JDHL on Meta Tags
Updated March 30, 2007
Below you
will find JDHL Technologies views on Meta Tags.
Meta tags are
a bit confusing and often used incorrectly on many websites.
A meta tag is a snippet of code located between the <HEAD> </HEAD>
tags in an HTML document.
Meta tags are not used as much to today by search engines because of the over
use by spammers trying to fool the search engines into generating unrelated traffic
to their sites.
After researching
meta tags we recommend the following meta tags for most situations. As always
there may be exceptions.
Recommended to use:
<title>test</title> Not a meta tag but critical
<meta name="description" content="test">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
Optional Group:
<meta name="author" content="test">
<meta name="designer" content="test">
<meta name="keywords" content="test">
<meta name="robots" content="noodp">
<meta name="robots" content="noydir">
Meta tags specific for Google and Yahoo can be used but thoroughly understand
their purpose before applying.
