WP- Header – Meta Titletag Positioning
-
Dear WP Developers and Template Designers,
You are all doing a wonderful, wonderful job.
WordPress is getting better by the day.
More beautiful layouted templates are available every day.
New Functionality is added with ever new plug ins on daily bases.Now Pleease…. Start to acknowledge some basic SEO rules:
The meta title tag MUST be the first meta tag after the charset tag!
The meta description tag MUST be the one following the title tag!
The meta keyword tag MUST be the third one of this trio!There is no doubt about even Google using the Title tag, so why put it so far down and hide it behind loads of other tags?
All in one SEO is one of the best SEO plug ins there is, but… it places the description tag and the keyword tag far below the rest of the meta tags, and adds TWO Really unnecessary comment tags into the header.
The header of someones website is not the place for egocentric behavior nor product advertising! I love the plug in; but creating an SEO plug in for such a huge community carries some responsibility as well: It should be SEO friendly, at least as far a common knowledge goes.
My comment about this matter on Ueberdose’s blog was answered with “doesn’t matter where the tags are placed as long as they are in the header”, while every serious working SEO manager will tell you otherwise!
SEO first than credits! I think every WP blog should have a credit page by default (instead or additional to the about page). Maybe someone will take the time to create a plug in that adds all design and plug in credits automatically to this “credits” page.

Since we can’t use plugins here, I’ll assume you’re addressing developers of themes for self-hosted blogs. You need to be in the forums at wordpress.org. This is wordpress.com.
