    SEO Dynamic title using articleTags

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    Hi I am new to Umbraco, However I have an existing site I am trying to improve for SEO.

    The dynamic article pages have been setup where dynamic articleTags pages use the same page title so aren't listed by the search engines.

    I am trying to reference the articleTags and populate the title, therefore create unique titles for each dynamic page created where:

    https://domainname.com/article?tag=test1

    Would produce:

    In my main template I have the following but I must be missing something as it doesn't output the articleTags used in the page.

    @if (Model.HasValue("articleTags"))
{
    <title>@home.Sitename | @Model.Name  | @(Model.Value<string>("articleTags"))</title>
}
else if (Model.HasProperty("metaTitle") && Model.HasValue("metaTitle"))
{
    <title>@home.Sitename | @Model.Name  | @(Model.Value<string>("metaTitle"))</title>
}
else
{
    <title>@home.Sitename | @Model.Name  | @(home.Value<string>("defaultMetaTitle"))</title>
}

    Help Appreciated. Regards Lee

    Hi Lee,

    according to the docs the tags can be referened like this:

    @if(Model.GetProperty("articleTags") !=null){
    <ul>
        @foreach(var tag in Model.GetProperty("articleTags").Value<IEnumerable<string>>()){
            <li>@tag</li>
        }
    </ul>
}

    Thanks Brendan, Yes got there in the end also here's the code snippet that works for my title, but absolutely not !=null was key in the if statement: 

    @if (articleTag != null)
{
    <title>@home.Sitename | @Model.Name  | @articleTag</title>

}
else if (Model.HasProperty("metaTitle") && Model.HasValue("metaTitle"))
{
    <title>@home.Sitename | @Model.Name  | @(Model.Value<string>("metaTitle"))</title>
}
else
{
    <title>@home.Sitename | @Model.Name  | @(home.Value<string>("defaultMetaTitle"))</title>
}

    Thanks for your support, regards Lee
