Wikis are one of the most searched web mediums of today which is an expected occurrence because of the breadth of rich contextual information. Although the leading search engines emphasize actual context over meta data there are many search engines that still rely on meta data to classify and rank pages. For this reason we have created a set of new SEO functions that enable users to add per page meta data to each wiki page. Not only does this assist with search engine optimization but it also allows for a more granular identity of the content presented on each page. Additionally, it’s just considered good practice.
The functions allow you to identify the following meta data:
- Author
- Copyright
- Custom
- Description
- GoogleBot
- Keywords
- Rating
- Robots
You can access each function by navigating to the “Insert Extension Dialog” on your edit page toolbar (under Built In functions) or by inserting the appropriate Deki Script directly into you wiki page. Here is an example of how to use Deki Script to change the meta data.
- {{ meta.author{content: “Damien Howley”} }}
- {{ meta.description{content: “This is my unique wiki page about SEO”} }}
- {{ meta.keywords{content: “SEO,MindTouch,Deki Wiki,Wiki,Awesome”} }}
Thanks, and happy SEO
