Topic: Meta tag


  
 Meta tag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meta tags such as these have been the focus of a field of marketing research known as search engine optimization (SEO).
This data may then be used by search engines (such as Google) to generate and display a list of search results matching a given query.
In the mid to late 1990s, search engines were reliant on meta tag data to correctly classify a web page.

 Search Engine Optimization Tips
While meta tags are usually always part of a well optimized page they are not the be all and end all of optimizing your pages.
Meta tags were originally created to help search engines find out important information about your page that they might have had difficulty determining otherwise.
Any keywords phrases that you use that do not appear in your other tags or page copy are likely to not have enough prominence to help your listings for that phrase.

 Meta Tag Information
Meta tags provide information about your Web page to search engine robots so that the search engine can better understand what your site is about.
Meta tags provide this information in a format that the web crawlers/spiders that visit your site can understand.
These tags help web indexing robots better understand your website for the purpose of assigning it a ranking in their database under specific search terms.

 Keywords Meta Tag Generator
Keywords Meta Tag Generator is not intended to work with such files, but if it is applied to such a file the program will detect that it is a Unix/Linux-type file and will display a notice of such.
This avoids the problem (which would otherwise arise) of words which are at the start of a sentence, and thus capitalized, not contributing to the total for that word (assuming that the case of the initial letter should not be regarded as significant).
For a version of this software which acts on multiple files in multiple folders in a single operation see Keywords Meta Tag Generator Advanced Version.

 Back to Basics: META Tags / WebDeveloper.com ®
META HTTP-EQUIV tags are the equivalent of HTTP headers.
META tags with a NAME attribute are used for META types which do not correspond to normal HTTP headers.
Just like normal headers, META HTTP-EQUIV tags usually control or direct the actions of Web browsers, and are used to further refine the information which is provided by the actual headers.

 How to use the HTML META Tag
The META tag is part of the header information of an HTML document.
Without the META DESCRIPTION attribute, the search query will display on the "Search Results" page the title of the document (if no title is specified using the TITLE tag, the text "No Title" will display) and the first few text lines of the file.
This document provides instructions on how to use the HTML META tag to help search engines better index your Web documents.

 Meta Tag Information
The use of a Meta description tag for a summary of the page is the best way to get indexed by most search engines.
Some choose instead to display the first few sentences of your site as the query, and only use the tag for indexing purposes.
You need to create information that is understandable, accurate and can be indexed properly by Web agents.

 Hypertext Markup Language - 2.0 - Document Structure
An HTTP server must not use the META element to form an HTTP response header unless the HTTP-EQUIV attribute is present.
Their content is declared as CDATA, which means that no markup except the end-tag open delimiter-in-context is recognized (see 9.6 "Delimiter Recognition" of [SGML]).
The WIDTH attribute specifies the maximum number of characters for a line and allows the HTML user agent to select a suitable font and indentation.

 META - Metadata
META for this purpose rather than a true HTTP header causes some browsers to redraw the page after initially displaying it.
META element tells search engines and other robots not to index the page but to follow links on it:
For greater compliance by robots, authors should use the Robots Exclusion Protocol if possible.

 How to Create a Meta Description Tag for Search Engine Optimization
In other words, whether you use your important keyword phrases in your Meta description tag or not, it won't affect the position of your page in the SERPs for the words that are important to you.
Because of this, Google has simply found instances where the word SEO and the word copy were near each other, and used the surrounding text as the snippet.
Now, if I felt that "SEO copy" was a viable keyword phrase that people might be searching on, I may want to adjust my page accordingly so that the phrase appeared in my Meta description tag as well as somewhere in the body text.
