Web
site Tips
Using Meta Tags in your web site
What are meta
tags? They are information inserted into the "head" area
of your web pages. 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. The most common use of Meta
tags is to assist search engines in the ranking of your site.
When selecting your keywords for your description, it is best to list
them within a phrase. Try to concentrate on only a few keyword phrases
throughout your text. Try not to repeat your META keywords more than
three times. To cover the many different ways your potential visitor
may type in their search terms, type your META keywords in a few different
styles.
Some tools, to help you create your Meta Tags can be found at:
