Practical Web Tips

The following are some essential Drupal Modules for Search Engine Optimization. There are some alternatives, but these seem to do a pretty good job.

1. Page Title-Provides enhanced control over your page title's which appear in the head tag of every node.
2. Meta Tags-allows you to enter description and keywords for every node you create.
3. Meta Tags by Path-allows you to choose any url/path and add keywords and meta-tags that way. I use this for nodes that don't have those options by default (such as an aggregator)
4. Path Auto-Provides a mechanism for modules to automatically generate aliases for the content they manage.
5. Google Analytics-Just what the name says, but this module allows you to enter your analytics code in one area and it will automatically be generated on every page
6. XML Sitemap-Creates an XML sitemap for your site and gives you the option to send it to all the major search engines each time your site is updated.

I will provide links to each module in the next day or so. Enjoy!
