Meta Tags, a walk through guide and example!


I’m always thinking of the small things when it comes to Optimizing your website. Meta tags are an often overlooked area when you’re developing your first website. Let’s face it the first thing you want to do is ensure your website looks nice. Design and presentation etc.. When in all reality it should be the last thing on your mind. When you first register you domain name you should already have your Meta Tags prepared and ready to implement. You want Google, Yahoo, and MSN to see these tags when they first visit your website. This way what’s cached was your choice and not a mistake that can possibly take months to fix!

Here at seomkt you can see the Meta tags by simply testing the site at a Meta Tag Analyzer website. Many can be found using Google but I use this one here. It’s fast and right to the point. Remember this is a very basic step to take when trying to develop and create an organic flow of free traffic.

Here are the following Meta Tags I used personally at seomkt.

I was just about to do a post regarding meta tags.

Its amazing how many websites do not have a description or keyword meta tag. I visit a lot of blogs and a lot of big name blogs do not bother using them.

I always use them.

Hmm, A Good tag will always keep you in SERPS and provide you with organic traffic, I have seen many webmasters adding lots and lots of meta description and then getting out of SERPS. You have done the right thing, I am also going to utilise them for my new site.

@ Geo – you’re right some websites don’t even use these tags and it’s funny when I see this! Organic Traffic is the biggest thig in today’s business online marketing and taking these basic steps will ensure your on the right path!

@ BeingRavi – I think you should also do as you say your going to! SERPS need meta tags and without them they will pick up content on your page!

meta description tag is still important , but I don’t think meta keyword that is that important anymore. But it takes few minutes to do and some search engines still consider it so absolutely no harm in doing it.

You’re right meta tags aren’t that important anymore seeing the majority of websites aren’t so niche. But if you have a niche website meta tags allow you to rank extremely strong with aged domain names.

Websites that do not use meta tags are either lazy, cocky or dont know better.

Add Meta description and keywords at least.

Plenty of websites do not pass W3C validation either, doesn’t make it right.
