Tag
Description of the document to be displayed right below title in search engine results. It is indexed and considered to be more important then the page content by several SE.

<daniel>
How about:
"OOoAuthors is the development site for OpenOffice.org documentation. We are a group of volunteer reviewers, writers, editors and translators. We always need more volunteers, and everyone is welcome, no matter what your level of knowledge or experience is."
</daniel>

3) Meta Keywords Tag
Keywords of the page to be indexed with. Though the relevance of listing meta keywords is of questionable value now it is useful to document what meta keywords you are focusing on for this page - for furture reference.

<daniel>
OOo; OpenOffice.org; OpenOffice; Open Office; OOoAuthors; Authors; volunteer; documentation; write; contribute; translate; open source; free software; Creative Commons
</daniel>

4) HTML Comment
Comments embedded into HTML header.

<daniel> Same as Meta Description Tag? </daniel>

5) Robot Tag
Robots meta tag value. Allows or denies indefing, following links, etc. for spiders indexing your content.

<daniel> Just pick the default: ALL </daniel>

6)  Distribution Tag
Distribution meta tag to designate time and area disribution of the document.

<daniel> Just pick the default: Global </daniel>

Cheers,
Daniel.
