Mojoblog Post Titles, Meta and SERPS
Mojo’s about to get it’s meta on..
From a googler’s perspective most major Search Engines score or rank web content according to a variety of unique factors but all return our search queries with paged lists of websites that display title of the page found as well as either meta from the page header or an excerpt from the page that included your search term.
So from a blogger’s perspective to maximize your mojoblog search engine results position (SERPS) it’s been a common recommendation from SEO pros to name or title your posts with a relevant, meaningful phrase that encapsulates or summarizes the core intent of your content.
Mojo, being a derivative of WordPress does have the option to not only display meaningful titles but also an option to rename post titles that display differently in post trackbacks, it’s called the post slug. So, why doesn’t mojo display unique post titles in the header and why don’t your post slugs show up in search engine results?
Good URLS gone wild
Back since day 1 (com_jd-wp) there’s been issues with wrangling the jd-wp/mojo component so it displays page and post titles in the proper title position on joomla based websites. There’s been a bunch of work-arounds including our current hack found in our tutorials section: Making Mojo SEF but, what’s been needed was an easy-peasy way to get things to function seamlessly with little if any mojo user intervention.
mojoPUB
Within the next few weeks we will release our newest bit of mojo wonderment; our PrettyUrlBot more affectionately known as mojoPUB. MojoPUB is a joomla plugin (mambot) that will handle all the sniffing and querying needed to get your mojo inserted into the correct places within your joomla installation.
Our beta release will support both default joomla 1.0.13 and joomla 1.0.13 with search engine friendly URLS enabled. Soon afterwords we plan to add support for Marko’s OpenSEF component and other popular joomla SEF components following as time and developer participation progresses.
One small step for bloggers, One giant step for mojoBlog.
