SEO with Coldfusion, dynamically insert 'title' and 'meta' tags ?

[Dax_Trajero]

with regards to a database driven site that relies on a single page, 'show_merchandise.cfm' to display products, is it ok for Coldfusion to fill in the title and meta tags ?

eg.

<title>#title_info#</title>

<meta name="keywords" content="#keyword_info#">

A few things:

* BKBK is correct: don't crash two-year-old, alredy-closed threads with your own questions. Start your own thread.

* This is not a ColdFusion question, it's an HTML question.

* Read the HTML spec. If you're creating websites, you have a professional responsibility to know the tools you're working with.

* The spec is here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/, and relevant bits for you to read (although you need to read the whole lot) are: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/global.html; http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/global.html#h-7.4.4

* You should try to use Google to answer your questions before you solicit people to invest their time and energy answering questions for which the answers are readily accessible if you put some effort into it.

* If you have follow-up questions, start a new thread and ask your own question. However the stuff above should answer your current question, I think?

Adam. Thanks for your pointed comments and I didn't realise I was doing something wrong by asking within a thread. I appreciate and thanks again for your time. I will remember that next time, but in the meantime I will find an alternative. Thanks again.

I myself find this topic rather humorous. Just in this post alone you find two different view points, as I have found through a couple months of research, forum posts, and my own testing and google searches. Its rather like the arguement over which came first, the chicken or the egg.

I have articles on my desk right this minute, both of which supposedly quote sources from google, saying complete opposites about dynamic URL structures. One says "the default of dynamic url structures contain parameters which google is not capable of indexing". Then I have another article that says google CAN index dynamic URL's as long as they arent passing more than 2 and dont contain certain characters like slashes and periods.

As far as I have read and found out personally, google search engines index already parsed webpages. I have a totally dynamic website I have been building the last few months, and as I have read, as long as you are not passing more than 2 parameters in the URL, then the site gets indexed fine. I think it's more important to have a unique page title and relevent page content with images and alt & title tages.

For me I just did what I thought would work, and so far it has. I have dynamic URL's that pass a brand name and a product number. Within the next couple of months, I will definately be able to see for sure.

Having no knowledge regarding Meta tags and titles for indexed marketing. Targeted customers and inbound link building are performed by seo services Los Angeles in a presentable way. Their top priority is customer satisfaction. Boosting traffic through optimization is undoubtedly common but long term results are availed only with quality publishing.

You can use ColdFusion to dynamically insert 'title' and 'meta' tags by pulling data from your database and embedding it in your page headers. I’ve done this before while working at an SEO agency (https://pearllemonseo.ca/), and it’s a great way to optimize content for search engines!
