About Dynamic Meta Tag

What is Dynamic Meta Tag

If you ever used Wordpress, you would notice that some wordpress SEO plugins always have a dynamic meta tag function. It will generate a different tag for each post, not just the same keywords or description like default Blogger Meta tag.
Where do the different tags come from? The plugins will get description and keywords from post title, labels (tags, categories) and some words from post content. Some Wordpress plugins support this function are SEO Ultimate, All-in-one SEO Pack, Wordpress SEO by Yoast.

Why Dynamic?

Well, with the default meta tag, every page of your blog will have the same tag. That's mean the search engine can not clearly know about your page content, and will treat all page the same way. That's called "duplicate meta tag"and definitely not good for SEO.
