Remove automatically generated keywords

[claire]

Hello,
Is there any way to remove the keywords that Oscmax automatically picks off of the site. I would like my keywords that I have added to be the only keywords read by search engines.

If I cannot remove them, can I rearrange the order so that my custom keywords come before the ones automatically generated from the site.


Thanks

30 seconds on the wiki

I have already read the wiki and changed my tags- the problem is that the auto tags grabbed from the site by oscmax appear before my added keywords. I want ONLY my keywords and to customize so that oscmax does not generate any keywords. Is this possible.


Thank you!

• on the default index page and all pages that use the default index. Simply add the custom text in whichever case you want to add to.

• You can place the custom text in any of the defined variables like this:

case CONTENT_INDEX_DEFAULT:
define('META_TAG_TITLE', TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION . HEADING_TITLE . $web_site_tagline);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', 'custom text here' . TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION . HEADING_TITLE . SECONDARY_SECTION . 'custom text here too' . WEB_SITE_KEYWORDS);
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', 'custom,keywords,here' . WEB_SITE_KEYWORDS . HEADING_TITLE);
break;

As above...

ridexbuilder what would a conditional statement look like for a specific page like...

http://tmc.demo/catalog/bathroom-safety-c-4.html

or

http://tmc.demo/catalog/bath-lifts-c-4_10.html

to have custom keywords on it?


It just seems better to add in a switch case or if statement to this page to capture individual pages rather than installing a whole new module.

1. I didn't write the wiki - just passing on info.
2. AFAIK the weight placed on Meta Tags is not so important as it used to be for Search Engines. A lot of effort for little gain. Remember: "Content is King".
3. IMO, it would be too cumbersome to include CASE statements for even just a few pages and custom meta tags/keywords would be better handled by a keywords SQL table - a contribution.
4. Syntax to check for individual pages? Pass. Mind is on other things (Feature Sets/MoPics) and I'd need to do the research in any case.

Sorry, I'm not the bringer of good tidings and as said above, don't get hung up on Meta Tags.

what would be the weight for higher rankings with SEO and Oscmax if meta keywords is fluffy?

If you categorically find out direct from Google, do tell.

I think Google is the Dark Side of the Force - they're controlling which sites "allow" keywords to take weight or not.
