Question is, if my title tag and meta description is getting some of content or text from DB how would this effect SEO?   e.g. Isuzu D-Max 4x2 LS MT - Specs, Specification and Price List  Where "Isuzu D-Max 4x2 LS MT" was fetch from DB, thus this still count as complete or good title?  TIA!

I am developing a website which is fully dynamic. If I load metas and other information of the website from database, will it affect my website's SEO?

There was a spurious edit to the  tag that I declined, but also noticed that the original  wiki was copy/pasted verbatim from the .  This is a  project, but the website itself doesnt' appear to be (based on the  page).  In this case, is this considered an appropriate use of information (since it is after all a open-source project, and the text from the main page of the website undoubtedly is not only an excellent description but is useful for the curl group as well)?  Or is this something that isn't technically appropriate and should be rewritten (not by me, as I have no clue what it should say).

Trying to solve  I tried to find the complete list of all available/possible default "post meta" tags/entries. I couldn't find this info documented anywhere. Any pointers?

From this quote from , referring to the recent mass retagging here:  It left questions untagged. Yeah, it's meta, so there's required tags but those required tags are meta tags... literally. If a question doesn't have any tags other than the required tag, it's untagged! We don't prevent this, but maybe we should.  Do you agree with the point of view that questions here only consisting of required tags are effectively untagged? Should we prevent questions here on meta from only having one or more of the required tags , , , or ? I'm neutral about it; I just want to see what others think.

While trying to edit  I noticed the title vanished:        This is for inline edit, in the  there's no title and no tags as well.  Most likely the cause is the first revision of that question hard deleted as can be seen in the , but still I'd like to get title and tags back when editing.

When you search on any of the SE network sites, with a tag (so that a description is shown); it shows the tag info content box, with the highlight-search-term span elements.  For eg. I searched ; ; and the results are as shown:                  Notice the &lt;span class='search-highlight'&gt; boxes around searched tag terms.

SEO seems to be a subject surrounded by both myths and varying opinions. Nevertheless, I would like to know if you have an opinion on how important it is to have semantically correct XHTML, that is, well-formed and valid XHTML, with regards to SEO.

I am trying to use &lt;h1&gt; tags on my blog for the post title and came across one problem. Title is hyperlinked.  Case 1:  &lt;h1&gt; &lt;a href=""&gt; xyz &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h1&gt;   case 2:  &lt;a href=""&gt; &lt;h1&gt; xyz&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;/a&gt;    Which one is better in terms of SEO?

What is the syntax to use for searching the text of the questions that I've posted? i.e. Limit the search to just the questions that I've asked and just the Title/Subject/Question part of it....

Not long ago I noticed a blessed change that is obfuscating question title and body when it's deleted after getting valid spam flags.  Question title becomes:     This question was marked as spam or offensive and is therefore not shown   And body:     This question was marked as spam or offensive and is therefore not shown - you can see the revision history for details.   Great, however I saw now that the page title itself still showing the nasty spam:        Can my innocent soul be saved from seeing such horrible things, please?

I searched through both Gaming's Meta and here, and couldn't find an answer to this. I was reviewing my questions on  this morning and I noticed that in certain questions like , the &lt;title&gt; tag on that page shows:     metroid prime corruption - What is the effect of falling to your death in Metroid Prime 3? - Gaming - Stack Exchange   So it's like the first tag (s/-/ /g) is prepended to the question title to make up the &lt;title&gt; tag. Why is this? Because it happens , and , but it   .  What is causing this behavior and where can I read more about it?  EDIT: Now with Freehand Everything:

Titles should be completely independent of tags.  A good title tells an expert whether they want to read the full question all by itself. I know this has come up multiple times before, before, but in each case, the discussion has seemed to have turned into a different question.  For example,   really asks, &quot;Don't we need tags in titles to help with SEO&quot;? So, &quot;no, we don't, because we add the top tag (or two, in some cases) to the crawler results,&quot; is correct, but it appears that people are interpreting that to mean that people generally can (or should) omit key terms from their titles if they exist in the tags.  To be clear:  I agree that we should never force a tag into a title if it's not helpful;  should NOT have &quot;[Baking]:&quot; jammed into the title, because it adds nothing to a reader's understanding of what it's about, BUT...  Nothing should be left out of a title just because it exists in the tags.   Trilogy examples:   , ,   examples: , , , The problem with all of these is that without a language, OS, or game title, they fail to convey whether you care to read the question, because you need to read the tags to even figure out if you work with the language or own the game in question. A term being in a tag in no way reduces the need for it in the title.  Tags are great for filtering, but a title is supposed to function like a headline. This is a good headline:  This is not very good headline:  Titles, like headlines, are BIG AND BOLD on the front and other pages.  So you can browse and stuff.  Tags are small, and kind of low contrast.  So they don't, you know, distract you from the headlines. Bear in mind that on non-technical sites, new visitors, even new experts, don't necessarily even know what tags are. The title test:  If you assume the reader can't even see the tags, is your title a good, stand-alone summary of the question for an expert on that topic?  I'm sticking with gaming examples because they're more broadly accessible than some topics:   does not need, &quot;in Starcraft&quot; added, because it's impossible to be interested in the answer and not know that a zergling question relates to Starcraft.  but...  , absolutely needs &quot;...in Starcraft 2&quot; added to it, because without the tags, it's currently useless as a way to decide if you want to read it.  This is really no change from :  In the wake of that comment, people seemed to mostly hear:  &quot;stop forcing a word you don't need in just cuz it's a tag&quot;  ... which is right, but what it really says is,  &quot;most of the time, some tags will naturally belong in a title that effectively summarizes the question&quot;.  EDIT: Some folks felt this was (an unduly public) way to call out gaming specifically. It's not - I think this is a problem to varying degrees on a number of sites, but used examples from gaming because they're easy for most readers to follow. Sincere apologies to anyone in the Arqade community who felt I was using a network-wide forum to criticize a gaming practice - I wanted to clarify the best practice for all the sites that encounter this at least sometimes, including SO, where you still see people stripping languages from titles in edits sometimes.

Stack Exchange posts have URLs like this:  http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/9848/squeezing-all-the-seo-out-of-a-url-as-possible   Which is the format: /questions/{id}/{slugified-post-title}  The 9848 is obviously the unique identifier of the post, which is all that is necessary to look up the question in a data source. What is the title there for then? Is it strictly for SEO reasons and maybe to make the URL more readable? Or are there other reasons as well?

When asking a new question and typing in the title we get a list of similar questions named     Questions that may already have your answer     That suggestions contains posts across all tags. Like the example in the screenshot it returns similar questions for Python, jQuery, SQL, C#, Java, C++, ...  This makes the list less useless unlikely people find a question that already answers theirs. If people actually find a similar question in that list many duplicates could be avoided.  So can tags I entered below the question be considered to update the list? And can the tag textbox maybe put above the question title?

Is there a way to search for question which contains a specific tag (or set of tag), but no other tags.  For example if I wanted to have only pure [php] questions I would input in the search filed the following:  ![php]   Or for question only concerning html and css I would input:  ![html+css]  Is there already such a feature hidden in the SO Engine? If not, with the high number of question in SO, I feel like it would be a good feature.
