    For my homepage, or whatever page you are on, it always “my sites page at my site”. e.g. “I like apples at apple review” THere is always the “at”?

    here is the code for the title in my header. I want to make it seo friendly with the actual title of the page I’m on. Any ideas?

    <title><?php wp_title(''); if (function_exists('is_tag') and is_tag()) { ?>Tag Archive for <?php echo $tag; } if (is_archive()) { ?> archive<?php } elseif (is_search()) { ?> Search for <?php echo $s; } if ( !(is_404()) and (is_search()) or (is_single()) or (is_page()) or (function_exists('is_tag') and is_tag()) or (is_archive()) ) { ?> at <?php } ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

    thank You

    try installing an SEO plugin like All in One SEO. It allows you to set the Title, Meta-description, and Meta-keywords on every single page if you care to. Or it can use default settings, which you can modify

    Ok I installed the plug in. I updated the title and description and keywords under the options panel. It changes it all perfectly. The problem is that the description and the keywords are halfway down the page source? I need them at the top. The title is at the top and changes perfectly! I can find the meta tags for description and keywords under the page source, but I can’t find them in the header, in order to move them to the top. Plus, the old description still stays?

    Now I looked around the plug in’s FAQ’s. They recommend trying it first on the default theme. I have not done that yet. If I were to try it out on default, would the theme I’m using now remember all of the tweaks I made to it, or would it get lost should I return to that theme?

    The main question, is can you help me figure out how to have the plugin’s meta tags at the top? I can remove the old description.

    let me know what ya need! Thank You!

    hi

    the tags appear further down the the Head because the plugin inserts them and that is the area in which WordPress inserts Head stuff that plugins insert

    You need to remove the old static meta-description from the Head altogether and let All in One SEO insert them.

    Why do you need them at the top? It doesn’t make any difference as far as SEO goes.

    If you switch themes as a test, yes, the settings will be remembered between themes. The SEO plugin doesn’t care what theme you are using. It simply inserts the code its supposed to in whatever the active theme is.

    I agree with Jordon,

    I’d like to know how to move Allin One Seo/Platinum SEO – generated Meta tags up towards the top of the header.

    The less the Googlebot has to work through the better I am sure.
