I agree that as the Site / Page description is variable you would *not* need / want to include the description.

If you've optmised your site / page / article titles to include your top keywords then this will suffice.

Then you'd ensure your body copy has your keywords and so an as per normal optmisation techniques.

Thank you for the new update scott!

I appreciate the quick response on the new version.

I think I have decided to go with just the Story Title - Site Name.

Maybe even not including the site name.

Thanks again!

I would like to take this a step further and have textboxes on the "add new article" page to specify html meta tags such as page title and description. Does DNN even provide the ability to populate the meta description on non-conventional DNN pages?

Tom, I completely agree with you, that would be great !!!
I am completely addicted to SEO and I try my best to enhance my website...
And of course, I have a lot of duplicate meta tag in Google Webmaster tools...

Having this feature would be PERFECT !
But waiting for better, having [ARTICLETITLE] > [PAGETITLE] would be great.
Scott ???

PS: Tom, of course I read ALL your articles regarding SEO... And that's why I wrote you recently for having a good SEO Sitemap including Ventrian one.
