I have a website that uses PHP include files and a configuration file to set some of the PHP variables - including the page titles and keywords. All well and good.

What I would like to do is change the order of the keywords within the page titles to enhance my listings in some search engines.

However the current set-up appears to have disadvantages with search engine placement, compared to my HTML based websites, because there is limited opportunity to have different page titles - since they are set globally for the entire website.

Apart from having different include files for each page - which kinda defeats the objective - is there another way round this ?

Any other tips for search engine placement with PHP pages appreciated.

Thanks if you can help

Well, if you still want to know (or for anyone else here)..
Try putting into your include a bunch of different titles that would be suitable for your pages ("MyDomain.com, Your solution to some problem" "MyDomain.com, The place for such and such solutions" etc) and randomly select from that array. As long as all the titles are sensical (and don't contain "MyDomain.com keyword1 keyword2 threekeywordsthatdon'tmakesense keyword4") it should look nifty, too.

Thanks webkid. Have used a random method for page content but had not thought about using it for page titles.
