so I have a dotnetnuke site (4.0.3), and its recently (over the last 5 days) started to be crawled by googlebot.

now, me not being the brightest spark in the search engine fire, am a little confused about the keyword options in DNN.

I have "site settings" keywords, description all set up, now do you need to also add keywords to the individual pages? and if you do, will they overwrite the "site settings" keywords?

Thanks

Colin

Hi Colin,

All the pages inherit from the system settings, so you could just enter them there and the keywords from there would be on each page.

This is, however, not good for SEO - definitely go to each page and overwrite Title, Keywords and Description for every one. In Firefox you can right click and see the page info to see the metadata - this will help you refine your kewords for SEO (I managed to get http://www.pokerDIY.com to a respectable Google Page Rank of 5 in a very competitive market (poker) so it is possible with Sitemaps and DNN sites).

It's definitely worth spending the time on each page...

I would have to second what Rodney is saying. Sometimes, it's ok to copy and paste the key words, but the descriptions really do make a difference in my opinion, particularly if they are closely related to the topics on the pages.  It does take a bit of time, but well worth spent, and it's also a good exercise in being able to summarise the content on the pages.
