The TITLE Tag should contain your MOST important searchable keywords and be 60 characters or less in length.Tip: Keywords found in the TITLE Tag have the highest ranking value with most all search engines. The 60 character limit is because not all search engines are created equal. Some search engines will only display a maximum of 60 characters of text for a TITLE in their search results. Having your page TITLE cut off by some search engines is not what we consider "search engine friendly".The META Keywords Tag should contain ONLY keywords which are also found in the viewable text on the page and be 874 characters or less in length (less is better).Tip: The META Keywords Tag is not as important as it once was and many search engines no longer index words found here. The META Keywords Tag c
One of the questions I get on a pretty regular basis is whether or not Met Tags are still important. To that I reply an undeniable, "Yes." For those who are not familiar with meta tags, lets start with a brief definition. Meta Tags are HTML elements used to provide information about a web page to search engines. Such elements must be placed as tags in the Head section of an HTML document.Okay, so what's the bottom line? Meta Tags are important and should be at the very top of your web page code. Placement is important because you want search engines - like Google, to read your meta tags first. Today's search engine algorithms use the meta tags as validation tools. After reading your meta tags they're asking, "Is the content on your page related to the page description (metatags)?" "A

Tajuk atau TITLE merupakan perkara utama yang akan dicari oleh search engine. Tajuk biasanya akan menentukan isi kandungan laman web tersebut.

A moment ago, I’ve read somewhere in forum says that meta tags are not important as now. These things bother me a lot. My friend and I are having a debate about the value of the meta description tag. He says that search engines don't index them anymore and so you don't need to use one. I think that he's wrong and that search engines will use them in the search results pages to describe your site, but if you don't include one, you might find a snippet of text from your page being used instead.But Kalena's answer that it depends on each search engine. For example, Google and Yahoo will sometimes use part of your META Description tag, but they will usually use a snippet of text on your web page that includes the exact search query entered. But if your site is listed in the Yahoo Directory, Yahoo will often use your editor-created description from there. If your site is listed in the ODP, Google may use your ODP description.As Ammon Johns says in this post at forums, the most

Meta tags are used to add information to the HTTP header of a webpage. It also contains hidden information in the coding that the search engines will pick up on. Example: author's name, title of web site and "keywords" Meta tags can help improve your placement in search engines and can therefore help increase traffic to your Web site. Most likely, if your site does not have "keywords" in the head of your html code, the engines will not find your website.Choosing your keywords carefully: Choosing the keywords used in your meta tags are very important. If you do not choose the proper keywords, submitting your site to the search engines will be useless, because those keywords are major factors in determining how a site visitor will locate your site in the engines. Lets take a look from the se
Character Set This tells the browser what character set to use to display the characters, or letters, on your web page meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" Language This indicates to the search engines what language this content is associated to. This helps search engines display language-specific versions of your page to the right users META HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-LANGUAGE" CONTENT="en-US" Author The Author Tag should contain the name of the company that owns the site. This tag will help you get a very high position for your company's name.

