subject: Creations Of Meta Tags [print this page] Requires a tag in html meta tags when you are creating your web page, many pages do not use tags at all, and I must confess that I have not used my home page, though I put the display Through this page.

You should insert the meta tag element at the top of your document, just after the element. It follows the usual form of tags, ie
but note that you don't have to have a at the end of the tag, the way that you do with something like bold . However, make sure that each tag does not include any line breaks, since some search engines get a little bit tetchy about this.
How to write Meta tag?
There are basically four major Meta tags that you can use:
The only resource type that is currently in use is "document" This is the only tag that you need to put in for indexing purposes, but use of the others is a good idea.
Choose whatever keywords you think are appropriate, seperated by commas. Remember to include synoyms, americanisms and so on. So, if you had a page on cars, you might want to include keywords such as car, cars, vehicles, automobiles and so on.
Depending on the search engine, this will be displayed along with the title of your page in an index. "content" could be a word, sentence or even paragraph to describe your page. Keep this reasonably short, concise and to the point. However, don't be so mean with your description that its not an appropriate reflection of the contents!
