Burt's Dynamic Meta Tags

[Guest]

Hi.

I've been tring to install Burt's Dynamic Meta Tags on a shop using STS ( I read this this and this ) Strangelly it show's the description in the search box. I am tring to run it on a osC 2.2 M2 site. Has anyone else had this problem?

 

Thanks

can you show an example.

In the meta tag code, change all instances of $keywords to $meta_keywords

Hi

I've just implemented this dynamic code as well by burt and checked my source code on the products pages and this is part of it shown exactly below with the spaces:

 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<title>My Store - BenQ Joybee110 MP3 Player 256MB Orange</title>

<meta name="keywords" content="BenQ Joybee110 MP3 Player 256MB Orange - My Store">

<meta name="description" content="

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joybee 110 can play MP3, WAV, and TVF audio files, and provides 7 preset

equalizer modes for a diverse range of music, satisfying your yearning for music

wherever you go. The Joybee 110 is also a powerful digital aud">

 

 

I'm just wondering does that extra space in the middle there matter and affect the descriptions in search engines if they use the description meta tag cause I think its there because I have included an html image link before my products descriptions. Any ideas please???

 

Thanks

Does anyone know if that space there in my dynamically created meta description will have any negative effects please????

You can try to trim it off:

 

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo trim($keywords); ?>">

 

It might work, it might not. I have not tested it. Please post back to thread whether it works or not.

Sorry for the late reply, my sites been down and couldn't do anything...

 

I tried that trim code and it seems to work quite well, heres what it looks like now:

 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<title>My Store - BenQ Joybee110 MP3 Player 256MB Orange</title>

<meta name="keywords" content="BenQ Joybee110 MP3 Player 256MB Orange - My Store">

<meta name="description" content="Joybee 110 can play MP3, WAV, and TVF audio files, and provides 7 preset

equalizer modes for a diverse range of music, satisfying your yearning for music

wherever you go. The Joybee 110 is also a powerful digital aud">

 

Its looks much better now. However, if there is a blank line within my products descriptions, those dynamic meta descriptions will show a blank line as well still:

 

<meta name="description" content="The NB5580 offers an outstanding array of up-to-the-minute broadband sharing

features in a single, cost-effective device.

 

The NB5580 comes complete with:

 

-Integrated ADSL modem

-Advanced SPI-DoS Active Firewall"

 

 

Anyway thanks alot burt for your suggestions! :)
