Hey everyone, as you can see from my site below: http://www.juicingforum.co.uk the way ive coded it using PHP includes for header and footer and css for layout means that the page title is the same. Will this make a huge difference to my search engine results. If so is their anything i can do now like insert a php code to dynamically change the name of each page. Anyhelp is appreciated
The title should be unique to each page and the meta desc and meta keywords should be unique as well. They all should tie in with each other as well as the content on the page.
Yeah, that's a HUGE problem. having unique, key phrse rich title tags is probably the most important factor in on page optimization.
ahhhh i thought this would be a problem, is their anyway i can change it now. the way ive set it up is using header and footer text files with PHP. cheers for the help.
There are a bunch of ways. 1 way would be to create a file that you could include in the header which would define the title (and keywords nad description if you wanted) for each page of the site. Then set a variable equal to the appropriate title depending on the page the user is on. Then replace your constant in the title tag with variable. Or better yet, you could store this info in the Db.
thats brilliant man so i wont have to go and recode the whole site? Ill have a look into this and make a contest looking for someone who can code the script or help.
Lol, no, it's not brilliant. Back when I was a php developer working on ecommerce shopping carts that was standard operating procedure. These days, it rather crude. But it should work.
Yeah its not ideal i guess, ill have to hire or find a way to code the dynamic title bit. is that what it would come under if i was searching for it?
Our each and every pages should say difference things to audience, with the help of keywords title and description
You can change the dynamic php page to leave out the title part alone from the dynamic include. Then include the title in each of your php pages and make sure they are different in each page.
I think the same title page would definitely have an impact on your search engine results. The page title is extremely essential. All pages should have descriptive page title which describes that page specifically. Also, you must improve on your title tag because a title tag is viewed as the most important elements in SEO. The page title is the first thing searchers see.
