Meta Tag SEO

Meta Tags plays a very important role in Search Engine Optimization(SEO). They are used to inform search engines about the keywords, description, author information etc..

We will discuss about the necessary information which is required for the search engine optimization.

Meta Keywords in SEO

We write meta keywords in the page to inform the search engines about the main keywords. Google search is not considering the meta keywords in optimizing the web page. But yahoo in considering the keywords in the meta tag. Use limited keywords separated with commas(,).

Example:

<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2, keyword3,etc../>"

Meta Description in SEO

These are very important in optimizing. We must use meta description in every web page. This is the best part after the title tags. The description should be meaningful along with the inclusion of the keywords. The character limit for the Google is 160. For Yahoo is 165. MSN is 200+. So it would be better not to exceed 160.

Example:

<meta name="description" content="This is the description of this webpage. The description should be included with the targetted keywords for this page."/>

Meta Revisit

Meta revisit is used to define after how many days the crawler should revisit the page. We will guide the crawler to update our web pages for regular intervals. Here we define the time interval for regular updations.

Example:

<meta name="revisit& content=" 7 days" />
