Requires a tag in html meta tags when you are creating your web page, many pages do not use tags at all, and I must confess that I have not used my home page, though I put the display Through this page. To put it briefly, meta tags used by search engines allowing them to more accurately list your site in their indexes.
You should insert the meta tag element at the top of your document, just after the <TITLE> element. It follows the usual form of tags, ie
<META name="something" content="something else">
but note that you don't have to have a </META> at the end of the tag, the way that you do with something like <BOLD> bold </BOLD>. However, make sure that each tag does not include any line breaks, since some search engines get a little bit tetchy about this.
How to write Meta tag?
There are basically four major Meta tags that you can use:
- <META name="type" content="document">
- The only resource type that is currently in use is "document" This is the only tag that you need to put in for indexing purposes, but use of the others is a good idea.
- <META name="keywords" content="a, list, of, keywords">
- Choose whatever keywords you think are appropriate, seperated by commas. Remember to include synoyms, americanisms and so on. So, if you had a page on cars, you might want to include keywords such as car, cars, vehicles, automobiles and so on.
- <META name="description" content="a description of your page">
- Depending on the search engine, this will be displayed along with the title of your page in an index. "content" could be a word, sentence or even paragraph to describe your page. Keep this reasonably short, concise and to the point. However, don't be so mean with your description that its not an appropriate reflection of the contents!
Other optional tags
Yup, theres a whole bunch of 'em. I've put in a couple of examples below:
- <META name="copyright" content="copyright statement"
- Pretty obvious what this one's for.
- <META HTTP-EQUIV="varname" content="data"
- This binds the varname to an HTTP header field. An http server might use this to process a document. This one's a tad trickier. If you included the following example:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="keywords" content="car,cars"
then, as part of a GET command the server would include the word car and cars in the HTTP response header.
- <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0; url=homepage.htm"
- This can be used in the HEAD section of the index.html file to redirect it to homepage.htm. The figure after content is the time in seconds that the browser waits before moving on.
There are a few others that you can include, such as "revisit-after" and "rating" if you want to be really comprehensive.
Points:
No need every single file that you have found your site - index needs to select just a few representative samples.
Again not just the page title tag description should describe this page should be.
Tags also can be used in the construction of dynamic documents, and I explored a little bit further, when I'll add more information.
