Extension talk:MetaKeywordsTag

This extension is just adding another meta tag for keywords, not replacing the existing one. Does anyone know if this is allowed/supported by search engines?

 


 * AFAIK, Search engines don't really use meta keywords anymore. But I have no idea whether those that do will acknowledge multiple such tags. --Jimbojw 15:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Multiple Meta Tags
According to this article, there is no problem with multiple meta tags.

Replace existing keywords patch
Here is a patch for replacing existing meta keywords tag:

--- MetaKeywordsTag-orig.php	Fri Aug 21 15:04:03 2009 +++ MetaKeywordsTag.php	Fri Aug 21 15:05:33 2009 @@ -118,7 +118,7 @@     # Merge keyword data into OutputPage as meta tags foreach ($data AS $item) { $content = @base64_decode($item); -       if ($content) $out->addMeta( 'keywords', $content ); +		if ($content) $out->mKeywords = explode(',', $content); }     return true; }

How about to add special parameter to tag which will decide what to do with existing keywords?

Possible actions:


 * add duplicate meta keywords tag (default, for compatibility)
 * append new keywords to existing
 * replace existing

This extension seems to be broken for MW 1.16. Any suggestions on a patch or other fix? -- Prodoom 13:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
