Joomla SEO Tip - Home Page Title In 2 Mins
Your home page title tag is one of the most important title tags on your site. By default, Joomla displays the site name you specify in the config which isn’t that Google friendly, because it’s good to get your important keywords in your home page title.
How To Create A Home Page Title Tag For Joomla Sites
Using the sh404SEF seo plugin by siliana, a free Joomla SEF and URL rewriting component that creates search engine friendly urls, you can also specify a unique title for your Joomla home page.
- Select sh404SEF admin in your Joomla Components menu
- In sh404SEF admin, select ‘Meta Tags’
- At the top right, select ‘Home Page Meta’
- Create a title of your choice, about 10 words
- Create a unique description of the site, about 20 words
Save & hey presto a unique, hopefully keyword rich home page title for your your joomla install.
As a Joomla development company, we always aim to make Joomla sites seo friendly. sh404SEF is one of the best Joomla SEO plugins I have used. Make Joomla SEO friendly with this easy to install and use plugin. It’s simple to setup if you are familiar with Joomla, htaccess, and have a basic knowledge of seo.

Many thank for your Joomla tips, there is another way which is real a hack, i am sure you are aware of but share the knowledge and all that. On the index template page do a echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] get the full url string, then remove the echo and write an If else statement like so
if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == ‘urlstring’)
<?
}
else{
mosShowHead();
}
on another note have you got any tip on remove the mce tag form the source code as i keep having issuse with this, keep up the good work!
