Bad site index

[lexor]

Hello

I have nice indexu dir(7200 page indexed) but when i check google using site:domain.com command i see almost every page has the same description only title different.
How can i tell google to show only link details description?
Im running indexu 5.4
Any idea?

That's probably your meta tags at work. You can change them in the admin panel.

Hello

Ok i make it clear, according to SEO if you have unique content you get better rank. Pls check the link: Here
You ll see the meta description always same in google.Thats the problem cause for example under arts-humanities/awards/ title should be only (or first word) awards and the indexed description should be the link description.
I hope you get my point.
Thanx a lot

That's probably your meta tags at work. You can change them in the admin panel.

I got your point in your first post, your description meta tags are all the same.

My answer still stands, change the description tag in your pages. How you change them is up to you. You can do a lot of things with them including using some tags to make them unique per page.

For more details, take a look at detail.html and find the line below

meta_description="$link_description"

You can alter the meta_description line and use variables there to put whatever you would like for the description.

Well if you see the subpage descriptions what googel indexing you ll notice nothing to do with meta, google dont read meta from subpages thats why all of the subpage description are the same.

Meta description in google index always the same even in your demo directory!

Thanx

You can change your page titles doing the same thing I described as above.

page titles, meta tags, description, everything is customizable. Check detail.html and you'll see that you can alter the titles using text and variables.

The demo by the way, is completely "stock". Nothing in it has been modified.

i don't know wether this post will help you or just confuse you more. if i read your post correctly, then this should help you. what i did was just make some amendments to detail.php & detail.html. This displays description and keywords for search. As far as i recall, there were no changes to any class files. these pieces of code are just additions to the code and should be slotted in to your existing code. hope it helps.

DETAIL.PHP

// get description
    $query      = "select description, category_id from idx_link where link_id = '$id'";
    $result     = $dbConn->Execute($query);
    $description = $result->Fields("description");
    $category_id = $result->Fields("category_id");
    
    // get keywords
    $query      = "select keywords, category_id from idx_link where link_id = '$id'";
    $result     = $dbConn->Execute($query);
    $keywords = $result->Fields("keywords");
    $category_id = $result->Fields("category_id");

DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "detail.html",
                    "\$page_title,\$description,\$keywords,\$avg_review,\$num_review,\$avg_review_image,\$link_detail,".
                    "\$pagination,\$review_rows,\$ofc_review,\$link_id,".
                    "\$category_id,\$category_name,\$category_path,\$category_path_with_link");
  } 

DETAIL.HTML

<%include file="header.html"
          title="$page_title"
          meta_keywords="$keywords"
          meta_description="$description"
%> 

remember to make a backup of files before making any changes. if this is not what you are looking for, please excuse me for posting. good luck.
