What
is Meta Tag?
What is Keyword?
What is Description?
If you're new to web development and search engine optimization,
you may find this tool useful to ensure your Meta Tags
are correctly formed. The tool has two fields -- Keywords
and Description:
Keywords: Enter a short list of keywords and terms related
to your site. The terms can be separated by a comma, but
a delimiter is not required.
Description: Enter a brief description about your site
and what it offers. This is sometimes used by search
engines as a website’s 'snippet' for search results.
At one point Meta tags where a considered a relatively
important factor by search engines. AltaVista and other
older search engines used them to help determine a site's
theme and relevance to a given term. This is no longer
the case. Search engines now rely on more advanced techniques
to do this. Meta tags still have some life left in them;
they are sometimes used as the snippet of a site's content
in search engines result pages by Google and possibly
by other search engines. It's also possible they still
have some influence with some search engines in determining
a site’s content. |
