Meta Tags

[zeffer]

Were meta tags added this update? If so how do we access them to do it?

[admin]

Meta Tags are for video, when you view a video, you will see video title as page title, description as meta tag description and keyword.

Oh goodo, how can i make a decent meta tag for the actual website so google can see the meta tag. And also does the video meta tag get accessed by google easy now?

[admin]

FIND

{if $html_keywords ne ""}<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="{$html_keywords}">{/if}
{if $html_description ne ""}<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="{$html_description}">{/if}

REPLACE WITH

{if $html_keywords ne ""}<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="{$html_keywords}">{else}<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="ENTER YOUR KEYWORDS">{/if}
{if $html_description ne ""}<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="{$html_description}">{else}<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="ENTER YOUR DESCRIPTION">{/if}

This will allow you to specify keyword for other pages. This is not per page, but will allow you to specify keywords and description for non video pages.

Thanks Admin as usual good job.

OK at the risk of sounding really stupid...in what file(s) do we find this code to insert the tags?

[grynmoors]

NVM I found it, it's in header.tpl

I was using Dreamweaver find function to find the text and nothing was turning up, finally found it manually.

For what it's worth guys, google pretty much ignores meta tags. Much more likely to pick up on page titles.

Understood...but goggle isn't the only search engine. ;)
