Keywords and search engine visibility

I have used Mambo cms previously and they have done good job with keywords and search engine visibility. Currently my site ranks pretty high in google.

What I'm wondering is how / in which file do I change the keywords and are the entries indexed by search engines?

Thank you so much!

No useful search engine nowadays evaluates the desciprtion/keyword metatags specified in your page. You could greate an embedded s9y installation and include a custom HTML header/footer for each page, but IMHO that's not worth your trouble.

The entries however are indexed quite good if you have the URL rewriting (/archives/XX_Your_entry.html) embedded, and the title of your entries is placed quite relevant for a search engine. Take care that you have relevant referrers, trackbacks or links on your site, and everything will be fine. :-)
