Mass creation of keyword meta tags into HTML pages?
-
Hi, I am creating a website which will consist of a dedicated page for each city and town in the country (so a few thousand potentially). The keywords in each page will be the same apart from the city or town name. Rather than create each page manually by hand :( , is there something in the .NET framework which will help insert text into a HTML file, therefore speeding up this process? Thanks in advance Adrian

Are you sure this is the best solution? Have you considered developing a simple content-management system, storing your page content in an external source e.g. database or XML files? You could then develop an ASP.NET website to display the data, dynamically fetching the content for a particular city/town as required.

Thanks Paul. I could be wrong here, but by having some static pages on a website is more beneficial for Search Engine Optimisation. I still plan to have dynamically generated content on each page, but as far as keywords and title tags etc, these would be static HTML. I've read that search engine indexing does not like pages with lots of querystring parameters in the URL. The site I'm working on will only be a success if it can rank highly on search engine results, so I am conscious of making the site as Search Engine friendly as possible. Any thoughts? Thanks Adrian

Search engine optimization isn't a subject I'm particularly familiar with. However a quick Google[^] search threw up some interesting articles. Url rewriting appears to be a recommended technique for optimizing dyamically generated web pages with search engines.
