SEO Friendly Dynamic Page Titles December 20, 2009 10:31PM |
A simple mod to let Sphider look better for Google (and for your users). Just add everything in between the # symbols (don't add these, they're just for show)
(include the following in ./templates/standard/header.html)
##############################################
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE><?php echo $pagetitle ?></TITLE>
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $pagedescription ?>America's leading space portal.">
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $pagekeywords ?>futurism,outer space,X-Prize">
</HEAD>
##############################################
(next, include the following line near the top of ./search.php. On my platform it worked to put it directly under the line "require_once("$include_dir/categoryfuncs.php"
;"
##############################################
if ($start <= 1) {$pagestart = "";} else {$pagestart = " [".$start."]";}
if ($query != "" { $pagetitle = $query." ".$pagestart; $pagekeywords = $query.", "; $pagedescription = $query." resources and ".$query." links, at ";} else { $pagetitle = "American Antigravity Search"; $pagekeywords = ""; $pagedescription = "";}
##############################################
That's it! Two simple lines of code. Here's some output from my example:
.
..
...
....
.....
[Main Search Page]
Title: American Antigravity Search
Description: America's leading space portal.
Keywords: futurism,outer space,X-Prize

didn't work for me either. I tried a " ) " it removed the error and made my keywords change. Now to just customize my message a bit...Quote
Tip: Replace the smileys with ;
Thanks for the quick easy mod.
Can we put code inside a BB code tag? Here's a try:
require_once("$include_dir/categoryfuncs.php";
if ($start <= 1) {$pagestart = "";} else {$pagestart = " [".$start."]";}
if ($query != "" { $pagetitle = $query." ".$pagestart; $pagekeywords = $query.", "; $pagedescription = $query." resources and ".$query." links, at ";} else { $pagetitle = "American Antigravity Search"; $pagekeywords = ""; $pagedescription = "";}
Ahh yes that works just use a standard BB code tag, I can't write an example here because it'll . . . um well how about this, each character will have an extra space between them: [ c o d e ] Place your code here [ \ c o d e ] I think that'll work.
Oh there's a lso a button on the message editor bar, that is titled "formatted code" that'll do the same thing. It's to the left of the "Center text" button or the third to last button if you prefer.

If you use this, be sure to replace the references to his site with yours, otherwise all you're doing is building up the SEO for his site and doing a whole lot of nothing for yours. I've place the areas you need to replace in bold since Tim failed to tell you this.......
