Hello,

I have an issue with some meta data on my site and am hoping someone can help clear things up.  

On my site I use Ventrian News Articles in two places.  First in a classic model to display "Latest News" for my company.  Second, I also use it to display summaries of reports in a Report Library.  In terms of the Report Library, I am using NA along with two instances of NA Archives. There are a total of 15 reports, that are displayed 5 per page. The first NA Archives lets people filter the reports by year, the second lets them filter by subject. There are 7 options for filtering by year and 15 options for filtering by subject.

I use Google Analytics to monitor my site.  From this I know that Google has indexed 73 out of my site's 111 pages. Most of the pages that are NOT indexed are related to Ventrian NA.  GA also tells me that my site has many pages with duplicate meta descriptions and duplicate Title tags.  Coincidentally, virtually all of these pages have Ventrian NA.  Just to make things more interesting, I am using URL Master to simplify and remove duplicate URLs.

In my NA installation under SEO settings I checked the box for "use Canonical link."  Under module settings I have entered data under Title, Description, and Keywords.  Then for each individual article, I entered unique Titles, descriptions, and keywords.

The problem is when I surf my site all of the NA pages are displaying the same Title, Description, and Keywords I entered for the module.  It doesn't matter if I look at an individual article, search on some term, or go to Page 2 of a multi-page listing.  I always see the same meta data.  The meta data I entered for each article is being ignored.

When editing an individual article there is a fourth box under Meta Information called "Page Header Tags"  The pop-up help says Enter any tags (i.e., META tags) that should be rendered in the HEAD of this page's HTML.  I cannot seem to get this to work.  I first tried typing in: MetaTitle, MetaDescription, MetaKeywords.  Then I tried typing in Title, Description, Keywords.  Both times nothing happened.  I tried deleting the meta data from module settings and still no luck.

Obviously, I must be doing something wrong.  I am hopeful that once all of my NA pages have unique meta data, Google will eventually index them.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help!  Sorry for the long post.

P.S. I have a thread open at Ventrian, but wanted to open this up to the general community because maybe URL Master or some other setting is causing this problem.

P.P.S. I did skim through Lee's six training videos on NA.  Although helpful, they cover a very old version that does not have these features.  It would be AWESOME if Lee made some up-to-date training videos!
