-The same applies to the description. However, under some circumstances, the search engine is not able to create a meaningful description for the search result pages (called SERPs). In this case, providing a description has an indirect value: it helps the search engine user to select the right (in this case your) result. In other words, a good description helps to increase the site conversion in the SERPs((SEO Wiki: "SEO Optimization using HTML Meta Tags," http://en.seowiki.info/onpage_seo/meta_information)). The [[plugin:description]] plugin adds such an description and is highly recommended from SEO perspective. One such scenario is the use of interactive content and low textual content.+The same applies to the description.

-Also, including keywords into the page has no negative effect and might be of advantage when using other tools and services (for example social bookmarking). In some cases, these services use the keywords from the meta header to create bookmarks and provide other services. Keywords can be manually defined per page using the [[plugin:keywords]] plugin.+Also, including keywords in the page has no negative effect and might be of advantage when using other tools and services (for example social bookmarking).

 By default DokuWiki uses the [[:pagename]] in the //title// element. You may want to use the first level 1 header instead by enabling the [[config:useheading]] option (you can also [[tips:underscores|remove underscores in different way]]). This has the advantage that your title (which is displayed in the SERPs) becomes more descriptive and you have a better influence about the keywords in the title. Also it allows you to have different keywords in the URL (which is influenced by the [[:pagename]]) and the title; both are an important factor in [[http://en.seowiki.info/onpage_seo|onpage-SEO]]. By default DokuWiki uses the [[:pagename]] in the //title// element.

-From SEO perspective, you should keep the name of the Wiki short (in the case of this wiki: [DokuWiki]) as the title is repeated in the page title on all pages. That way, your title is focused on the page keywords in the beginning of the title (here: "__seo__ [DokuWiki]"), indicating to the search engine the actual content of the page.+From an SEO perspective, you should keep the name of the Wiki short (in the case of this wiki: [DokuWiki]) as the title is repeated in the page title on all pages.

 DokuWiki tries to [[:antispam|fight wiki spam]] by several ways. One of them is called [[config:indexdelay|delayed indexing]] and directly influences how search engines spider your page. When enabled it will set the //robots// meta header accordingly to the age of a page. Only pages which were not edited for a certain time (default: 5 days) will be allowed for spidering. The idea is that the community will have removed any spam in this time. This means only a page which is considered as good by the wiki users will be added by search engines. If you have a quick community (eg. at this wiki spam usually never lasts longer than a day) or have a closed user group you may want to lower the [[config:indexdelay]] option or even set it to 0 for disabling delayed indexing. DokuWiki tries to [[:antispam|fight wiki spam]] by several ways.
