Joomla 1.5 SEO preparation - the absolute bare minimum

The following are 2 tips that should be done on any joomla 1.5.x site regardless of whether you want to optimize your site for search engines or not.

If you're looking at the source code of your website and see following lines, this article affects you:

<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="keywords" content="joomla, Joomla" /><meta name="description" content="Joomla! - el motor de portales dinámicos y sistema de administración de contenidos" />
<meta name="generator" content="Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management" />

To do so you go to your admin panel as Super Administrator and under the Global Configuration menu you delete the Metatag data. There is some discussion on whether global tags (tags and keywords that show up on any page) are helpful or not, so you can decide now if you want to add tags and keywords and display the meta tags or hide both author and meta tags.
