That' s the same. What you insert for categories, appears on each specific category's page.

You probably mean you want also insert ones for the main page? That's done when you browse in the ROOT category from admin, and click the edit link in the right upper corner.

Ok subseo, but i see the site description when i go to my index page, and i want to only search engines see that ...

Thanks

I'm not sure if I understand what you want exactly, because it seems to me you are well aware of the fileds meta-description and meta-keywords, judging from your first post where you say: Im saw that when i insert categories, i have a place where i can insert meta tags...but i want to insert the site keywords and description, to search engines index the site

Meta tags ARE THE PLACE to insert site keywords and description, but from what you said it seems to me that you say "i know about meta tags, but I want something else"??

One possibility, maybe you don't want a special meta tags for each category/page, but you want site-wide meta-description and meta-keywords, ie. those that will be the same on every page of the website? If that's what you are looking for, I don't know about any other way apart from what you already suggested - editing the template.

(Btw. I wouldn't suggest same meta description on each page, though I understand filling in a special one for each category is time-consuming task.)

I think? I know what you're talking about. When you go to browse categories then in root, click edit.

What you put in:
Category description: - Will show on the index page only

What you put in:
Category meta-description: - Will only show in the meta description for search engines and not on the page itself.

That's true for all categories.

Is that what you're talking of?

Ok I'm a liitle confused now. If you can show an example of these other sites it may help. :)

hi, in this site:

http://www.servalsource.com/

you see the site description and keywords...he only add this to index page ?

Thanks

[Greg]

Thanks Just don't put anything in Category description: That way it won't show on the page Just fill out the meta description and the keyword description. Try it out. That's the only way I can think of. :)

As I know what I posted will work. Which I suggest. You could open up index.tpl and delete or comment out this:
{if $category.description}
<div class="box" style="border: none;">{$category.description}</div>
{/if}

hi all, tried to understand what you are talking about.

there are three fields when you suggest category - description, meta-description, meta-keywords.
Description field is used to display a category description above categories on the page. You can set a description for every category of your links directory.
Meta description field is used for meta description of the page. Now there is an opinion search engines do not pay great attention to this meta tag. But I would recommend to use it for the pages as google bot takes it and display in search results. That's my own observation
And meta keywords field is used for page meta keywords. It is for bots. I'm not sure if it is so useful as it was 10 years ago :) Now search engines are much smarter than they were some years ago and I'm pretty sure that you can not cheat them

Thanks to clarify this..... :lol:

Actully I didnt even know how to do that I am used to php so I just put the text in my template I didnt consider it was making it site wide. Thanks to simon browsing my site and bringing it to my attention I have removed it and just added the description to the root page :).
