meta tags are used by some search engines.. but some quit using
them really because porn sites and other spamming websites. was
abusing them. so!! it makes it hard to get search engines to list
you. the main thing is to have good content that people look for.
good ways of promoting your site is to get a bumper sticker made
for your car. make a sign and hang it on your fence. and submitting
it in highly read message boards is a very good way. you can
submit your site free to search engines. but unless you pay $$$ you
wont get that high of rankings on search engines..
ok i am not really a professional about this but i have done research
on meta tags and this is the result of what i looked up.
<!DOCTYPE make sure you have the correct doctype for your page>
<html>
<head>
<title>page label -- short description of page</title>
<meta name="description" content="enter a description of your site">
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords, go, here">
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en">
<meta name="distribution" content="global">
<meta name="classification" content="internet">
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow,all">
<meta name="rating" content="general">
<meta name="revisit" content="14 days">
<meta name="author" content="email@domain.com">
</head>
ok copy and paste this at the top of each of your pages.. the title is the
top bar of the page and also very important to search engines. de-
scription you enter a small description about your page try to have the
content on the page that you enter the description for.. keywords and
keyword phrazes. once again have the content on the page of the key-
words or phrases you use.. keep the keywords to about 20 words.. the
content language is telling the search engines what language you use
for your site if its english put en. distribution this is telling the search
engine how you want your site listed global or local. allways put global
unless you have certain reasons. maybe selling something but you
dont want it found global. classification this is telling the search engine
what directory you want to be listed under. my site is under internet.
there are about 15 differnt ones search for classification and metatags
together.. you should find a list of differnt catagorys. robots this is tell-
ing the robot search engine how to list your pages. you can have it set
to not have it index any of your other pages. index it will index other
pages all is to list all your pages. follow it will follow to links you add to
your site. rating you can put general for normal site. adult for a site with
adult content.. kids for a kids only site. revisit it tells the search engine
to revisit your site in xammount of days to reload your site into its data-
base. author you put your email address here.
also here is a site that after you are done coding your site by hand or a
html generator, you can optimize your code with html tidy a free service
its at validator.w3.org. its what i used to help clean my code up. it does
not do it perfectly. so you may have to do it then fix what it screws up
and run it thru it again. then it will be even less what it screws up then
align it right. and boom it will be valid code.
