Josh, I wrote into the http://railsforum.com yesterday and heard no reply on a topic related to this. When Rails programmers' deploy a 'naked' application to the web before it has any user activity, it is VERY unattractive to search engines. I thought it would be wise to embed one's 'keywords' into a few text fields while generating 'placebo' records upon initial deployment. I'd like to write a simple record generation routine that reads from a KEYWORD hash and at various intervals substitutes these keywords with a variable. Could/would you point me in the right direction of getting started with this. Thank you, David
Josh, I've thorough searched the web for any Rails code relating to this and find none. To me, it's just another example of how Rails programmers' are decoupled from the world of business. I'd expire records based on time. These 'keyword' rich records would be groomed out after reaching a certain age. If I could see a chunck of code that read an input record (as you describe in AWD, it would then run a 'block' that would run through a 'hash' and replaced words like REPLACEME with the next 'keyword' in the hash. I'm making great strides in developing the 'mother' of all web applications, but am religated to find and copy code as I don't have the intellect/experience to create my own. Obviously, I'm the business side of this, too. I am happy to share with the group, whatever I come up with. David
