    does anybody know of a way to auto-populate title and description tags via a program or algorithm. i'm trying to keep my descriptions unique, so i don't get tagged for the supplemental index, but i'm planning on creating a huge number of pages which would be a nightmare to do by hand.

    Is there a simple way to do it? Yes, by hand. Simple yet time consuming.

    The techy/programmer way to do it would be by using a content management system of some sort. As you add pages, it would use an alorythm to read the text and determine what relevent keywords would be plastered up on the meta tags.

    Its pretty complicated, sadly, i cant think of any public software that does this for you (but im sure there is something out there)

    You can do this with a search-and-replace maybe. Actually though if they all need to be unique you need to probably do this with a little PHP program that would take a keyword list and from that array fill in all your tags.

    It can be done.
