Re: Should the title tag come first?

Will this give me a poorer placement in search engines? Greateful if someone could have a look at my meta tags at the above url and let me know if the set-up esp title & keyword might affect placement.
Many thanks |
According to the formal HTML and XHTML syntax this doesn't matter. However it is customary to include the title tag first, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" >
<head>
<title>My website</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="description" content="Some text for DMOZ editors" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/stylesheet.css" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>My website</h1>
</body>
</html>
