I’ve recently completely redesigned my company’s website (a 70-hour week, la la la), and I’ve compartmentalised all repeated elements into externally referenced JavaScript files. I want to put all the keywords meta tags into a similar file (thus):
document.write('<META name="keywords" content="bla bla bla bla">');
However, I’m worried that search engine spiders won’t pick this up if they don’t parse the HTML, but just scan it as a flat text file. Does anyone know how they work? Would they haul in my external JS file and read it, or would they just skip over the call:
Search engine spiders aren’t likely to pick up meta tags that are dynamically generated using client-side scripting. But don’t worry about it; from what I hear virtually no search engine spiders take the “keywords” meta tag into consideration anyway. I think Inktomi is the only one that still do…
Uh, a sink is were stuff goes (a la heatsink), and a source is where stuff comes form.
Google ranks on the number of sites linked to and from a website to measure its popularity/relevance. Don’t know how it decides what the subject is though.
Here’s a fascinating article about google’s technology published in April this year.
jjimm, don’t be a search engine whore. Your company won’t thank you for putting “teen sluts, anna kournikova, naked britney spears etc.” on their site and I won’t thank you for the site popping up when I’m searching for - ahem - unrelated material;)
My cave is bloody freezing!!! I wouldn’t mind when its 30 degrees outside its like ten inside. And the temp outside drops to about 10deg at night. But at least I get to say’ HEWN into the living rock’ a lot.
(If anyone is wondering my location should say Goreme Its a very strange place, and I know I shouldn’t be reading the SDMB).

When you told him to get back into his cave, I thought you were asking him to resume lurking. Sometimes it pays to think literally.
micilin, you can tell 'erself that I said she’s a troglodyte, at least temporarily.
