    I am wondering if there is any benefit? How to make search engine index as many as possible inner categories?

    Thank you very much!

    Yes I think you can make the search engines to index a website once in 5 or 6 dyas by using meta tags like this

    The google sitemap generator in phpld 3.1 can help you to set that.

    This meta tag has been completely obsolete since the 1990s. Search engines ignore it and visit a site on their own schedule. It doesn't do anything.

    Most meta tags are ignored or are obsolete. The description meta tag and a few others are the only ones that search engines pay any attention to.

    Yeah I agree for the most part, but I've seen results in MSN after switching them up. Google won't care or notice.

    You can play around with it;

    Replace your custom header tags with this in your header.php

    
       {* Custom META tags *}
       {if $smarty.const.ENABLE_META_TAGS}
          {if !empty($MetaKeywords)}
             <meta name="keywords" content="{$in_page_title}, {foreach from=$categs item=cat name=categs}{$cat.TITLE}, {/foreach}{* Display subcategories *}{if $cat.SUBCATS}{foreach from=$cat.SUBCATS item=scat name=scategs}{$scat.TITLE}, {/foreach}{/if}{foreach from=$links item=link name=links}{$link.TITLE}, {/foreach}">
          {/if}
          {if !empty($MetaDescription)}
             <meta name="description" content="{$in_page_title} {$smarty.capture.title|strip} {$description}">
          {/if}
          {if !empty($MetaAuthor)}
             <meta name="author" content="{$MetaAuthor|strip|escape|trim}">
          {/if}
          {if !empty($MetaCopyright)}
             <meta name="copyright" content="{$MetaCopyright|strip|escape|trim}">
          {/if}
          {if !empty($MetaRobots)}
             <meta name="robots" content="{$MetaRobots|strip|escape|trim}">
          {/if}
       {/if}
    
    Code (markup):
    See example in my Free Website Directory

    Notice how my metatags especially the keywords are created dynamically for main and subcategories.:D

    Dynamic Category for meta keywords,
