Headings and Titles
Headings and Titles are significant to all search engines.
Where do I enter Metatags?
You can enter your Meta Title, keywords and description on a page by page basis.
META keywords
Do enter keywords that you have used on your page. Do NOT enter META keywords that are not used on your page. If you want to add a new META keyword, then also add it to the content of your page
Natural URLS and SEO filenames
More experienced users can get a little more out of their SEO by tweaking the URLs and filenames a little.
