Anne the tags are terrible

It is good practise to incorporate your main keyword into the title tag.

The description tag should be around 2 sentences long and explain the content of that page. This should also incorporate your main keyword(s).

The keyword tag is a waste of ink.

I like to think of tags like a short index for a book.

The big mistakes are

People copying tags
Only having one set of tags copied throughout the whole site
Not incorporating keywords into the tags
Wasting time on keyword tags when they are pointless
Using more than 65 words including spaces on the title tag
Keyword stuffing the description tag.

You can see my tags? I only set them today and Google ain't been in there - which tags did you see - i know that the tags are set from my old home page and from my categories - this is a zen thing apparently and not a lot i can do to change them - my product tags are quite different but much improved since my web man fixed a few things for me.

Bluumin eck - where do you find all this stuff?

apparently my robots txt file has now been updated and my site doodaad to Google.

Oh i am burning dinner -

Thank you!!!!

it will be good if you use different mega tag description for different pages.

[businessservicesuk]

This is true, unique description tags are good as search engines use them as copy for your listings. However it is title tags that need to be fully researched as these have SEO benefit.

[Sadierhianne]

I am now having the meta tags and description tags changed on the home page - if you have read my other post, the issue with Google is now resolved, it was nothing to do with my site but in the process, my site will be now much improved as a result.

Oh to see Google on my site was a beautiful moment.

Thank you for all of your help and fabby advice!!!!

Hi......
Meta tags is the Meta-information (information about information) that is associated with a web page and placed in the HTML but not displayed on the page for the user to see. There are a range of meta tags, only a few of which are relevant to search engine spiders. Two of the most well-known meta tags are the meta description and meta keywords; unfortunately these are ignored by most major search engines, including Google.

thnx

It is ok to add the Meta tags. No problem.

[rups]

A meta description tag is a brief summery of your whole website.
A Meta Keyword tag is list of all your important keywords.

The limit to meta desc tag is 170 char.

While adding meta keywords, add only those keywords which are going to appear in your body text of page.

Thanks

My extensive research, and after being lambasted in another forum for refuting the absolute value of Meta tags, I have come to the conclusion that they have about <2% of importance to a sites ability to rank in the SE's.

I see. Can you give me the link that metas have <2% of importance to a sites ability to rank in the SE's? Or it is just your conclusion.. As you have said that due to your extensive research...

I have more outside of the V7N forum if you need them, but out of deference I decided to leave them off. By the way I'm looking for a diamond studded pinky ring, know where I can find one?

Nice threads but I'm talking about the direct link where meta tags <2% in terms of ranking as what you've said earlier on the previous post...By the way can you add more traffic to my site? Can you promote it? Lol.

[marthrock]

Yes I can, but I'm not going to place a high value on your Meta tags.
