Curious why not pagetitle module?

Page title is serious SEO tool. In fact, probably most important tool.

My OP site is down now, so I cannot run through site to check to see if the pagetitle is being created within some of the OP modules or something besides the pagetitle module.

Oh, I was under the impression that the taxonomy terms were being used as the key words meta and the teaser was being used as the description via the nodewords module (http://drupal.org/project/nodewords). Also it's nice to use the pathauto module to create SEF URL's.

I get what you are saying, but keywords meta isn't pagetitle.. Pagetitle is significant to SEO.

Not arguing here, just like to understand why NOT pagetitle?

I'll give an example from my website, because I'm not sure what you want to be doing? What should I be doing to improve this?

Pagetitle module and Aquia Marina theme

Busybee's picture

Met the same issue. And have found a simple solution - open template.php and remove all code from "// Set site title, slogan, mission, page title & separator" up to closing "}" before "$vars['head_title'] = strip_tags($vars['head_title']);"
Pagetitle module works now!
PS: This hack works for 6.1.5 and 6.2
