Meta Tags and Keywords

Before we start, let's make it clear:
· Meta tags are not a magic solution.
· Meta tags are not a magic solution.
· Meta tags are not a magic solution.
Meta tags provide a useful way to control your summary in some
search engines.
Meta tags can also help you provide keywords and descriptions
on pages that for various reasons lack text. Examples are
splash pages and frames pages. They might also boost your
page's relevancy. However, simply including a Meta tag is not
a guarantee that your page should suddenly leap to the top of
every search engine listing.
They are a useful tool but, as said above, not a magic
solution.
Below I will try to explain them with out boring you to death.
Meta Tags
The META element is used within the HEAD element to embed
document meta-information not defined by other HTML elements.
The META element can be used to identify properties of a
document (e.g., author, expiration date, a list of key words,
etc.) and assign values to those properties.
HTML lets you specify metadata -- information about a document
rather than document content -- in a variety of ways. The META
element can be used to include name/value pairs describing
properties of the document, such as author, expiry date, a
list of key words etc. The does not define a standard set of
properties.
It is especially important when your index page has little or
no user-oriented text, e.g.
· When your page is entirely graphical and so there's no text
for the search engines to index (except that some may index
the text inside the ALT attributes in the IMG tag).
name This attribute identifies a property name. The
specification does not list legal values for this attribute.
content This attribute specifies a property's value. The
specification does not list legal values for this attribute.
http-equiv This attribute may be used in place of the name
attribute. HTTP servers use this attribute to gather
information for HTTP response message headers.
Each META element specifies a property/value pair. The name
attribute identifies the property and the content
Attribute specifies the property's value.
For example, the following declaration sets a value for the
Author property:
<META name ="Author" content="Jeff Bourque">
NAME attributes
· The NAME attribute specifies the property name while
· The CONTENT attribute specifies the property value.
Some typical names are - Author, Classification, Copyright,
Description, Formatter, Generator, Keywords, Rating, Robots.
For example
<META name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.61 [en] (Win98; I)
[Netscape]">
Is a tag that many HTML editors automatically insert into a
user's HTML code. It can be used to identify the software used
to generate the page.
Meta Tagging for Search Engines
It is possible for you to control how your page is indexed by
using the META tag to specify additional keywords to index,
and a short abstract. It will be very helpful to list the
keywords in a META tag - for example, your site might be
reasonably specified by several dozens of keywords - but you
probably would not want them all on your home page. Here is an
example:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Live Nude Chat - Video Feeds - Amateur Models </TITLE>
<META name="description" content="Live Nude Chat! Offers Over
30,000 images of Amateur Models, Live video feed and ezine
magazines">
<META name="keywords" content="Amateur Models, Amateur
breasts, Amateur boobs, Amateur hooters, Amateur movies,
Amateur model, Amateur strippers">
<META http-equiv="keywords" content=" Nude Models, sex, live
nude chat, video Playboy, Penthouse, older women, younger
women, young women, adult movies, adult toys, dildos, video on
demand, pornstars, XXX pornstars, mpeg, amateur video's, video
clips, hot babes, babes, chicks, fetish.">
