Seo title, description and keyword
Is it necessary to enter Seo title, seo description and seo keyword for all posts and pages seperately?

I recommend you leave them blank. If you do then search engines decide what they show.
Here's an example of the difference http://d.pr/i/ay7Y
The keyword is "afternoon tea" but I've searched for "afternoon tea at the ritz".
The first result shows Google deciding what to show from the post and emboldening my search term. The second one has a forced description so it doesn't show my search term.
I believe many people are more likely to click on a result that shows their search term in bold than one that doesn't show it at all.
It also saves wasting time and effort crafting "perfect" descriptions, especially as Google seems to be ranking higher content that doesn't have such descriptions.
However, Jay @magistudios believes that adding seo titles and descriptions results in fasting ranking, but I'd trade that any day for a higher ranking and more click throughs!
The SEO keyword meta is no longer used by search engines.
Hey Rich, I have one question for you in this regard. I have attached a screenshot.
I am sorry, I understood what you were saying here but I am confused about the "Excerpt". Should I do this or no (and let google decide)? (See screenshot)
Thanks for helping out!
HAha thanks. I realized that as I wrote it. I think the Excerpt area is just for the blog roll and doesn't affect Google's decision . Thanks!