Allows or disallows indexing into search engines by robots or crawlers on a page-by-page basis This is very different from the robots.txt file. The Robots Meta tags will not be seen if the robots.txt file blocks indexing, since the crawler will never get that far. You can find out more about this meta tag at : -204850.php -140603.php Here is a list of all the attributes for the robots tag: NOINDEX - prevents the page from being included in the index. NOFOLLOW - prevents crawlers from following any links on the page. (Note that this is different from the link-level NOFOLLOW attribute, which prevents crawlers from following an individual link.) NOARCHIVE - prevents a cached copy of this page from being available in the search results. NOSNIPPET - prevents a description from appearing
Words or categories that identify what the page is about As time has progressed, the misuse of keywords has encouraged search engines to rely less and less upon them. There is still debate about how much of an impact keywords have on SEO. Some SEO experts have recommended putting your important keywords first. This can’t hurt. Google, and many other search engines, stores location information for all hits and so it makes extensive use of proximity in search. Include common plural forms of your keywords Include common misspellings of your keywords A good rule of thumb for the keyword tag is 1000 characters or less Repeating your keywords too many times can do more damage than good. Once or twice is fine, with different spellings or with misspellings. <meta name="keywords" content=
The Description Meta Tag should be a brief summary of the contents of the page Keep this concise, as if it gets too long it could be truncated. A good rule of thumb for the description tag is 200 characters or less Here is a good example: <META name="description" content="Search Engine Optimization Best Practices">
Meta tags are page elements that help a search engine to categorize your page properly. They are inserted into the HEAD tag of the page, but a user cannot directly see them (other than by viewing the HTML source of the page). Meta tags should be applied to each page, should be unique to the page, and should match the page’s contents Any keyword 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 tags are not the be all and end all of SEO, and are not a magic bullet. However, they are one tool in an entire toolbox that you can use together to optimize your pages Overuse or misuse of Meta tags can do more damage than good. Keep meta tags simple, relevant, and concise
There is an ugly myth circulating on the internet that meta tags are no longer useful. This is simply not true. Meta Tags are still a relevant component of effective on-page search engine optimization to improve search engine rankings.
If used correctly they can help to improve search engine placement. However, if used incorrectly they can and will have a negative effect on your SEO and search engine rankings. The following Meta Optimization Tips can serve as a guideline in Meta Tag Optimization.
1) Always use the Description meta tag.
2) The Description meta tag should not exceed 24 words
3) It should appear immediately after the title tag
4) It should contain keywords and phrases that you want search engine rankings for.
5) No Keyword or phrase should appear in the description meta tag more than twice.
6) Each Description tag needs to be unique for the content of that specific page.
7) It should accurately describe the content of the site and the respective page.
Mucho se dice ultimamente sobre que los buscadores dan menos importancia a los metatags pero la realidad es que los metatags tienen una su importancia.Hay ejemplos realmente paradigmáticos; este post hablaba de una web en particular pero por pedido de su CEO no la citaré.El SEO del website al que refiero se ha tomado el trabajo de repetir infinidad de veces palabras y combinaciones de palabras en todos los METAs (title, description, keywords, y hasta en author)Pero claro,... si yo me copiase sus METAs (porque soy su competidor) de mucho no me serviría porque la relevancia que obtendría en cada caso sería pobre. pero.. por qué ?Simplemente porque esas palabras y combinaciones de palabras deberían aparecer en mi website con una frecuencia preponderante.Entonces como hizo este SEO ? nuevamente repetir es la clave: repitió decenas de veces las palabras que quizo optimizar (tecnologia, noticias, noticia) esta vez por toda la página.Y si,.... funciona!Si me preguntan por qué no ha
If you are a newbies to HTML or making websites for Adsense, it is normal that you may not know what a meta tag is. Even if you are an intermediate Web pager you may not understand fully what they are, what they mean, and what they can do for you. Therefore, I would like to write a short post in response to that.In short, Meta Tags help search engines to index your site in a better way and hence visitors are more likely to find you and increase the traffic of your site. If you don't have meta tags in your Web pages then a lot of search engines will not even see your Web site and no one will come. They are one of the most essential parts of your webpage, if you want more people to come to it. Therefore, it is a very field in doing SEO to improve the ranking of your site.Here is an example of what a normal meta tags should look like. Bear in mind that it should be inside the HEAD section.Of course you may want to use more keywords than just 3 but you get the idea.There are many things y
Everton, from Connected Internet, posed an interesting question today concerning robots.txt and WordPress. It got me thinking about what exactly I do and don't want indexed by Google. It also got me reviewing my Google Webmaster Tools account to see how Google was doing while indexing my site.
What followed was an afternoon of reviewing the way robots.txt works as well as how the meta tag for robots works. I had originally planned on just implementing the changes and leaving a comment on Connected Internet but ultimately it was more deserving of a full post. (more...)

Let's recap what needs to be done before you attempt to create meta keyword tags: * Choose the relevant keywords. * Write the site's content based on these keywords. * Create a title tag using the same keywords. * Create a meta description tag as a marketing sentence, also based on these keywords. Once you do the above things properly, putting together your meta keyword tag is a very simple procedure.I usually begin putting the keywords I used in the title of my page in the meta keyword tag. The first words in any tag are assumed to be given more weight, so these are most important. Then I go through each paragraph of text on the page and take any important phrases that might be used in the copy and paste them into the meta keyword tag. I usually separate the phrases with a comma and no space. This is simply a personal preference. Using no commas at all in this tag is basically the same thing, since most engines appear to treat commas as a space. After I get every importa
