Does anyone know what googles take is on auto meta tag generators for dynamic sites? Some people have claimed that Google is penalizing dynamic php driven sites for having duplicate metas, and that Google suggests to use an "auto meta" script which will pull relevant keywords from the content of the page. Some research is below... http://www.oshelpers.com/oscommerce-title-meta-tags-c-30_32.html By using a Dynamic Page Title and Dynamic Meta Tags, you are presenting Search Engine Spiders with more relevant information regarding your web site and product(s). In addition, you are increasing your chance of obtaining a higher position within the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) for that particular product. Some search engines will even use the information provided within the meta tags of your page as a description of your page and display it on SERPs. This way, visitors, who are about to click your link know exactly which product they are about to view. If you are not using a Dynamic Page Title already, all of the titles of your pages might looks like this: YourStore.com – Great Products and Excellent Prices SEO Pack I will transform each of your product page titles into a specific and dynamic URL, for example: Your Products Name – YourStore.com – Great Products and Excellent Prices Relevant product information is also placed within META NAME="DESCRIPTION" and META NAME="KEYWORDS" of every unique product page. http://www.dailyblogtips.com/optimize-your-meta-description-tag/ In an attempt to improve search engine indexing of my forum, I have added META keywords and a description to the headerinclude template. However, now Google is complaining that all my pages have the duplicate META tags and suggests that I use a program to generate META tags based on the page content. Does anyone know of a plugin or script that can dynamically generate META tags based on the contents of a MyBB forum or thread? Is there a simple modification I can make to forumdisplay.php and showthread.php to automatically pull content from the MyBB database and format it into META tags? Currently, all pages on my site are indexed with the META description, preventing searchers from determining the content of any page on my site. http://community.mybboard.net/archive/index.php/thread-36983.html This plugin will automatically generate and include HTML Meta Tags and Technorati Tags based on the full text of your post.The plugin will generate the Meta Description automatically, either by extracting the first words of your posts or by displaying the post excerpt (you can configure it).
Rumors about what Google is doing I've usually found to be...unfounded. Google doesn't care if you have meta tags as long as you have content because it'll use that for any necessary meta info. I guess what I'm saying is, if you're worried about your meta's being a problem, get rid of them.
