What are meta tags? They are information inserted into the "head" area of your web pages. Other than the title tag (explained below), information in the head area of your web pages is not seen by those viewing your pages in browsers. Instead, meta information in this area is used to communicate information that a human visitor may not be concerned with. Meta tags, for example, can tell a browser what "character set" to use or whether a web page has self-rated itself in terms of adult content.
Are Meta Tags look likes?
Meta tags are among <head> </ head> element blog or web buddy, and format as follows:
1. <meta name="name" content="content">
2. <meta http-equiv="name" content="content">
So which to use? It all depends on meta tags you use. why a little easier, basically http-EQUIS designed for meta tags that mimic the equivalent of HTTP headers (example: "refresh" and "Pragma"), while the name for all the rest (eg "author" and "description").
An example of HTML Meta Tags
This is an example piece of HTML meta tags, and my friend can use and show how my friend can use a meta tag descriptions and keywords to increase blog rank with search engines:
<head>
<title>Marcia's Dog Training Page</title>
<meta name="description" content="This Web page
contains information on dog training, including modern
training techniques, training news, info on training
centres and links to other dog-training sites.">
<meta name="keywords" content="Dog,
training, puppy, techniques, centres, links, leash,
teaching, commands, sit, stay, fetch, beg">
</head>
Note that we use the two meta tags here. Description tag is often used by search engines like Google to display a brief summary of the page your blog / web. Keywords used to help index the page of your blog so when people type "fetch" of their favorite searchengine, the page will be your pages that they are looking for.
Common Meta Tag
You got the basic things. Well here are several other meta tags that can be very usefull use to improve your blog / web. Do not forget that all the meta tags should be entered into the head element of the page.
Example # 1 -> Author
<meta name="author" content="author's name">
This allows you to tell search engines and browsers that you are writing your blog / site.
Example # 2 -> Refresh
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=newpage.html">
Meta tags are good if you move the blog / website into a different server or directory, or to change the name for several reasons. You can use these tags to direct the new view the first browser. NEW-URL is the URL of the page to jump to the same page, in this case the same page will continue to refresh. If you set the delay to zero, then the browser will only view the first direct jump.
Example # 3 -> Robots
<meta http-equiv="robots" content="[noindex|nofollow]">
This is another one for search engines (known as robots). You can use this meta tag to tell search engines whether they add your pages to index or not? and whether they should follow links from your pages to find the page - other pages for the index.
Usually search engines will index your pages if they find it, and follow all the links from that page to find something - anything else.
Example # 4 -> Caching
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="nocache">
This meta tag tells the browser to not save copies of your pages in the cache on your hard drive. A cache is usually used to store the last pages you have visited, so the browser does not have to go to the server to download the regular pages visited all the time. However, if you frequently update your page and want users to see the latest version at any time, and then use this meta tag.
Example # 5 ->
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Sun, 4 Oct 1998 15:00:00 GMT">
This tag is similar to Pragma meta tags above, except that with this you can tell the browser when considering the page from the date (in other words, when it should take a new copy from the server).
End of the discussion... Try and see the result...
