Meta Tags to Increase Your Ranking

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

In the past a lot of people abused the meta tags adding 1000’s of keywords or doing the wrong things.

One of the factors to consider when you are building your website or if you have one something that you shouldn’t miss are the Meta Tags.

When the spiders visit your site they look at the meta tags and the content on your website but that doesn’t mean that if your site doesn’t have Meta Tags you wont be considered by the Search Engines, of course you will but adding Meta Tags will give you an extra point to help you to increase your ranking.

Let’s do a search for “transformers movie”, we get http://www.transformersthemovie.com/ as one of the results on the first page, let’s take a look at their metatags:

<meta name=”keywords” content=”Transformers, Transformers The Movie, Michael Bay, Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks, Don Murphy”>

<meta name=”description” content=”Transformers The Movie - this Transformers website has been created as a resource for the upcoming Michel Bay movie Transformers from Dreamworks and Paramount Pictures, due July 4th 2007. “>

That’s enought to satisfy the Search Engines, he is including his main keywords in the “meta keywords tag” and is adding a real description about his website.

Folow that example when you are building your site, it will help you to increase your ranking on the search engines.

This is a link to a meta tag builder site very helpful if you are starting… let me add somethinng else about the follow and nofollow tag, that tag tells to the search engine spiders (web robots) to follow or not follow the links on your site as simple as that.
