HI
More tips on SEO . Hope some of you read my last blog regarding Title Tags and found it of some interest. This Blog will cover Meta Tags
The Meta tags are used to provide extra information about a web page. There was once a time where a good search engine ranking could be achieved by simply changing the value of the META tags. However these days are long gone. Nowadays the META tags are decreasing in importance in the eyes of the search engines who are using more sophisticated methods of ranking pages (namely link popularity).
There are many different types of META tags but the one that can affect ranking are the keywords META tag and the Description Meta tag.
This tag contains keywords relevant to a page. In the past search engines referenced this to determine how to ran a particular page. However many people started to abuse this and stuffed the tag with keywords that were not relevant to the content of the page. This confused search engines and subsequently returned weaker search results. To combat this less and less emphasis has been placed on the Keywords META tag, however this does not mean that it is entirely useless. Here is a reason to still include it.
In the past this tag was used to specify the text that would appear in search engine results alongside the link to your site. Keywords could be placed into this text to influence ranking. However it was abused similar to the Keywords META tag and has befallen the same fate, meaning it is not as useful as it once was. Some search engines do not display it in there results ( notably Google which retraces the text from content on your page) and do not use it to rank a site, Having said that some search engines do still use it so again it is a mistake to ignore it completely. Descriptions placed into this tag should strangely enough be very descriptive of the page or site they reside in. Include a few relevant keywords/key phrases that you are optimising for in the description and try to keep its length to 25 - 30 words. Also try to use no more than two sentences.
1. Although most search engines do not use the tag there are undoubtedly still some that do. For this reason place around 15 to 20 keywords relevant to your site or page into the tag. Do not attempt to cheat the search engines by repeating keywords as this is considered spamming and they may look unfavourably on this.
2. Do not fill your page with lists of keywords or attempt to Cloak pages or put up crawler only pages. If your site contains pages links or text that you so not intend visitors to see, Google considers those links and pages deceptive and may ignore your site.
3. Do not feel obligated to purchase a search engine optimisation service. Some companies claim to guarantee high ranking for your site in Googles search results. While legitimate consulting firms can improve your site’s flow and content, others employ deceptive tactics in a n attempt to fool search engines,. Be careful if your domain is affiliated with one of these deceptive services, it could be banned from Googles index.
