Spring needs better search engine optimization.

I searched 'spring' and this is what I found 5 results down:

The Spring Project
31 Jan 2010 ... Unfortunately some of these were bugs in the simulation code, so we have to force this Spring 0.81.2 update to keep everyone in sync. ...

This could so much better like...

Spring - Open Source Real Time Strategy
The real time strategy engine with heap of mods, hundreds of maps, intense multiplayer action.

And has anyone looked up the top keyword searches and optimized them?

Code: Select all

<meta name="keywords" content="" /> 
<meta name="description" content="" />
yeah that's gotta be good for SEO :P

looks like we might need to manually update the template (overall_header.html) to add them...

If you know how to do it, feel free to poke around in the sources.

Google doesn't use meta keywords. Google uses indexed content.

With google, your searches are what you make them.

The description is more or less ignored give or take, but it wouldn't hurt to have one, just don't expect the spring site to all of a sudden shoot massively up in search rankings.

he complained about google's description of the site.
google respects the meta description tag on all of the sites I use it, and includes it as the summary in the results page.
