For a site with 200 pages that are kinda similar, partially random keywords?

Hi people.

I've got plenty of experience with (web)programming, but very little with SEO.

I run a tarot web game site (http://tarot-with-spirits.com) where I have 192 decks and 9 reading types at the moment, bringing the total number of unique URLs to at least (192*9) URLs. I also have an option for "Major Arcana cards only", so you could double the number of unique URLs even I think.

Point is, with this many unique URLs (that actually are crawled, my opensourced framework (http://mediabeez.ws) takes care of that), there's a unique opportunity to increase the number of keywords the site operates with..

I thought I'd share my code, it's short anyway, and ask if you people think that this is a good strategy, or something likely to get a site that uses it penalized..?

<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo getKeywords($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);?>">

function getKeywords ($url) {
$urlData = getKeywordsURLdata();
if (array_key_exists($url, $urlData)) {
return $urlData[$url];
} else {
$k = getNewKeywords();
$urlData[$url] = $k;
getKeywordsURLdataWrite($urlData);
return $k;
}
}

function getKeywordsURLdataWrite($urlData) {
$fp = dirname(__FILE__).'/keywords.urls.json';
file_put_contents ($fp, json_encode($urlData));
}

function getKeywordsURLdata () {
$r = array();
$fp = dirname(__FILE__).'/keywords.urls.json';
if (file_exists($fp)) {
$er = error_reporting(0);
$r = json_decode (file_get_contents($fp), true);
error_reporting($er);
}
return $r;
}

function getNewKeywords () {
$keywords = array (
'always' => array ('abc','def'),
'random' => array('ghi', 'jkl', 'mno', 'pqr')
);
$result = join (', ', $keywords['always']);
$numKeywords = rand (18,20);
$numRandomKeywords = $numKeywords - count($keywords['always']);
$randomKeywordsAdded = array();
for ($i=0; $i<=$numRandomKeywords; $i++) {
$randomKeyword = rand (0, count($keywords['random'])-1);
if (count($randomKeywordsAdded) >= count($keywords['random'])) break;
while (array_search($keywords['random'][$randomKeyword], $randomKeywordsAdded)!==false) $randomKeyword = rand (0, count($keywords['random'])-1);
$result .= ', '.$keywords['random'][$randomKeyword];
$randomKeywordsAdded[] = $keywords['random'][$randomKeyword];
}
return $result;
}

 

is your script randoming the keyword? If so, it is not a good idea as the keyword may be unrelated to the content of the page. It is not congruent.

 

Actually on this site it would be congruent.
And it's also serving the same kewords every time per unique subURL.

 

have a different keyword for different page.

 

A different set of keywords per unique sub-url, yep.
And you can specify which keywords will end up on all pages.

 

I don't have any knowledge about such script. But I think that it is useful.
