View Full Version : making Search engines look at a different page?

I'm running a dynamic website, and search engines dont seem to want to use my meta description (news excerpts are not what my site is about). Is it possible with mod_rewrite, or a script (php preferably) that can force the search engines to look at a static HTML page to get the meta description from? Or am I stuck with the search engines wanting to use excerpts from my news?

you're stuck

any attempts at what you propose will be viewed as cloaking
and most search engines take a very dim view of that

been there dun that

*sigh*

There goes that idea... :bawling:

I get more hits from search engines than my own site... (lots of hits, but no real visitors).
