Optimizing Meta Tags

Optimizing Meta Tags

Meta tags are added to a webpage to increase its visibility in the search
engine. The Meta tags consist of three important components which are title,
description and keyword. The title is the most commonly used Meta tag. It is
displayed on top of the browser window. It acts as the title of the
document. The Meta description is not shown on the browser but it is shown
in the search result. The Meta description is often used in a webpage that
does not contain text content. For example, in an art gallery site, the
whole page displays only the picture. Since no text is placed on the site,
you have to use the Meta description to optimize it with keywords. The Meta
tags are usually added under the head tags. The Meta tags for each page
should be unique. In this way, you can avoid duplication problem.

You should use a different Meta tags for each page in the website. The best
keyword research tool for researching keyword is the Google AdWords keyword
tool. The new Google AdWords keyword tool offers many improved functions.
The keyword tool allows you to analyze a keyword based on the competition,
number of searches, CPC and etc. The Meta keywords is the least important of
all the Meta tags. Some people like to take advantage of the Meta keywords
by spamming it with a huge list of keywords.

The Meta keywords should not exceed more than 255 characters. If the Meta
keywords exceed 255 characters, it will be considered spam by the search
engine. Your site may be blacklisted by the search engine as a spam site
because of including too many keywords. You can use multiple word as one
keyword. In order for the search engine to recognize a phrase as a single
keyword, you have to use the comma. The most important keyword should be
positioned in front followed by the less important keywords.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...

They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. You may soon see QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone's t-shirt. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet. The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can sca...
