    help question Meta tags for every page item?

    I see in the "Categories / Products - Top" and every level after that there is the meta tag editor.

    I would like to know if its necessary to add tags for every lowest level
    ( products them selfs ) or is it okay to just tag the folders that contain the products? All folders as the tree lays out have specific names relevant to the folders and products they contain.

    In short, all my stuff aint in the same folder! =0)

    I will be watching this thread religiously for the next few hours r so.

    Thanks in advance,
    John

    No, you do not "have" to add meta tags to all products.

    Make sure you have a look at admin>Configuration>Product Info

    for some default meta tag settings on your products....

    I decided to add meta tags to every product. When I was doing this, I opened a Word document and just copied and pasted the shared descriptions to each product. It was heck of easier than typing each one while still giving those spiders some food.

    Just my two cents worth...I am under the impression that using meta tags are getting to be useless. Most crawlers are now using page content more than tagging. Meta's are being misused, content wasn't real...those who use a word rich descriptive text on their pages are going to get a better shot in the future.

    I read similar with the exception that both meta tags and content-rich pages were considered, and priority given to each supporting the other.

    Does seem like this is in flux at the moment. I'll have to keep an eye out for where this leads.

    Thanks for sharing the info.

    I remember reading that now too! Yeah something to do with page content mattering too.
    Had a search result come up last night and the whole page was nothing but one incredibly long listing of model numbers each separated by a new line.
