123 Web Design! Adding meta tags If you ever want your web page to be seen at all by anyone, you're gonna have to submit it to search engines. Most search engines have a "Add URL" feature where you can submit your site to to be listed. Before you do that, however, there's something very important you need to do- categorize your page using the <meta> tag. The <meta> tag allows you associate specific keywords with your page, so when surfers type in those keywords in a search engine, they will be lead to your site. Furthermore, this tag also allows you to specify a short description of your page that will be shown on the search engine page when your page is found. The syntax for this tag is as follows: <meta
name="keywords" content="keywords here"> Where "keywords here" is a list of keywords that you wish to be associated with your page, and "description here" the short description describing it. Here's a complete example that categorizes a page on pets: <html> The meta tag is inserted inside the <head> section. Keywords entered into the <meta> tag should each be separated by a comma. Once your site is categorized, submitting it to search engines will yield much better results in terms of people finding your site! |
