It really depends on why you're adding the meta tag in the first place! Google does not put much stock in most meta tags to begin with, so it shouldn't make much difference... unless the sole reason you're adding the tag is for SEO, in which case generating it in a client script is just silly. Keep in mind, most browsers will ignore runtime-generated meta tags anyway, so you may not be accomplishing anything at all...

You're right.
These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

It makes no sense to add META tags using JavaScript because search engines do not evaluate scripts and hence they will never see those tags.

You can do it , but it makes no difference .
Like this :

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
  <title>Untitled Document</title>
  <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
  function meta1()
  {
  //<![CDATA[
      var var1 = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
      var1.innerHTML  += '<meta http-equiv=
                  "Content-Type"        content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />';
      alert(var1.innerHTML);
  //]]>
  }
  </script>
  </head>
<body>
  <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">meta1();</script>
  </body>
  </html>

Hi,

We have a website created using some templates in ASP.NET 1.1. and pages are manages using Kentico.
Earlier we have some url's having space(' ') in them we changed those space by underscore ('_') in those pages.

Lets suppose initially it was "www.xyz.com/abs pqr.aspx" and we changed it to "www.xyz.com/abs_pqr.aspx".
Now the problem is that it is showing same page on both the url's (with space and underscore), even search results on google shows url with old paths i.e. with Space between 2 words.
So on clicking on them correct page is opening but with wrong url. Ideally it should have to show that Page not found error. So now we have same page opening for 2 url's as follows in which second one doesn't exists.

"www.xyz.com/abs_pqr.aspx" (Current URL)
"www.xyz.com/abs pqr.aspx" (Old/Non-existent URL)

Can someone please tell me why this is happening, and what's solution for it.

Regards,
Parag

Can you send URL's that are showing this behavior.

secondly, i need little more information from your side.
The code change of URL's was server sided or just a change in .aspx page(i.e. HTML)

Hi Aman,

Here are the urls.

Wrong one: "http://www.nagarro.com/Technologies/Java%20Development.aspx"
Correct One: "http://www.nagarro.com/Technologies/Java_Development.aspx"

There wasn't code change I just changed the urlname as I am using Kentico to manage this site and there we can create many pages from one template and modify content easily depending on requirement.

Parag

Hi
I don't have any idea about Kentico.

What my observations are as:
1. On the webserver, both the pages are residing(a_b.aspx and a b.aspx). Try deleting the pages with white spaces from the server. This will solve your problem.

2. Regarding the Pages in google, Both the pages have Meta tags. Till the Pages reside on the Hard of Server they will be displayed in Search results. Once you delete them, they will be automatically removed from Search, after a time interval. Mean time 404 error will be displayed

Try the solution, if problem presist please feel free to contact

Hi,

The problem is that on server we have only one page i.e. a_b.aspx and but it is showing both. The page a b.aspx have no existence.

If you compare source code for both the files then you will see that both are identical except the names.

Parag
