Problem with meta tags

Jeff, that's not the way it should work. Look at the store that we used in our example (e.g. http://www.ormsbyeditions.com/productcart/pc/c197.htm). The product and category names are reflected in the <TITLE> meta tag as you browse the store.

Make sure that you are using the updated version of include-metatags.asp that is part of the download.

Another issue users might want to take into consideration is the problem of SE spaming,  I still need to do something about it but tagging every page title with the company name and tagline will probably create issues with google rankings.

I have about 800 hand done static pages and about 1200 cart generated pages

It is not so obvious now but orginally my catalog title was about 15+ words long, like my home page title with most of my money keywords woven in the sentence.

I was concerned when I noticed that every the page title had a 2 word category description and a 15+ indentical word tag based on my main catalog site title following it

http://www.ultimatewatermassage.com/ProductCart/pc/viewCat_h .asp?idCategory=78

the long title seems to work well on my home page and some major category pages, in my main site as long as each title is unquie and related to page content, in most/many of the 4 million plus result terms,the 1 and 2 positions in my field  have very long page title and very keyword heavy. But when that tag is repeated on every page It raises concerns.
