Joomla Home Page Title Tag Issue
-
I have got a site that requires to have a custom title tag for its home page (primarily). Its using Joomla 3.3.1. I am not using any SEO components as of now. I have checked the the global configuration, It has Polymer Resources as the site name.
I am also attaching copy of the Menu Manager>Main menu> home
I would like to see the Home Page browser Title to read:
Custom Engineered Plastic Resin | Polymer Resources
But my current settings does not let me change the home page title.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

I have shared the site link with you. I will be going through the article that you had mentioned.
Appreciate the help.

PM me the site link. I'll take a look. Yes, you will want to have a very distinct page title for the home page, I thought you were trying to assign a tag to the home page, which would add that into every page, my mistake.
Also, make sure you have your home page menu item and article set to default. Here is an article that may help you:

Dear David,
Thank you for your answer. I have actually tried doing it directly from the menus and it did not solve the issues. As for your question regarding having the title tag for the home page, my understanding is that the title tag is one fo the important tags from ON Page perspective and I want my title tag for the site home page to have that keyword included. Please correct me, if I am wrong.
Do you have any idea about what might be causing it not accept the changes in the menu items?
Thank you.

Do it through the menu items, rather than the main dashboard. Much easier. This will also allow you to add a custom title, and meta for each menu link you have, which will help your rankings if done correctly
If it will not let you over ride the setting, I would install RSSEO, which will allow the page title over ride. Out of curiousity, why is it required that you have that tag attached to the home page? Doesn't really offer you any benefit.

Site name in page title - leave it or remove it?
Hi all, Recently came across some authority blog (quicksprout to be precise) which stated that apart from main page, contact page, about us and some other generic pages, site name should be removed as it might produce duplicate content. example "How to blog | Example Site name" This mostly is the issue with tags and categories pages as it shows on Moz issues. Is that really a problem and site name should be taken off them? Thank you.

Home Page optimising for Office furniture online

We use visual composer for this on wordpress - but we can't get a rank for it I wondered whether as it is our key term - whether we should focus on the home page for this - but the issue we have here it the amount of text we can add to the home page without it looking silly - could we have a slide in side tab with information on or is this frowned upon?

Does Title Tag have to be in the HEAD tag?
We are using templates that load the same header for every page. I'd like to just include a different title tag in the "body" template of each page. If I was to do this, does it affect SEO at all?

Does anyone know why my Home page isn't visible in search terms?
If I type in my meta description for my homepage in google search or any of my keywords only my inner pages are returned in the results. I have a PR3 on the homepage so I don't think google is blocking my site and all my inner pages seem to show up.

Are duplicate titles an issue for pages I don't need ranking for?
A client has a load of duplicate page titles on their site. However, to cut a long story short, most of these pages are pointless and therefore we don't need ranking for them. As such, I'm not concerned whether any of the pages with duplicate content on them are ranked or not..... unless having duplicate page titles / content on these pages could mean that other pages on the site, like the homepage, don't rank as high because of this. Do I need to worry about duplicate titles on these pages, or can I ignore duplicate content on pages that I don't want to be ranked? Hope that makes sense!
