hotwired99 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi Does anyone know which pages to add title and metatags to so they have a chance of showing up on search engines better under the name of the item? I looked quickly in some of the php files, and under the tags there are echo php calls or whatever you call them, so I'm a little hesitant to add anything there. Any ideas? For instance I want the title of a page that displays a peruvian sweater to have a title like <title>Peruvian and Alpaca Sweaters - IncaMaine.com</title> And a few keyword and a description tag too. Any thoughts? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotwired99 Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Thank you all for leading me to the contributions that enable me to put meta tags. Is it also possible to do this by hand?? In otherwords just open the proper php file and view source, add or edit the tags and save/re-upload? Forgive my "newbieness" I've been designing websites for 2 years with notepad and html only plus javascript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardsandwars Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 You can for some pages, but not for ones where the content is generated dynamically, such as the product description page. (www.yourdomain.com/product_id=xx) Since this one page generates all of the product description pages, you can't hardcode it. If you want a unique title for each product description page, you'll need to install a contributionsas the one offered above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit. If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.
