Hi, I have a embedded video website comprised of a main page, with header (head.php). Head.php contains the usual meta info on top. Ex: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>blah blah</title> <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" /> <meta name="revisit-after" content="1 days" /> <meta name="keywords" content="blah blah" /> <meta name="description" content="blah blah " /> The title and keywords on head.php are static when on main page, which is fine with me. Here's my problem/question: When I were to click one of my movie thumbs from the main page, it opens up a viewer page called view_video.php. This page contains a unique title of the video, along with tags (keywords). I want to be able to have the video title appear in <title>blah blah</title> and the tags appear in <meta name="keywords" content="blah blah" />. The title/tags come from mysql database. This way every video page has it's own unique title/keywords for the google bots to crawl. This should help, I've posted my code. head.php : http://pastebin.co.za/650 view_video.php : http://pastebin.co.za/651 Title is defined as: $video['title']; Tags defined as : $video['tags'] Hope someone can figure this one out! Thanks!!

Ok, well the reason I ask this is because based on my experience competing with high-volumed search keywords, SEO takes a lot of time and effort. I was wondering what quality SEO work is worth to most companies looking to rank in the top positions. I offered a potential client top keyword positions for like $1k (I think) for a 6 month campaign. On top of this would be additional costs needed for links, content, etc. Is that fair or not? I don't understand how these "SEO experts" (according to GetAFreelancer) are able to offer #1 positions for like $100. Are these blackhats or noobies?

Does Google penalize sites that have backlinks from paid directories? Does it matter if they are strictly paid directories or a combination of paid, free & link exchange directory?
