I`ll like to see these seo hacks in FB 1.0.5 final.
BUT this code must be modified to avoid double meta description , and other doube meta

Like with adding a thread id?

SEO improvemenrs in FB 1.0.5:
-component:title(present), description, keywords
-topic: title(present), description, keywords
-categories: title (can be taken from DB ), description (can be taken from DB ), keywords
-category listings: title, description, keywords
About the hack from rickert from post #54077 I must say that I tested it in FB1.0.5NB5 and worked 90%. 90% because there was a duplicate description problem...
...and

Didn`t work it said Jsite : setPagetitleAlias not defined.

I want to add that the speed problem of FB is not so big / important like the SEO one. Because if google doesn`t see U, U don`t exist.

About the duplicate meta description?
If that... I`m talking about the double metadescription from page source, for example:

Hi, can anyone tell me how to remove the Re: on all replys. It seems that this is killing me with google. It comes up with tons of duplacated stuff.

The Re: are not the problem, the duplicate URLs are. This has been fixed to a great part in the upcoming 1.0.5 release.

This is for J1.5 for no duplicate meta description.

now where would I put this code in.

Need your help here if you want this in 1.0.5. This is the last thing I will add before we close the release.
I am very short on time so I hope you can answer a few questions:

1.) I have not had the time to read the entire thread. Is this piece of code the final or a portion of the solution?
2.) Where does it go the way you have written it? file name and line numbers
3.) What makes it J1.5 specific?

Thx!

OK I`ll post everything... needed for meta... and the files needed to be modified

Hi
#1) This code is NOT a solution because ilegal caracters (like quotes for eample), urls, tags are not filtered AND because of this the meta description could be negative afected (destroied).
#2) I`ve made somne minor additions for listcat, showcat, latestx, view files so that description and keywords are added.
#3) The description and generator tags must be J1.5 native for J1.5, else there will be duplicate description and generator tags (about generator tag not the case in FB only in sobi etc).

I`ll test this additions with FB NB10 and then post here (files, lines, codes)
BUT there must be added a joomla version detection so that the native J1.5 code won`t affect J1.0.X.

Here is the patch for meta description & keywords:
-native J1.5 & J1.0.X;
-meta description & keywords for latestx (default_ex), listcat (default_ex), showcat (default_ex) & view.

This is a very anemic patch but does the work.
