basicaly what the title says i have no idea what they do.
Please explain in nooob terms Similar TutorialsConflict between Mime Type and Document Type... Morning - I have recently been learning CSS and have been upgrading my site to Semantically correct code. The first templat I am building is the following page http://www.colletts.co.uk/colletts_n...ndexflash.html and validates here validates... sort of. Should I be worried about the mime type, what effect will this have on the page. If I follow the instructions and change the file extension to xhtml all hell breaks loose - http://www.colletts.co.uk/colletts_n...dexflash.xhtml IE Error - can't open thios document etc... What am I doing wrong??? Best, Mas okey so one of my friends want me to make hes homepage up to date, and when i was looking trough the code i saw this meta tag, I dont realy know what it does so can any one help me?? Code: <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0"> 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. 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 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. 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. Find out if your landlord is a slumlord before you rent from them. ***** and moan about your existing landlord."> <meta name="Keywords" content="landlord, tenant, landlord tenant, small claims court, new york city, rent, deposit, security deposit, eviction, evict, slumlord, landlord law, tenant law, new york city tenant, rent new york city, landlord new york city, department of housing, sanitation, review, slumlord new york city" /> <title>The Landlord Intelligence Agency</title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> <link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="animated_favicon1.gif"> <style type="text/css"> a { text-decoration:none } </style> </head> Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? 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, 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 In terms of search engine ranking, is it better for a websites meta tags (title, keywords, and description) to be different on every page of the site?... or is it best to make one really great tag and copy/paste it into every page? I would think the first would be better but then there won't be the constant repetition of good keywords because every pages tags will be different. Should meta name description and keywords be in all of my sites web pages or just the home page? Thanks. Hello, I uploaded my first web site and I wrote some key words in the meta tags. <meta name="keywords" content="..."> <meta name="description" content="..."> <meta name="language" content="..."> <meta name="country" content="...> <meta name="robots" content="all"> The problem is that when I am writing on the google web page the keywords, it cannot find the web site. Can anyone help with the above problem?? 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 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 ? 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 Can Someone please explain the relevance of using x-meta-robots? <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" /> Cheers! MAs I hate SEO Hi All, I know Meta tags aren't a huge thing these days but I still like to use them, just wondering what everyones thoughts were on which ones to use? I think they are way too many, obviously 'description' and 'keywords' would be important... Any others? And anyone know of any good generators? Thanks! So I'm using CSS and the same header is used on every page. It includes all meta info, nav bar, company logo, etc. I read at the SEO opt sites that Meta data should be specific for each page to improve SEO (search engine optimization - google ratings). Those two seem to be at odds with each other: CSS good, but use different META info for every page. for example this is my code for an average page: Code: <?php
require 'head01.html'; // call HTML headers, same for all
require 'center11.html'; // call center code - another page
require 'footer01.html'; // call footer code - same for all
?>
CenterXX differs for every page but not Header01.html which has my META data. help. kc Hi all, A website I've been working on seems to be having some issues... Here is the website: www.codenamekingdom.com My issues is that my meta tags do not seem to be being read. For example I tried registering for google webmasters which requires you to add a meta tag and verify it. However it has been over two days and it is still not being able to be verified. Therefore I must assuming there is a problem with the meta tag. However it looks fine to me. Also I registered my url with google yesterday and it showed up for only about 6 hours and then disappeared, but it had been using the information provided with the url NOT the information I provided for search engines in my meta tags. Anyone have any idea why this might be? Appreciate the help |
