One of the best ways to increase your website’s traffic is to submit your website to search engines such as Google.com, Msn.com , Yahoo.com …By this way, people can find your website when they search for a specific keyword. So, how to make search engines find a website? To enable search engines to index your site, you must place some meta tags in your site’s source code and then submit your website to search engines. META Tags are HTML tags which provide information that describes the content of the webpages a user will be viewing. Search engines have recognized that website owners and administrators can use this resource to control their positioning and descriptions in search engine results. There are many relative meta tags you should include to your blog’s template. In this article, I only talk about the most five popular meta tags: keywords, description, author, revisit-after, and robots.
Author META Tag
The author META tag defines the name of the author of the document being read. This tag is not widely supported but is recognized as part of the META Tag standard. The most common format is to insert the name of the person or organization and a contact email address.
<META name=”Author” content=”Author Information” />
Keywords META Tag
Search engines that support META tags will often use the keywords found on your pages as a means to categorize your website based on the search engines indexing algorithms (proprietary algorithms which index your website in search engine databases).
<META name=”Keywords” content=”first, second, third” />
Description META Tag
Search engines that support META tags will often display the Description META tag along with your title in their results. Search engines will often capture the entire META tag of your description field, but webmasters should bear in mind that when a search engine displays the results to a user, the space is limited, usually under 20 words which you can use to grab the attention of a user. For this reason, when creating your META tags, webmasters should make the first sentence of their description field to capture the attention of a user and use the rest of the description tag to elaborate further.
<META name=”Description” content=”Your description”/>
Robots META Tag
Robots, also known as spiders, are automated mechanisms that spider your site, or search your site on how to categorize the information you submitted to the search engine. Typically, a website owner would submit the main page and the robots would visit your site and collect all subpages and related links from your main page. Using the robots tag, you can define which pages to follow,
which to index and which to ignore completely.
<META name=”Robots” content=”index,follow”/>
Revisit META Tag
The Revisit META tag defines how often a search engine or spider should come to your website for re-indexing. Often this tag is used for websites that change their content often and on a regular basis. This tag can also be beneficial in boosting your rankings if search engines display results based on the most recent submissions.
<META name=”Revisit-After” content=”X Days”/>
That are five popular meta tags you should add to your website’s template. Remember to add your META Tags between the <head> and </head> tag:
<!– your META Tags here –>
</head>
Finally, to make search engines index your site, you must submit your website to search engines such as Google.com, Msn.com , Yahoo.com…
