What are Meta Tags?


Donna D. Phillips

Meta data are HTML codes that are placed into the headlines on a web page, after the headline tag. In the perspective of seo, when people make reference to meta labels, they are usually making reference to the meta information tag and the meta search phrases tag.

Meta tags are extremely important aspect of your website (especially the meta description) here's what they are:

HTML lets authors specify meta data -- information about a document rather than document content -- in a variety of ways.

For example, to specify the author of a document, one may use the META element as follows:

<META name="Author" content="Dave Raggett">

The META element specifies a property (here "Author") and assigns a value to it (here "Dave Raggett").

This specification does not define a set of legal meta data properties. The meaning of a property and the set of legal values for that property should be defined in a reference lexicon called a profile. For example, a profile designed to help search engines index documents might define properties such as "author", "copyright", "keywords", etc.
Specifying meta data

In general, specifying meta data involves two steps:

    1 Declaring a property and a value for that property. This may be done in two ways:
        From within a document, via the META element.
        From outside a document, by linking to meta data via the LINK element (see the section on link types).
    2 Referring to a profile where the property and its legal values are defined. To designate a profile, use the profile attribute of the HEAD element.

Meta tags are HTML codes that are inserted into the header on a web page, after the title tag.

You can add meta tags in different ways, depending on the tool you use to create and update your site.

You can also add your meta tags to your pages by hand. Meta tags should be placed within the <head> tags near the beginning of your page code, like this:
<head>
<title>your business name and page title<title>
<meta name="description" content="a description of your site">
<meta name="keywords" content="relevant keywords about your site">
</head>

Meta tags are equally important for user as well as Google. Search engines give preferences and value to title and description, but not keywords. Keep following guidelines while creating them. Be specific and do not spam.
