The following are the smarter options for SEO platinum that would provide smart onsite SEO benefits to your site.
Home Title:
As the option name suggests, this will be the title of your homepage. This is independent of any other option. If not set, the default site title will get used.
Home Description:
This option lets you specify the META description tag for your homepage. The default is, however, no META description for your home page, if this option is not set.
Autogenerate Descriptions:
By checking this option, your META descriptions will get autogenerated, if there’s no excerpt. i.e. the first 160 characters of your post/page content will be automatically assigned to the meta description tag.
Home keywords:
This option lets you specify a comma separated list of META keywords for your homepage. The default is, however, no META keywords for your home page, if this option is not set.Use optimal number of keywords for your home page and don’t overdo it.
Rewrite Titles and Title formats:
These options are all about the title tags. The title is what you see in your browser’s window title bar. This is NOT visible on a page, but visible only on the window title bar and of course in the source code. If “Rewrite Titles” is checked, all page, post, category, search and archive page titles get rewritten. Make sure that “Rewrite Titles” is checked.You can specify the format for most of them. For example: The templates puts the title tag of posts like this: Site Archive >> Site Name >> Post Title. But this is far from optimal. With Platinum SEO’s default post title format, Rewrite Title rewrites this to Post Title | Site Name. If you have manually defined a Post title (in the text field labeled Title under Platinum SEO Pack options in your post/page Write panel), this will become the title of your post in the format string.
