My Experience of Google and PHP pages is that the pages are googled, and
ranked. My pages also use the head.php to create the meta tags, the only
difference would be that mine are dynamic meta tags.
Creating dynamic meta tags is quite easy...and if you are relying upon
visitors to google search for your site then IMHO you would do better having
different meta tags for each page.
