SEO per product

Hi, Most ecomm solutions these days allow you to enter custom meta tags for each product. i see zen cart by deafult dosent allow this so im going to modify it to allow me to. however im not familaer with the zen cart coding structure so im just going to make a sepreate seo admin

for me to add alt and title tags to product images
page title keywords and descriptions per product

is there anything i really need to know that may prevent me doing this. im going to make it 100% detached from the main zen cart. and pull/insert data directly from the databse.

IE
SELECT * FROM zen_products

then for each result pull down the products_image feild insert that along with the image title tag and a unique id into a seprate table and then on the page for displaying the image select * from newtable where products_image =the image name pulled by deafult then echo alt="$products_image_title"

i guess my main question is will doing this break the normal zen code i know some times with these cart they have embedded function and if modified like this it will stop working

Re: SEO per product

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what the black and white icon on the far right of the product (and category) input page is for?
