Since it is pretty common knowledge that Google makes no use of meta data 
fields at all other than occasionally replacing the test displayed under links 
in the search results page with the meta description and possibly making use of 
the author field I'm not entirely convinced of the need for doing any extensive 
work for this other than the bare minimum needed.

What benefit do you expect to get from having all the meta data fields set? It 
certainly won't help boost your search ranking and the keywords field is 
completely ignored by Google.

Django SEO - feedback

2011-05-22 Thread Evan Ingam
I am trying to evaluate whether to go with Django SEO (http://django-
seo.readthedocs.org/en/latest/contents.html) or to create my own by
embedding the relevant meta data fields as values in the models. Doing
a search across the threads, there are not too many discussions on
this. Looking for feedback on usage of Django SEO from this community
including whether there are any alternatives.
Cheers.
