[ic] Interchange really bad for SEO?

[JB]

I always liked to create an "SEO" Table in the database, and then simply have the template, on page load, load with custom entries from the table, or if there was no entry for the page, use a default entry.

It is better to store it in a "SEO Pages" table, than with the data, for example the item data. That way you can create an entry for just about anything and everything is in one place. For example search category result pages.

The only thing this does not handle, and really how can you, is the results from a search based on user input. :)

Google, Bing, and Yahoo all seriously frown on the duplication of this meta data. Each page should have its own Title, keywords, and desctription. It may in some cases, need its own robot instructions ( NOFOLLOW, etc. ).
