META TAGS

Recommended Posts

The meta tags hold information for the search engine bots. The bots read the information and store it. When someone types in a keyword listed in one of your meta tags your website will be in the reuslts.You ca also use something called robots.txt to send information to search engine bots.For more information i suggest you read this tutorial by W3: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp

most search engine bots dont go for the meta keywords tag anymore, as it was abused by people, who put in words that had no relevance to their site in order to boost their rankings and site visibility in search results.although the title and description meta tags still do help. but its mainly based on other things, such as content and linkings to help boost your search rankings for what your customers/viewers are looking for.

So robot.txt would be better. Although it more tells what the robot to do you can still make it review relavent information.Google has a submission form for web developers to submit their site url for the bot to review... http://www.google.com.au/addurl/?continue=/addurl

Hi, bumping up this old topic as I found it on a search and it seemed the most relevant.I want to create a robot.txt file for search engines - mainly, on one site, to tell bots to ignore certain pages.But, I haven't a clue how to write a robot.txt file.Is there a tutorial on W3S for this?Thanks,Mark.
