Meta Tag
Since I started learning HTML about a year ago, one thing that I didn’t really understand was Meta Tags. I couldn’t figure it out why to put something in my code that the browser wouldn’t read.
Of course I was wrong. Meta Tags are VERY useful, especially if you have a business that relies on the web to sell a product or service. Meta tags are information that you write in the HEAD section of the HTML code that will be used by search engines to find your web site according to mainly two things: the DESCRIPTIONS and KEYWORDS.
According to the website http://www.legalinternetmarketing.com, “the search engines use the Meta Tags to collect, sort, and classify information which helps the search engines determine the relevance of the site and assists users in finding the site when they perform a search for a keyword or keyword phrase which is in the Meta tags.”
Here is an example of how to use of Meta Tags:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Meta Tag Example</TITLE>
<META name = “description” content = “Add a description of the website.”>
<META name = “keywords” content = “Meta, Meta Tag, Example, Keyword.”>
</HEAD>
