AM: Meta tags in Article Creator/Editor
|
Can't Post

I would like to see the Article Editor include fields for meta tags, like Page Title, Description and Keywords that are generated within the static html page that is created for each article.
One of the main values and reasons for building a site with a lot of cotent is to rank well in search engines for selected keywords and search terms. It is critical to have the meta tags correct to benefit from this. It would be great if we could enter this data in the Article Editor to be generated automatically.

right now html is set like this:
<title>$art_name_he$</title>
try using the sparefields in a way such as:
<title>$art_field2$</title>
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="$art_field3$>
<META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="$art_field4$">
you can also use it this way:
<title>Site Name $art_field2$</title>
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="A great site for stuff $art_field3$>
<META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="word,two,three,etc,$art_field4$">

Another thing you can do is to use the summary for the description and the body of the article for your bulletin text.
Another is to set up a robots control by adding a dropdown in the "create an article" page using a spare field. Include INDEX, NOINDEX.
Then set up the robot tag using the field assigned and then when you create an article you tell it if you want the bot to spider it or not.
It works WONDERFUL!!!!

I tried using the summary, but if I have an image placeholder contained in the summary, the meta tag bombs and displays the text above the page, looking obviously like something has broken. And, the text had some sporadic coding elements , etc) spattered in the meta tag from the summary.
What I finally went with was:
adding two spare fields, and then using them in the header as:
<meta name="keywords" content="$art_field2$">
<meta name="description" content="$art_field3$">
Now, I just copy the summary (minus any image placeholders) into the description tag, and it works just great (plus no formatting tags).

I think that's what we're all doing. It would be nice though if this were added so we didn't have to use our spare fields.
