I am setting up a Cubecart 4 shop. I have the option there to put in every category and every product meta tags and description. If i use the same tags on all the pages, will the site rank bad or worse in Google and other search engines. Is it better to use different tags for all the products and categories???
I completely agree, that way the person searching for said content will be taken to that page, not another page on your site.
You use different meta tags and different title for each page then your site will take good rank in search engines .
If your products are categorized for different pages then you have to use different keywords in the title and description based on your product,then each keyword will be ranked in search listings.
yeah, I'm Agree with this.. Caused Google will not suspect that's duplicate Meta Description Google Says: "Meta description information can give users a clear idea of your site's content and encourage users to click on your site in the search results pages " You can Read More about Meta Tag Description Here : http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35264&hl=en
People use the same tags because they have lots of pages and its a lot of effort, but its necessary to have unique tags as each page is unique
