21mayur, if you want different meta description for different pages, you can use the following code:

Code

<?if($URI_ID$='page11')?>
<meta name="keywords" content="enter key words here" />
<meta name="description" content="enter description here" />
<?endif?>

where page11 is a unique ID of each page (can be viewed via Admin Bar -> Builder -> List of page variables).

<?if($URI_ID$='page1')?> for all tags or only at start and <?endif?> statement is after tag for each page or only at end of all tags ?

For example:

Code

<?if($URI_ID$='page1')?>
<meta name="keywords" content="enter key words here1" />
<meta name="description" content="enter description here1" />
<?endif?>
<?if($URI_ID$='page2')?>
<meta name="keywords" content="enter key words here2" />
<meta name="description" content="enter description here2" />
<?endif?>
<?if($URI_ID$='page3')?>
<meta name="keywords" content="enter key words here3" />
<meta name="description" content="enter description here3" />
<?endif?>

etc.

21mayur, what Sunny is refering to is called a 'Conditional Operator'. You can read about them here - http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/37-471-1

The code that she has displayed will work, and you can use a different operator to be set per page or module. You can add the code between the header tags (displayed below), in Control Panel -> Design Customization -> *select page or module*

Code

For example these operators set it so if you are on page 1 (example), the page uses the specified description and keywords. Whereas if you are on page 2, you will see a different decription and keywords.

Kind regards,

21mayur, you need to wait, it may take weeks for the changes to take effect.
