Meta tags content for search engine friendly
Because this site is just born, I have to maximize it’s exposure to the internet community. Most of the visitor might come from the search engine. So I have to make this site a search engine friendly as possible.
As you might know already, wordpress do not include some important meta tags in the header such as the keywords and the description. So, to make a wordpress site a search engine friendly, we have to include the meta tags ourselves.
Fortunately, there are many plugins we could use to create the meta tags in the header of every posts pages.
I am using AutoMeta to create meta keywords in this site header. For your information, AutoMeta could list all the important keywords from the content of your articles automatically each time you save or publish. So, this makes my job a little easier. At first I thought, it will create all the keywords from all published articles, but it does not. In fact I have to open all the posts in the editor one by one and save it.
To create the meta description, I use Head Meta Description. This plugin is so easy to setup. Just upload the script into your plugins folder and activate it, and you already have the meta decription in every posts pages.
Other meta tags are not so important to the search engine, so I might insert it in some other time.

I’ve been asked by several people to create a “sweep” function that could update all existing posts, but this would only fill the existing posts with sub-optimal tags.
The tags that Autometa can generate are a good guide, but they’re not perfect, which I why I recommend that users hand-finish their tags before publication, and why I’ve not implemented the “sweep”.
If someone else wants to do so, then I’ll include it with the code.

IMHO, it is best if you could include it. How if a blogger have hundreds of pages to update? Lucky me, I have only 40+ posts
. If you include it, at least, every posts have their own keywords with just one click after installation as a basic.
After all, it is a very good script!
