Combating supplementals with PHPLD

Hey all,

I took to task creating unique and substantive meta tags and wanted opinions. The directory now takes the deep links and site name including the directory category.

Example,

http://www.deeperlinks.com/details-607.html

This page is for the Coconut Coast Handmade Soap Co.

Here's the meta generated

<title>Coconut Coast Handmade Soap Co. - Deep Links Directory</title>
<meta name="description" content="Detailed Coconut Coast Handmade Soap Co. review in our Shopping/Crafts/ section with Natural Soap and Soap Making Glossary deep links with brief summary on Coconut Coast Handmade Soap Co. content."/>
<meta name="keywords" content="Coconut Coast Handmade Soap Co.,Natural Soap,Soap Making Glossary,Soap Making Books,Soap Making Supplies,Soap Maker's Resources,"/>

The category page takes into consideration the sub categories and site titles,

ie;
shopping

<title>Shopping - Deep Links Directory</title>
<meta name="description" content="Shopping Selection of Deeper Links Directory Shopping related content websites and Shopping news resources. Please add your Shopping content website and Shopping deep links for consideration."/>
<meta name="keywords" content="Shopping,Antiques and Collectibles,Autos,Beauty Products,Books,Chemicals,Children,Clothing,Computers,Consumer Electronics,Crafts,Education,Electronics and Electrical Components,Entertainment,Flowers,Gifts,Health,Holidays,Home and Garden,Jewelry,Major Retailers,Music,Office Products,Perfume,Pets,Publications,Sports,Telecommunications,Tobacco,Tools,Toys and Games,Travel,Vehicles,Visual Arts,Weddings,Wholesale,Natural Choice Vending: Antares vending,As Seen On TV Products, hottest news about cigarettes.,Afm Discount Center 2,Scottish Shopping,Female mannequin,"/>

Seems to me the keywords might be too long? Curious for opinions, thanks.

 

Way too many keywords, I would cut that down by at least half.

 

Agreed,

I'm doing this

{if $cat.SUBCATS}{foreach from=$cat.SUBCATS item=scat name=scategs}{$scat.TITLE}, {/foreach}{/if}

Code (markup):

Anyone know how I would cut it down to a max of like 8?

 

Explode the list into an array and loop through it say 6 or 8 times, discarding the rest.

You could get fancy and randomize the array first and then pluck out 6 or 8. The keywords for the page would vary slightly then.

 

If you could dumb it down to some code I could cut and paste into there I forsee a free featured link in your future.

 

Wait did google again have their supplemental thingy back ? I thought it was dead ?

 

Agreed, but it is a larger factor than most realize. Especially the descriptions tag.

Google's telling you which pages are in supplemental hell is over not supplementals themselves.

 

Supplemental's still exist, they are just not marked as supplemental's anymore.

Ok, I haven't tested this, but give it a try...

{if $cat.SUBCATS}
{foreach from=$cat.SUBCATS item=scat name=scategs}
{if $smarty.foreach.scategs.index <=8}
{$scat.TITLE}, 
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/if}

Code (markup):

Change the 8 to the number of keywords you want to display.
