I'm setting up traffic driver and it has given me some text to add

"To continue, simply Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) your Meta Tags into your website pages, between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags:"

But where are the <head> and </head> that I add this between please ?

Yes, Something in what you added is wrong.

But if you are adding a title you don’t need to do that in page_container in fact you shouldn’t.

Are you saying to remove it in it's entirety or just the <head></head ?

These things are hard to remember when you're pushing 80

Oh wow, so why is the Traffic Driver my host supplies pushing this if it's no longer taken notice of.

Thanks for that, I will get onto them and see what they have to say and will post it back here.

Personally I wouldn't bother with it.

Stuff like that just isn't relevant these days - XF is pretty well optimised out of the box.

Apart from the keywords what you have there would be useful but as I said only for a static HTML page.

Xenforo does it all automatically from the page content.

I would just revert the template to default that is safer than removing it and messing up something else.

Unmaintained - Simply add your own entries to the XenForo header.

It is generally better not to modify templates directly, but to always use the template modification system (TMS). This saves you a lot of trouble with XF Upgrades. Therefore we also use this to add an entry to the XF header. Log into the...

Check the lines of code you are entering are valid - the closing head tag shouldn't be affected.
