Where did the meta-tab go in MODx Evolution 1.0.2

I can’t see the meta-tab with keywords etc... anymore in 1.0.2. Where did it go and where to put page specific keywords???

thanks, coby.

you need to activate it under "configuration" -> Show META Keywords tab

The Meta tab is there but you must now turn it on as it is deprecated. It is considered a best practice to use TVs for meta keywords and descriptions.

Thanks guys. I found it! Why should I use a TV instead. This tab worked fine for me.

First managing a big limited list of metakeywords and then tacking them onto the page is clumsy. Second, it is not a feature that is in Revo. Finally, if you are going to use keywords I’d rather they be more taglike and related to the page content at the time of writing.

I personally don’t use meta keywords since Google, Bing and Yahoo no longer use them for indexing or weighting. Meta Description I do and often repurpose the Introtext or Description field for that.

If you are happy using the Meta tab, by all means go for it. The beauty of MODx is that it works the way you want it to.

Cheers,

Hi, do you have any links to documentation that back that statement up? Would love to have something to show my clients about this.

For Google:

Here is a story from one of the best resources on SEM and SEO on the announcment of earlier this year that Yahoo, the last major SE to use keywords is no longer using them in search results: http://searchengineland.com/yahoo-search-no-longer-uses-meta-keywords-tag-27303

Other resources are Search Engine Guide and SEOMoz as well as Dave Naylor. You can Google those.
