Here's another question sparked from the one about optimizing larger Web sites:

We've run across several folks who have 99% of their content coming out of a database and being displayed on just one page in a template. There may be 15 main categories on their site w/ hundreds of articles or pages of content, but because of the template the Title, Description, Keywords, etc...are always the same.

Would you recommend possibly making the META data also database-driven so that the Title of the article is the Title of the page, etc?

It seems that many times you get programmers who build the backend of these sites w/o any understanding of SEO and kind-of build you into a box.

Any thoughts? Also - are their advantages/disadvantages of having your content database-driven?
