    I'd like to create unique meta description and meta keywords in each thread and post in phpBB. Is there any mod to do this?

    I'm also looking for such a mod. It could increase SE traffic exponentially.

    A description tag might have an effect on clickthroughs from SE rankings because it is sometimes used as the snippet in the listings. However, it won't effect SE rankings in itself.

    Keywords meta tags no longer seem to do anything at all.

    It's easy to create or edit a static (forum wide) meta description tag: edit \templates\{template_name}\overall_header.tpl, but I'm not aware of a MOD that will dynamically create description tags.

    I think there's one for vBulletin... maybe someone who's interested enough could modify that for phpBB.

    A sitewide description isn't a good idea. Better to let the search engine use it's own description than to hardcode the same one into all your pages.

    I have created a mod that uses posts for titles, individual keywords by forum, and then description is by forum/forums as well.

    It is pretty in-house and messy but was not that hard to do. Let me see if I can organize my notes on it this weekend and post something up. if I forget someone drop me a PM.
