Dynamic Meta Data?

Hi all,

I have a page where a user can edit the meta tags for the page which are
then written dynamically at the time of the page being redendered.

I was wondering today whether this actually works or not? ie, if a search
engine (google or whatever) is trawling a site, does it only read html
pages? What happens when it encounters an .asp? Surely it wouldn't execute
it and therefore be able to read the meta data correctly?

Any info on this would be appreciated, if my current way of doing it is not
appropriate I will need to invest some time into changing it.

Many thanks for your help,

Regards

Rob

I have been doing the same thing for many years in ASP, and now in ASP

..NET. It works just fine, the search engines look at them as just as if
they were HTML pages.

Hi Brad,

Many thanks for the reply, so even if it was something like this (for
simplicity)..

<%
strMetaKeywords = "ASP, Help, Newsgroup"
%>

<html>
<head>
<meta keywords="<%=strMetaKeywords%>"
</head>

That'll be just fine yeah?

Regards
