title tag help please

**atcspaul** · 01-08-2008, 05:36 PM

when clicking on page and source it shows the guts of the forum i guess is the best way to say it. anyway when i check most forums the title tag is near the top and on mine it is burried near the bottom. from my understanding which is very little that title tag should be near the top. how do i move it up thier and is it nessary. the forum is Motorized Bicycle Engine Kit Forum. thanks for all the help you all have been giving me.

Is this what your talking about ?
it does look a bit backwards, you can edit this in your header template I think.

okay, I wont close the thread in case someone else has a title tag question, maybe they'll find this thread

Glad it's all working out for you

**atcspaul** · 01-17-2008, 07:07 AM

moved up to number 8 with google and dropping daily now at 35. i wonder if it is because of this being backwards? anyone out thier for hire that would like to set it up correct. i do not even know how it is supposed to look or if ok like it is. holding at 8 with yahoo but keep dropping with google. very strange.

It is that way in all the vBulletin forums. The title tag is the last one in head section, right below the rss feed

**atcspaul** · 01-17-2008, 12:58 PM

thanks madden. just seems weird the big difference with google and yahoo placings.

**atcspaul** · 01-17-2008, 02:31 PM
