Dynamic Meta Tags or Not??

**tomj** · 18-04-04

Ello all,

got a small issue with meta tags. I'm building quite a large site and dont know whether to do the meta tags by hand so i can personalise to a page much better and hopefully be better for SEO or....

do the meta tags in a dynamic fashion so I dont have to spend ages on each page???

does anyone have any insight into this??

TIA.

I think as long as the meta tag reflects whats on the page it doesn't matter whether its dynamically created or hand written.

I use both and have not noticed that one is better than the other.

If you have one page that can be dynamic for 1000's of products then do it dynamically.....

they are only meta tags

they don't need to be of too high a quality.

I'd create the meta tags dynamically.
If you have a page that is going to have 1000 products, I'd spend the time to create another page with 1000 products rather manually do meta tags for them all.

Just what I'd do personally...

If you populate the meta tags and title tag using script like PHP or ASP, its all server side so the search engine will only see the returned HTML.............sees the same as if you did it manually.
