SEO in SharePoint
- 0
I'm looking to optimize my websites search engine visibility. it was build with SharePoint using page layouts etc. Now, my question is, where can I input meta tags and page title etc? For instance, I put the home page with the title of "My Company - Home" but it shows up as the web address http://www.mycompant.com/Pages/default.apsx, so how can i fix that if in the page settings, it seems right.
I'm hoping that I am just missing something simple, but any help would be appreciated.Thank you very much.

Yes, you can add your customized title to the page by SharePoint Designer 2007.
Here are the detailed steps:
1. Open your site in SharePoint Designer 2007
2. Open the page you want to modify (e.g.: default.aspx) and change to Code View, navigate to the PlaceHolderPageTitle in the top of the page. And add your customer code in the tag.
Code Snippet<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
<SharePoint:EncodedLiteral runat="server" text="<%$Resources:wss,multipages_homelink_text%>" EncodeMethod="HtmlEncode"/> -
<SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server"/>
</asp:Content>
3. If you want to add a customized title to all the pages, you can modify the default.master file in _catalogs\mastepage folder. Navigate to the Title tag in the Head tag, and add your customer code in the Title tag.
Code Snippet<Title ID=onetidTitle><asp:ContentPlaceHolder id=PlaceHolderPageTitle runat="server"/></Title>Let me know if you have any further questions.

If that is the URL in your web application then you will need to change it in the Alternate Access mappings in Central Admin - Operations. - 0
That was just a sample URL I put in there.....

I used similar approach as you describe.
When I look the HTML that gets rendered, there is the title tag containing my customized title text but in addition there is a second title tag visible.
Any idea why this happens? It appears as if Sharepoint would render an additional title tag into the source. The master page as well as the page layouts I use do not have any markup.
Thanks for any hint.
