Add a static text in the <title>
Open the file:
libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php
Search for the next piece of code:
<nowiki>$strHtml .= $tab.'<title>'.htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()).'</title>'.$lnEnd;</nowiki>
Add your statict text for example:
<nowiki>$strHtml .= $tab.'<title> All about Canada - '.htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()).'</title>'.$lnEnd;</nowiki>
The text into the <title> tag is very important for the search engines.
If you need obtain a great search results for the word "All about Canada" I recommend your put the static text before of the $document->getTitle();
Other important thing, is don't use symbols like <nowiki>":", "-", "$",</nowiki> etc for the title.
