If you are like me, you like to have your Metatags like description and keywords filled with relevant content..

You could have Metatag generators for you website, or overviews of the content with a component like OpenSEF.
But what if you don’t use OpenSEF but sh404SEF?
In that case you could register and download the Joomla Metatag component form iJoomla.

But if you just want to see what pages still are in need of content for these Metatags.
In that case there is now a very simple but effective and easy to use modules, with two versions, one for the Joomla 1.0.x versions and for Joomla 1.5…

It is written by Dan Rahmel who also wrote two Books about Joomla!
and

And it is easy to install.

The module is installed as a normal module, but it is only for the administrator.
That is why it is listed under the Administrator part of the Modules and has to be published and positioned on the cPanel, which means that it will be visible on you administrator homepage (the first one after you login)

After publication you find the items without the Description and Keywords listed on a separate Tab on the Administrators page.

You can download the version you want from JoomlaJumpStart.com where you can even find more information on Joomla and the insights of Dan Rahmel.

There are people who will tell you that Metatags like the Description and Keywords are useless these days.. for Search Engine Optimization that is.

But try to work on writing good solid page descriptions and use just up to a maximum of 10 keywords in the keyword field.
Use the keywords you have used in the page, and in the Title and wait for the next index round of Google.

The Descriptions field mostly show up under you page title and should be written as a small advertisement to bring you the visitors you want.

Today I received an RSS Feed from Barrie North, one of the best educators on Joomla that I know off.

He brought you earlier the Joomla Template Tutorial and he is a moderator for the Joomla SEO Forum

And now he is Selling his Joomla Admin Manual to you with a discount!
He even tells you why you should buy his book or just use the Joomla Manual for 1.0.11

But let me tell you already, this book is more then just Joomla, it gives you more information on how to work with the system, optimizing it for Search Engines and shows you how to create a better website.

I may not agree or like some off the things he writes about, but he sure knows his Joomla Stuff and how to design Great SEO Templates.
And if you are serious about Building the best website you can for yourself or your customers, then this Joomla Admin Manual is really worth the little money he is asking for it.
