Meta tags!

I use an include for the header section, which means that my meta tags are fixed. If anyone has any bright ideas for dynamically generating description and keyword tags please post!

Im not sure it hurts my google ranking too much because I understand that google looks at a lot more than meta tags, but it must count for something! any help appreciated!

In your header file, use something like;

PHP: Select all

<title><?php if( isset($page_title) ) echo $page_title;?></title>

<?php if( isset($page_description) ) echo '<meta name="description" content="' . $page_description . '" />';?>

<?php if( isset($page_keywords) ) echo '<meta name="keywords" content="' . $page_keywords . '" />';?>

Then in your main files, set the variables before you include the header file, for example;

PHP: Select all

<?php

$page_title = 'My title';
$page_description = 'My description';
$page_keywords = 'My keywords';

include 'path/to/header.file';
?>

I agree with this, the best method for your meta tags.

What you might want to do, if you have pages in various sub directories of your site, is look at including a base url in your page
