dynamically changing meta keywords and descriptions

[Alchemist]

Hello everyone,

can someone point me in the right direction on how I can dynamically change meta keywords based on page content? That is, a page on restaurants should have restaurant related keywords, etc

thanks

Are you asking in a general 'algorithmic' sense, or a technical one which would be specific to the server side language you are using?

Without knowing how your DB is set up, it'll be hard to give you any details, but say you are on a page displaying a particular restaurant, you'll just want to query the DB and get whatever restaurant info you have. Then just parse it into a string and Response.Write it in the meta tags.

Something Like:

1. Open Database Connection
2. Open RecordSet
3. Query Database
4. Loop through results.
5. Parse the results into a string.
6. Resonse.Write the Meta tag to browser.
