With that said it is important to understand SEO and how your entire site relates to it. This hack is intended as a starting point -- I would not advise that anyone keeps their phrases default; that's just short changing yourself.

If you are truly concerned it is possible to set bots into their own usergroup and remove the welcome headers for them altogether. But as a word of caution, should an engine detect this, it could be seen as extremely negative.

It would be nice to make a way that this hack is hidden from spiders in the spiders xml file. This shouldnt be too hard to do..
