Meta Tagging for Search Engine Optimization
Google inc, has recently disabled the meta tag keywords for a reason, if you read on a blog article about it. But meta tag keywords is still useful on other search engines. The best thing is, it’s not only usable on search engines! It works on some social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter you name it you got it! Meta tagging has a lot of useful features. But in this article, I am only going to show you 2 parts to meta tags.
That is…
- Meta Tag Keywords.
- Meta Tag Description.
Meta Tag Keywords
Firstly, let me explain what they are. Lets pretend for a moment the folder in the image to the left is your blog/website whatever it is. And if lets say that this site is somehow or somewhat popular till the search engines heard about this folder(your site). But the search engines don’t know what this folder is all about! So you as the folder owner, implement meta tags keywords so that the search engines knows what this folder is all about and what is it for especially!
Secondly, how can you start to implement the meta tag keyword? It’s super easy to do! You as the website owner holds the index.html/index.php file in your webserver right? So you will need to edit the file with a suitable file editor of your own, maybe you can use the default editor on windows xp the notepad.
Locate the first tag that looks like <head> and locate the second tag that looks like this </head>. In between this tags, is where your meta tags are going to be seen by search engines, social networking sites, social bookmarking site etc. So how does a meta tag “keyword” like? This is an example of how you should use your meta tag keyword.
<meta name="keywords" content=" ALL YOUR SUITABLE KEYWORDS IN HERE COMMA SEPARATED " />
Let me brake it down for you. The line of code above simply being place in between the <head></head> tags are now visible to search engines and so on. so what does the name=”" for?
It is a specific name for the line of code. That is why the word “keywords” is inside and the content=”" is basically where your keywords are all inserted and separated with commas like the order below.
content="keyword1, keyword2, keyword3"
and so on.
Meta Tag Description
Meta Tagging Description is some sort of a little bio on the website outside the folder. Meaning to say, users doesn’t need to visit or enter your website to find what your website is really all about. From outside the file, the users know what your site is all about and whether the information you are giving is what they are looking for. Look at the image below.
Do you know where does Google gets that line of description from?
It’s from the magic power of Meta Description. 
So how and where do you need to implement the meta tag description?
Where do you place it is where you place the meta tag keywords are. So how do you make a meta tag description? It looks a little something like this,
<meta name="description" content=" YOUR SWEET AND FANCY WORDS ABOUT YOUR WEBSITE GOES IN HERE. " />
Your description can look as fancy as you want it to! But remember, it will take some time for the Google Spiders to crawl onto your website and actually display the description on the Google index.
