No it doesn't. It just downranks you... which is worse. :) Google is capable of figuring out what the page is about most of the time. It's just a bitch about compliance to their guidelines. They seem to have God complex or something. At any rate, it's a good idea to make web2py as automated as possible in this sense. "page title | title" is the form I use on all my stuff (check out http://www.experts4solutions.com/) and proven to work well, and should be the default in templates. I don't remember how description and keywords are assigned, but it's in some global, iirc. PageRank is mostly dead or dying, but Google probably has something equally nasty nowadays. The main point of SEO is to just apply the stuff Google talks about in their webmaster guidelines and to actually produce good content. There's nothing more to it. -- Branko Vukelić [email protected] [email protected] Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group
