WordPress SEO Which of the WordPress SEO plugins was you running?

If you view source of your homepage it doesn’t show the usual commented out code that says which WordPress SEO Plugin is running and is generating meta tags etc…, but there are still indications a SEO plugin is running.

You have meta description and meta keywords tags and a robots meta tag with noodp,noydir within it. Also the Google verification code (BTW once you’ve verified a site you can remove the code).

It looks like you are running the Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin as the Google verification and robots meta tags is a feature of the Yoast SEO Plugin.

Not looked at the latest version of the Yoast SEO plugin, but when it was in it’s early releases it wasn’t setup particularly well (no built in defaults) and if I recall correctly you had to disable it via the plugins page not the Yoast WordPress SEO menu. Or was it the All In One SEO Pack Plugin that turned things on before you click activate on the plugins menu.

I wouldn’t use any of them with Talian 5, the only useful feature is the ability to have some more control over the home pages title element and the title element of posts. I’ve added the former in Stallion 6 and looking into the title element of posts for a future release. I name posts with the keywords I want the post to rank for, although nice to have the options to call a page one thing and give it a different title element it’s not an SEO feature you can’t live without: when I add the feature to Stallion for posts (I’ll find a way), I doubt I’ll use it.

BTW your home page title element is using the title of the Page you are using as the static home page. If you want a different title element for the home page rename the title of the static Page.
