Yup, I added that a few versions ago, when you edit the page you will see inputs for meta keywords and description.

Please reread my last post and you might possibly understand why it was not working for me...
Seo plugin works as should.
As I installed this on my list, I noticed this plugin is using the meta description as the H1 tag, in most cases this is probably not idea.
I recommend changing the action_array.php file in this plugin as follows for a more concise result.

PHP:
if ($TMPL['cat_exist']) {
$TMPL['cat_name'] = $TMPL['cat_exist'];
$TMPL['cat_desc'] = $CONF['categories'][$TMPL['cat_exist']]['cat_desc'];
$TMPL['category_welcome'] = base::do_plugin_skin('./plugins/Seo','category_welcome');
}
elseif (!$TMPL['cat_exist'] && !isset($FORM['a']) && $TMPL['meta_description'] != '') {
$TMPL['category_welcome'] .= "<h1 id=\"seo_main_h1\">{$TMPL['list_name']}</h1>";
$TMPL['category_welcome'] .= "<p id=\"seo_main_p\">{$TMPL['meta_description']}</p>";
}
else {}Sure, my meta description is:
Looking to Promote your traffic exchange, blog, or webmaster service? When you need high quality traffic, look no further than AAtoplist. 2 minutes, hassle free, quality links and real visitors.
that is waaaaaay to long for a h1 or h2 tag.
h1 should be tight as possible (remember its a heading). Since the home page is well reflected by the site name, i chose to use the list_name
now my output looks like this:
<h1>AA Toplist - Promote Your Traffic Exchange</h1>
<p>Looking to Promote your traffic exchange, blog, or webmaster service? When you need high quality traffic, look no further than AAtoplist. 2 minutes, hassle free, quality links and real visitors.</p>
perfect for me!
I would recommend you rethink that
the meta description is NOT a heading, it makes zero sense to use an h1 or h2 tag here. Given that meta descriptions are usually 200 characters, this constitutes a paragraph <p> not a heading. Furthermore with that much text in a heading all you are doing is diluting the keywords to the point of uselessness.

Was thinking of the URL structure, about the stats page.
Example:
Search Query - Eternion Knight Online
Category - Knight Online
Website info:
Title - {$title} - {$category} | {$list_name}
Description - {$description}
Default URL structure - www.yoursite.com/details/{$username}/
Now we all know that domain gives small boost if includes some keywords.
So the final result would be something like this:
www.yoursite.com/details-{$category}/{$username}/
or
www.yoursite.com/details/{$category-{$username}/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just an idea, doesnt have to be included.

We also know that google dont like forced "view for google" and likes "code for visitor". In my opinion it makes the url unnecessary long.
Visitors prefer short urls from my experience and they couldnt care less if the category is the url. If you want them to know, bring the category more focused in the content rather the url. It benefits the visitor a LOT more and hence the likelyhood that google likes it is high as well
All this overthinking on SEO lol, sigh sigh. Free yourself from the headache and just code so the visitor will be pleased. It will give you a better result in the long run

I have a question regarding the plugin. I for example want to have a H1 title, then an h2 subtitle and then a description in normal formatting.
I could do this manually, by editing code on each category, but i think it is impossible. Probably only doable by php editing, and that means a few changes for this plugin would solve this problem, or maybe tell me how to edit the files myself to allow that format( H1 title + h2 subtitle + normal formatted desc)
Thanks
