<HEAD> and </HEAD> tags of your pages. This page will show you a couple of different META tags that you can use on your pages.
Let's start off with an easy META tag. You want it known who made your page, right? Let's just say your name in Jane Doe. This is the tag you'd put on your page (the parts in red are what you'd change): <META NAME="Author" CONTENT="Jane Doe">
Now that you put that tag in, you want to make your pages ready for the search engines. You'd have to specify a site description, and some keywords. Let's say your page's topic is movie reviews. Here's some sample tags you might use (with the parts you change in red): <META NAME="Description" CONTENT="This is a site to see reviews on all the latest movies.">
Let's say you update your page often. You'll want to insert some tags to tell the search engines to come back in a certain number of days and reindex your site. Here's the tags (no changing needed): <META NAME="revisit" CONTENT="15 days">
On the off chance that you have a "secret" page that you do not want picked up by the search engines, use this tag instead: <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">
This last tag, unlike the others, isn't for classification or informational purposes for search engines. Let's say you have a page, but moved it to another location. You'd want to redirect the user to this new page. Here's the tag: <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="5; URL=http://www.yourserver.com/~yourpage/newpage.html">
The parts in red you must change. The number 5 you saw was how long (in seconds) you want to pass by before the browser redirects the user to the new page. The URL that is in red must be changed to the URL of the page you want the user to be redirected to. |
