HTML - Meta Name Question
Should meta name description and keywords be in all of my sites web pages or just the home page?
Thanks. Similar TutorialsI've seen basic META tags for things such as Author, Keywords, Description, and Copyright (I think that's all of them). So I was wondering what are all the different META Tags and what do they do? I'm not sure if I'm using them correctly or not. I've designed a web page using WebEasy and I'm going to have to insert the meta tags manually. I've figured out where the code has to go and I know the code has to be something like this: <meta name="keywords" content="keyword, keyword, keyword"> Anyway, my question is what if the keywords don't all fit on one line? Do I let it wrap around like this: <meta name="keywords" content="keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword"> Or do I start a new line, like this: <meta name="keywords" content="keyword, keyword, keyword"> <meta name="keywords" content="keyword, keyword, keyword"> Thanks Oh, and if I change the meta tags do I have to resubmit my site to google? Thanks Ok... I may have posted this in the wrong section but who cares anyway... I wonder if there is a way to add this <META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no"> "meta-thing" to all my HTML pages in my site. Can you add it to an external file or something??. The main point is that I don't want to include it in every single HTML file. Iv just created a website using CoffeeCup HTML Editer, but this is the first website which i have created using a HTML Editer instead of a sitebuilder provided by the hosting. In the sitebuilder i used for my old site, it provided what was called"SEO Wizard" which wrote the meta tags in the head for me. Now im using this HTML Editer, i have to write it myself.. On the template i used to start off, it provided the following as a start for me to enter the rest. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="Description" content="Your Title"> <meta name="author" content="CoffeeCup Software, Inc."> <meta name="Copyright" content="Copyright (c) 2010 CoffeeCup, all rights reserved."> <title>Your Title</title> <style... I can see myself that i need to add some sort of meta tag for my "Keywords". Im also not sure if there is any other codes i need to add, or removed if needed. Could someone help me please? Thanks! Note: Im not asking someone to add my keywords for me, etc.. lol. Im just looking for help on how to write it & then i can fill in the "Specific Stuff" for my site. Hi all I am new to html. I came throught tag <META NAME="Author" CONTENT="text"> I don't see any change in my web page including this tag. Can u please tell me what's the use of it. How can I see that information in my web page Hi, I have a website which is in greek. I was making an application to appear in this website but I have a problem with the characters, they appear like ? I had this problem before but was solved by adding a meta in the head part <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> the files are in utf-8 format and this meta exists in my head part but they still appear like "?" I would appreciate it if someone could advice me what to check. I can also provide a link, but I will send it by personal message to the interested. Thanks in advance, Dinos I'm trying to put a meta tag description on my homepage, but it's not working because when I search for it on google, a different description shows up. This is my head: <head> <meta name="description" content="The reviewing site for New York City landlords.

Code: <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0"> hello i dont no if i have written these meta tags correctly, because my website doesnt come up on google. Any Help? HTML Code: <head> <title>Dark-Host.net</title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta name="keywords" content="dark-host web hosting cheap affodable efficent webhosting free australian dark host " /> <meta name="description" content="Dark-Host.net, Cheap and Affodable Web Hosting! /> </head> Hi, I noticed that if you insert meta tags into html somewhere in the body tags, the browser still recognizes them. I know its bad practice, but do search engines frown on putting meta tags in the body INSTEAD of the head? Cheers, Doug Hi I'm dealing with a little problem here and no one seems to know the right answer. I want google to show my site on the first row, when someone types in the domain name in the search bar(The domain name, not some random search options, like cheese or cutlery). The domain name is unique and doesn't have any similar counterparts on the internet. Still it doesn't show up, even as further down as at page 10. Does anyone have an idea how i can fix that. Should I use some sort of meta-tag type or is there a different, more efficient solution. Thanks Hi guys, just a quick question regarding meta-data and metatags. After a recent overhaul of our google adwords campaign its come to light new search options inside of adwords regarding things like; search - broad search [search] - exact match "search" - phrase match -search - exluding search etc... Are meta-tags sensitive to this, and if so would this have an effect on search engine visability levels... now I already know some search engines do not use Meta-data... but for the others that do, it's most likely worth doing... Any help is much apprciated. Ben The code in a script I'm using shows this code on the main page: Code: <meta name="Description" content="[var.description;htmlconv=no;]"> <meta name="Keywords" content="[var.tags;htmlconv=no;]"> Shouldn't their be a line "meta tags=" for the keywords? Or will replacing the word "Keywords", in the code above, with some keywords, do the trick? Or do I need to add keywords elsewhere? Thanks basicaly what the title says i have no idea what they do. Please explain in nooob terms My page is initially displayed with some default values in the text elements. I'm using a refresh. If a user changes a value of an element, the refresh overwrites with the initial values. 1. Is there a way to keep what the user has typed in this situation ? 2. Is there a way to distinguish a metatag refresh or submit has taken place ? Have a general question for meta tags. Beyond description and keywords, is there anyother categoires. Also should i put the exact same meta tags on each page of specifiy them for the page?? Thanks for your help caleb Can Someone please explain the relevance of using x-meta-robots? <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" /> Cheers! MAs I hate SEO Hey! I have run my site through the W3C validator and have a bunch of errors coming up for problems supposedly within my meta keyword and meta description tags. I've been trying to figure out why it's not liking what i have but can't figure it out. If anyone could help me out i would really appreciate it! My webpage is paleocookbook.com and the problems i'm having appear when doing a quick validator check at http://validator.w3.org Any help is greatly appreciated. |
