Hello,
as I know there are several seo extensions available but which one
seems to
be the more effective as also the most easy to handle one?
I found these:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_HTML_Meta_and_Title http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Advanced_Meta http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_Metas
And I am sure there are some further more.
I don't think meta keywords are relevant for SEO anymore.
But "description" or "title" are useful to show info about the site in searchengine results and other places; and the browsers use this metadata, isn't it?
So here is my question: Which one do you use?
Wikipedia doesn't use any of them.
As far as I know browser don't and never did anything with meta-data, it was meant for search engines.
However search engines are smart enough to extract the title, keywords and description themselves. And many other things as well.
For example:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Steve+Jobs
- Google extracts the title, the summary (first paragraph of article), and section / related article links. And that's just what we see publically.
Being SEO friendly doesn't require installing a plugin by definition, some web applications are actually good at it out of the box. I think MediaWiki is one of them :)
