Meta TagsMETA tags allow search engines to categorize your page more accurately and quickly. They identify the important information about your site. You can write the code for these tags yourself, or using a generator. META tags go within the <HEAD> tags. Below are the tags I think are most important (keywords, description, language, author, & commands to the search engines that catalog your site ["robots"]). Replace the italicized word "yourwords" with words appropriate to your page. <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="yourwords"> For the keywords, try to think of as many words and variants of words as you can that might apply to your topic. For the description, be sure to put the very most important information first. Below is a sample of META tags for a hypothetical page by myself about the British novelist Margaret Oliphant: <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="margaret oliphant, marjoribanks,
novel, novelist, Victorian, nineteenth century, English, British, writer,"> |
