Tired of search results page being of little to no SEO benefit? Here is a little trick that should help.

First, in the <head> put above the <title> and <description> tags.

<%
pnstring=Trim(Request.QueryString("pg"))
if pnstring<>"" then
PageNumber=" Page "&pnstring&" "
else
PageNumber=""
end if
%>

This will add the search results page number to the tags.

Second, do this with the tags.

<title>Search for WHAT EVER CONTENT IS APPROPRIATE TO YOUR WEBSITE<%=PageNumber%></title>
<meta name="description" content="Search results for '<%=htmlspecials(request("stext"))%>' on yourwebsite url<%=PageNumber%>">


Using a site I am currently building, this is the result.

<title>Search for Anti-Fatigue, Anti-Static, Anti-Slip Industrial and Commercial Mats and Runners Page 1 </title>
<meta name="description" content="Search results for 'anti fatigue' on IndustrialMats.net Page 1 ">

For PHP, use <?php print htmlspecials($stext)?> in the description tag. Sorry, I do not have a page number script for PHP.

Hope you find this beneficial.

Ecommerce Templates PHP users can download Dynamic page <title>, <meta description> and meta og:tag code, including the Page Number tack-on trick, from my website page here >>

However, I do personally consider that "search.php" should be coded <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

And "products.php" pages be <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">

Because they do in fact contain Duplicated Content of the more beefy detailed description on your "proddetail.php" pages, which is what you actually do want indexed as a top priority to appear in Search Engine Results pages.
