Ken_Shea Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Is this to be placed in the default.htm of the root directory? The "Title" shows when analyzing but nothing else The This is what I put between <head> </head> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotclutch Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 there's no default.htm for osCommerce. The homepage title you can edit / set in includes/languages/english.php, look for // page title approx line 50 of the file. Categories, manufacturers and product titles and meta description you can set in the Admin when you edit the individual pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using the CE version, it has modules built-in to handle the titles and descriptions. Otherwise, you should install HeaderTags SEO.

Jack_mcs Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I think that version has the built-in modules I mentioned. Look in admin->Header Tags for them.

MrPhil Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I had never seen a title meta tag before this thread. Apparently you can specify different titles for a page via <meta name="title" content="My Title" /> and <title>My Other Title</title> . https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21076201/difference-between-meta-name-title-tag-and-title-title-tag discusses the difference between the two, although there seems to be debate over who actually uses the meta variety. That was several years ago, so maybe things have changed. Anyway, does having a meta title really have a significant impact on SEO? Is it worth the bother?

Jack_mcs Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 @MrPhilGood catch. I didn't look at the example very closely. I saw the meta keywords and figured it was for SEO. The meta title is not used by any search engines for SEO that I am aware of. But the title tag, as I'm sure you know, is quite important. It sets the theme for the page it is on and all search engines use it. I suppose the meta title might be used by some social site but most have unique names, like twitter:title, so it seems unlikely.
