META Tag Insertion

Inserting META tags

The best way to insert a META tag is directly into the HTML code.  The META tags should always be inserted within the <HEAD> tag.

Place you cursor between the <HEAD> </HEAD> tag.  The most suitable place will be after the <TITLE>  </TITLE> tags.  

Firstly insert the description tag:

<META NAME="description" CONTENT=" insert your description here - try not to exceed 200 characters ">

Then the keyword tag:

<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT=" insert you keywords / key terms here, separate each one with a comma.  Rank your keywords / key terms in order of importance, with the highest first - try not to exceed ten keywords ">

 

Keywords

Keywords are entered into a search engine to search for information - the keyword META tag gives words to the search engine.  On this page for example we used: "Web Design, Web Services, META tag insertion, Key words, key terms, titles, META Tags, SEO CMS, search engine optimization, content management system"

META tags are a useful tool but some guidelines should be adhered to before you put them on all your pages.

  • Do not repeat words - some search engines treat this as spamming
  • Ensure you have focused your keywords to reflect your pages - try to limit your keywords to ten words/terms.
  • Always place your META tags above the SSI comment

Not all directories and search engines honor META tags, but the vast majority do so they are worth using on your pages.

 

Description

The description tag defines the text that some search engines display after your site has been selected through a keyword search. For example the description for this page is: "Inserting META tags and correctly using keywords and Description using an SEO CMS."

When we design a SEO CMS for your Website, it has all these features built in already.  That way when you build a page the way we show you, your onsite SEO work is done.  No need to know any HTML or how this stuff works.  Its built into the foundation of your website, the content management system.  We make it so the Page titles, META Tag, Keywords, Keyterms and Description are all just fill in the blanks.  On site SEO made easy.
