We tend to write HTML HEAD portion in certain order. However, DNN writes META info before TITLE. I wonder if it has some effect in Search Engines. The reason I ask is because I have seen results for some pages which have a similar description to mine. A few of them always show before mine.

This is DNN HEAD portion. Check SEARCH TERM placement.

<head id="Head">
    <meta id="MetaDescription" name="DESCRIPTION" content="SEARCH TERM" />
    <meta id="MetaKeywords" name="KEYWORDS" content="SEARCH TERM" />
    <meta id="MetaCopyright" name="COPYRIGHT" content=" blablabla " />
    <meta id="MetaGenerator" name="GENERATOR" />
    <meta id="MetaAuthor" name="AUTHOR" content=" blablabla " />
    <meta name="RESOURCE-TYPE" content="DOCUMENT" />
    <meta name="DISTRIBUTION" content="GLOBAL" />
    <meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX, FOLLOW" />
    <meta name="REVISIT-AFTER" content="1 DAYS" />
    <meta name="RATING" content="GENERAL" />
    <meta http-equiv="PAGE-ENTER" content="RevealTrans(Duration=0,Transition=1)" />
    <style id="StylePlaceholder"></style>
    <link id="_DesktopModules_Announcements" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/DesktopModules/Announcements/module.css" />
    <link id="_Portals__default_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/_default/default.css" />
    <link id="_Portals__default_Skins_MySkin_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/_default/Skins/MySkin/skin.css" />
    <link id="_Portals_0_" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Portals/0/portal.css" />
    <META NAME="Name" CONTENT=" blablabla ">
    <title>SEARCH TERM</title>
</head>

and this is THE FIRST URL in google, given a SEARCH TERM of my category of site.

 

<head>
<title>SEARCH TERM</title>
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="SEARCH TERM"> 
<meta name="keywords" content="SEARCH TERM"> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; ISO-8859-1">
<meta name="resource-type" content="document">
<meta name="coverage" content="Worldwide">
<meta name="distribution" content="global">
<meta name="robots" content="all">
<meta content="ALL" name="ROBOTS">
<meta content="15 days" name="revisit-after">
<meta name="rating" content="General">
<meta name="author" content=" blablabla ">
<meta name="DC.Creator" content=" blablabla ">
<meta name="title" content="SEARCH TERM">
<meta name="DC.title" content="SEARCH TERM">

</head>

<body>
<CENTER><H1>SEARCH TERM</H1></CENTER>

 

Some sites show up before mine and they do not even have a H1. So, back to the question, is the order of META and TITLE relevant?

I think as long as your page Title is the text of the link back to the page in the search results then it doesn't matter.

I admit It is kind of weird though.

The ordering of <title> and <meta ...> in <head> should make no difference at all.  It wouldnt make any sense..

Having your search term inside of <h1> tags does make a difference, and you should do it if you havent already.

The best thing you can do is get more links .. that is probably why those other sites are ahead of you, they have more links.  You should look at Yahoo Site Explorer to see how many links they have vs how many links you have.

Strange, entered one culprit in Yahoo Site Explorer, no. 1 in google happens to be member of geocities. But, full URL only have 1 link in Yahoo. I have almost 1500.

There is another one above mine, with 149 links.

Well, maybe it is more that a single page this thing about SEO optimization: the ultimate reverse engineering.

My site is totally about LAW. Many of those before me have different articles, not exclusively law.
