Bring traffic to your website-Meta tags made simple


In order to increase traffic to your web site, you need to publicize it and SEO plans exactly do that. For SEO, meta tags are pretty important. This post is to help you with the meta tags. To get a good rank for a particular word in the search engines, your meta tags need to have those words. Now the big questions arises-what is a meta tag?

Open any website and click on the edit button on the toolbar. From the drop down list, select-Page Source (you may also use Ctrl+U keys of your computer).

Once the source opens, just after the <TITLE> element, you will get the meta tags. It usually appears like <META name="something" content="something else">. However, like other HTML tags, you need to close it as </META>. Just remember that when you want to make something bold, you put <B> the word to be made bold </B>, the same rule applies for the meat tags too.

There are three major meta tags on which you need to work at the initial stages. They are:

· <META name="resource-type" content="document">
· <META name="description" content="a synopsis of your web page">
· <META name="keywords" content=" list the relevant keywords">

Some also regard the title as part of the meta tags. Remember to put the keywords in the title tag. If you have multiple choices, use a hash(-) in between the words. Suppose you are a web design company based in US. Then, you will like to use the words like Web Design – USA Website Design etc. in your title tag.

You need to use the resource tag indexing purposes. In the meta tag for description, just use one or two line which offer an overview of the contents of that page. Remember, don’t just stuff the keywords. Rather, use them judiciously. Often, search engines pick up these one or two lines to show along with your web site in their results. So, construct the sentences accordingly.

For getting the keywords, use the google keyword tool. If you are a web design company, you should type web design, website design, web design firm etc. as the words and hit the button marked “Get keyword ideas”. Do some permutations and combinations to pick the words that suit your site and business objective the best and list them under the meta tag titled “keywords”.

Hope that this little information was useful to you. If you still have some queries, feel free to post comments and I will try to answer them to the best of my capability.

Google uses meta description tag to show the site description. Sometimes, it prefers DMOZ listing too.

I agree! I still believe in meta tag power. I may not be that powerful but I am sure it still has some weight.
