I was wonder: If I put my site's META tags in SSI INCLUDEs, will the METAs still work? When a search engine spiders my site, will it find the tags in the properly place if I use INCLUDE?

I figure this would be a good way to ensure the same standard tags on all pages of my site. Also make it easier to change the tags in one place than in each and every page.

A clear YES.

Another questions if whether its good to use the same META tags for each page because they are intended to summarize the content of each individual page.

Later,

I C your point. Still, I think having at least some of the standard META stuff in SSI INCLUDES (copyright, author, revisit etc) would make support and changes easier.

Thanks for the reply.

Although this would work fine it would be just as easy to use a multiple file search and replace when you need to change these files...
