What
are Meta Tags?
Meta
tags can be used to identify the author of the page, the keywords
and description of the page, what HTML specs the page follows, refresh
rates, and many other things that are not directly visible on the
webpage. The information provided as keywords and description are
indexed/used by some of the search engines. Meta tags are used in
the beginning of the HTML source code.
Do
all Search Engines refer to Meta Tags?
Not
all search engines look at information in the meta tags. Even then,
it is useful to include information in these for the search engines
that do refer to it. It is also useful to provide information through
these meta tags especially for pages that lack any body text. Examples
of search engines that refer to meta tags: Lycos and Infoseek
Which
of the meta tags are useful to search engines?
There
are several meta tags. The ones useful for search engine listing
are the keyword and description meta tags. And the one that is useful
to inform the search engine not to index the page is the robots
meta tag.
How
to use the keywords meta tag?
Identify
the main words and phrases that are associated with locating a site
like yours. Use these words and phrases in the keywords meta tag.
There is a limit to anticipating all the words and phrases associated
with your website and to include all the variations in terms of
spelling, singular vs. plural, active vs. passive verbs, separate
words vs. phrases. It makes good sense to think of a few probable
keywords and leave it at that.
How
to use the description meta tag?
Write
a description describing your website and include this in the description
meta tag. It makes sense to write a good description to give the
users a fair idea about your website.
