여러분, 혹시 도와주실 분 계신가요? 저는 Discourse 사이트를 SEO 최적화하려고 시도하고 있는데, 도무지 방법을 모르겠습니다. 누군가 이해할 수 있도록 설명해 주실 수 있을까요?
카테고리 및 태그의 메타 타이틀을 변경했는데, 브라우저 탭에는 올바르게 표시되지만 페이지 소스를 보면 단순히 "News"라고만 나와 있습니다.
각 카테고리와 태그에 고유한 설명을 작성하기 시작했는데, 어째서인지 Discourse가 크롤러를 위해 모든 텍스트를 제거해서 크롤러가 어떤 텍스트도 볼 수 없습니다.
여기에는 이 태그가 어떤 낚시꾼에 관한 것인지 사람들에게 알리기 위해 작성하기 시작한 태그 텍스트가 있습니다. 하지만 Google은 이를 볼 수 없는데, 어딘가에서 텍스트가 제거되고 있기 때문입니다.
결국 제가 하고 싶은 것은 크롤러에게 페이지가 무엇에 관한 것인지 알려주고, 검색 결과에서 더 나은 텍스트를 확보하여 적절한 CTR을 얻는 것입니다.
설정에서 놓치고 있는 부분이 있을까요?
Your categories and tags has nothing to do with SEO. Not too much headings either. Content per se has.
All of those beliefs are from SEO consultants who are trying to do simple things as difficult as possible to sell services.
Easy access, sitemap and decent content is what you need. After that you need visitors, because every visits impoves the value (because Google is following actions).
I have to disagree, we did a test a while back after reading that Wordpress tags are useless for SEO. So what we did was internally SEO them and guess what - They got us roughly 9k uniques a month and became the some of the most visited on the site.
Regarding the headings i also completely disagree. What would you click on if these were in the search results
or
I am with you on most stuff on the web but coming from a background of seeing with my own eyes how categories and tags are some of the most important aspects of a website what harm is it doing making them look better and letting google know what they are about?
This is my whole point, not being able to do this would be LOSING tens of thousands of visitors.
Topic titles are what you want to improve. Not tags. Tags has zero values and is only way to bots to find content. And unneeded, because googlebot has very limited budget and it should save to sitemap.
Forgot to say. Take this as an example, yes i get you need quality content but look at this scenario…
The quality content will be a topic on a tag so lets use David Beckham as an example.
The quality content would be topics i.e “How much is David Beckham worth” or “How many Goals Did David Beckham Score”
These get searched for 20k times a month.
Yet the tag in each would be “David Beckham” which gets 1 million searches a month. Why not try and seo that tag to make it clearer ?
Tags and categories have the most value and most searches. I can literally prove this for nearly every topic out there. Thats exactly why you tag a topic to help people discover what there interested in.
Inside Dicourse, defenetly yes. But Google doesn’t care at all.
Wow, where you getting this information from? That’s the worst statement I have ever seen to be honest.
Our tags on another site get over 20k uniques a month in a niche industry and that was just by changing the meta title and description of the tag

Thanks so much for the reply however I have read them, topics are fine and are getting indexed properly. The issue I have is with tags and categories.
Check here - https://www.carptalk.uk/tag/Darrell-Peck
I have set the tag description as stated in
Yet the actual meta title is rendered as
Also i have edited js.filters.with_category and js.tagging.filters.without_category as stated in this post
The browser renders the text in the tab correctly however it doesn’t change the actual meta title
Thanks for reporting this @Damian_Boon. You are correct that Discourse does not currently show the tag description in the meta tags. It is done for categories, but not tags. Since this is an important part of SEO, I have logged a task to fix this up, and we’ll circle back here once it has been fixed and updated.
Thanks so much Hugh, is changing the title also a bug?
The changing title is an interesting one - we’ll dig into that a little further.
Could you please clarify what you are expecting the title to show as on this page: Carp Talk - Videos, News, Insights, Tips?
The title I see in the browser is different to what’s in the page source - I believe those should match, so that’s something we’ll look into.
The title in the browser is what i expect to see (minus the - that tags add) in the page source. i believe this used to work as stated in this post
ideally we would be able to write our own in the tag settings however what we put in here basically should render in the page source 
Is there any update on this itching to start writing all the tags seo
Thanks for pointing out this issue, @Damian_Boon!
I’ve just merged a fix for it, please give a try and let us know how it goes!
This is awesome news 
Does the fix also include the meta title changes I’ll test when back
There’s currently no option in the UI to set the meta title, so we didn’t change anything there.
Could you clarify what you’re looking for with the title? If it’s wanting to be able to set that in the tag settings, then that would be a new feature we would need to schedule in for development.
Changing this applies it to the browser tab however i feel this should be the meta title for tags. It makes so much more sense and is 1000 times better for a decent CTR in Google
Also the same should be applied to the category meta title -
this should be the meta title for categories.
However the best solution would be able to set the meta title and meta description on the edit tag page, these are so important and very overlooked. The tags and categories in any forum get the most searches so why not give us forum owners a powerful tool to help us get more traffic.
