    Hi Kieran,
    I would agree, but meta keywords should always been included for the sake of less than 500 bytes of code. Keywords will not dimish the users experience, especially if it can be used with inline links, which will enhance a users broswsing experience (providing of course, it's not over done)

    I would also agree that for SEO purposes Word Press is far better than Joomla for sites such as blogs. However I would argue that PaintBall asked about validation, to which both keywords and validation can fit comfortably into a CMS such as Joomla.

    Hey Byron

    Thanks for the reply.

    I don't agree on the Joomla points. If you visit their forum you will see countless people asking how to include unique keywords for their category pages. There is no clean way of doing this. The best way is to use the plugin shsef404 and I don't think its great as you have to give up good page titles.

    Joomla really is a nightmare when trying to create unique pages in terms of page titles / meta descriptions.

    That has been my experience anyway and I spent a good few months on joomla.org talking with people on the SEO forum and there were a lot of other people having the same issues.

    Thanks

    shsef404 doe make Joomla easier to optimise, but you can use plenty of other addons to make page titles appear in the format of H1 TAG | Page Title | SECTION | CAT or whatever way you want. I think the developers tried to make an all in one CMS, which is all in one, validates and has reasonable SEO features, I agree, as I said for websites such as blogs, which require certain additional features, Joomla is inadequate.

    Default Is validation important ?

    Validation is a process of checking your documents against a formal standards, such as guidelines published by the world wide web consortium (W3c) for HTML and XML-derived webpages. Consider validation like Microsoft word for a moment. Imagine you have wrote a 5000 words essay and any spelling mistakes made would mark you down for that essay. To make sure this doesn't happen you would use a spell checker to check grammar and spelling , you could also check it yourself, but a spell checker is more accurate. Validation is like a spell checker it is a precise process and is very reliable.

    You should validate your webpages because by doing this, you know you are following web standard set by W3, validation in many people's eye is a real pain.This should not be the case. Validation is a very important factors of you code and design.I wouldn't be able to thank it enough because it can save you from serious errors occuring in your code as well spot potential issuses that doesn't necessarily harm anything but pose a threat.Validation also shows to your visitors that you have taken care in coding your webpages and show that you follows standards set.
