Sept. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- META tags description in NAME group:

Author

Author tag must contain the author's name. If the site belongs to some specific organization,it will be reasonable to use the "Copyright".

Examples:

< META Name=”Author” content=”James Brown” >
< META Name=”Copyright” content=”http://phpforms.net/tutorial/tutorial.html” >

Description

Description META tag provides a brief html-page description. It is used by search engines for indexing and as a brief annotation in the response to a request alongside with link. And exactly the contents of this tag helps user of search engine to define whether your site corresponds to his query or doesn"t.

If Description tag is missing in the code, search engines use the first line of the text or text fragment with detected key word.

The preferable length of the description is not more than 80 characters.

Example:

< META Name=”Description” content= ”.. .” >

Document-state

Document-state META tag - is designed to control the indexing of search robots. It can take on one of two values:

Static - if there is no need to index this page in the future.

Dynamic - for regular indexing (by default).

Mode "Static" is intended for pages that do not change in principle. If the content of your page changes from time to time, then usage of this tag is optional.

Example:

< META Name=”Document-state” content =”Dynamic” >

Generator

Generator META tag- is just one of the "nice" family of tags that are widely used by HTML code generators for their own purposes. Typically these tags do not carry any the payload for a site owner.
Keywords
Keywords META tag is used by search engines for relevance assessing. The words contained in Keywords tag, are considered by search engines as a recommendation. Creating a keyword list for Keywords META tag you should use the words contained in the text. Words that are not contained in the text can be used in very small quantities, two or three words. They must be embedded in the end of the list. Key words should not be repeated in the Keywords tag, in extreme cases, not more than twice. In the Keywords META tag is reasonable to use no more than 10 words, a larger number will not increase relevancy. In most cases search engines find plural keywords (e.g., cats), even if the search is set for the singular word (e.g., cat). That is why it"s recommended to input English plural nouns in Keywords META tag. Some search engine robots do not move to a new line during the Keywords META tag analysis, therefore, it"s not advisable to break it into several lines.

Example:

< META Name=”Keywords” content=”primer, META, tega” >

If the document is written in several languages, you can use the extra "lang" attribute for encoding selection (see description of Content-Language META tag).

Example:

< META Name=”Keywords” lang=”ru” content=”META tag example” >
< META Name=”Keywords” lang=”en-us” content=”META tag example” >

But more preferable is making separate pages, each for one language, with switching from one to another, using the tag and .

Resource-type

Resource-type META tag - describes the state of the current document. If its the value differs from the "Document", then search engines will not index it. This META tag is designed for use in large projects with many different types of documents.

Some possible values are:

* Build

* Classification

* Creation

* Document - accept the default.

* Formatter

* Host

* Operator

* Random text

* Rating

* Site-languages

* Subject

* Template

* Version

Example:

< META Name=”Resource-type” content =”Document” >

Revisit

Revisit META tag - shows to search engine, in how many days he needs to return to reindex this document.

Example (to come once a week):

< META Name=”Revisit” content=”7” >

Robots

Robots META tag contains guidance for the search engines robots that collect information about HTML documents in the network. Value of Robots feature can consist of the following directives, separated by commas:

* Index - this page should be indexed.

* Noindex - this page should not be indexed.

* Follow - to track the hyperlinks on the page.

* Nofollow - no tracking hyperlinks on the page.

* All - = index, follow (set by default).

* None - = noindex, nofollow.

Tag does not change anything in the search engine robot, as well as the importance of "all" is set by default.

But if the page is created dynamically or is updated very often, there is no point in its indexing, as well as information about a page in the search engine and its real content will be different. In this case you can recommend the search engine not to index this page, and only to monitor hyperlinks to index the rest of the site

Example:

< META name=Robots content=”noindex,follow” >

Using the tag that prohibits the tracking of hyperlinks some part of the site may not be indexed, because inside of the site the robot move along hyperlinks. And pages with blocked transitions will not be indexed.

Robots META tag takes precedence over the directives of management defined in the file robots.txt.

Subject

META tag Subject used by search engines to determine subject matter of the document. But until the search engines do not agree their classification tables, the use of this tag is not always justified.

URL

META tag URL - is intended for excluding the generated pages and mirrors from indexing. Met this tag, the search engine robot must stop indexing of the current document and click on the specified link.

Example:

< META Name=”URL” content= “http: //www.Main-Site.com” >
