Answer 2

Hi,



To develop effective Meta tags you firstly need to think about what you wish your site to rank for. Do some keyword research, utilising tools such as the Google keyword tool.



Once you have defined your keyword list, develop your content to incorporate a keyword density of around 2% (2 keywords for every 100 words of content).



Now it's time to think Meta!



The most important of these tags is the description tag. This tag lets the search engine know what the page is all about. So you should aim to use your most important, or high search volume terms at the beginning of this tag, and make sure these keywords are the ones you have used in your now keyword dense content. A good structure has been mentioned which I agree with:



Keyword 1, Keyword 2 | Company/Brand Name





Limit this tag to 64 characters, although I do believe that Google will now pick up to 75 Characters - anything longer won’t be read by the search engine after the character limit. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE EACH AND EVERY PAGE ON THE SITE REQUIRED A UNIQUE, INDIVIDUAL TITLE TAG.



The next most important tag is indeed the description tag. This helps to let the search engine and the visitor know what the page they are looking at is about. It should be descriptive (matching the on page content), informative and use keywords from your research.



The keywords tag: Do not spend long with this, add a few keywords in but don't spend too long on it. As its worth as a ranking factor is little or none.



H1, H2 tags. These are basically the larger bolded text or headings (as in heading 1, heading 2). The h1 should contain your main keywords. H2 should be used to separate content and introduce a new section or paragraph, again using keywords but with more of an explanation about what is next on the page.



You should also consider looking into the geo tag, as Google is sure to place more relevance on this now and in the future as it continues on its path to deliver relevant search results to users.



Hope this helps.

Ok SEO is not just about META Tags in fact META Tags have little effect on SERP results in most cases. I have written many articles on this in the past, of truth be told it’s a landscape that changes. I presume but this way you posed the question you prefer to get good SERP's (search engine result-page) while this little box will not let me cover everything you should know, I wrote an article just a couple weeks ago that is up to date and works. Just look at my source article it’s not short, but the ideas presented there are sound. But to answer the above question the best meta tags are based on the content of the page, select keywords, do not spam them and never use them more than 3% of the time (that 3 occurrences in 100 words) You will read other number as high as 7% but 3% is a safe number to avoid the Google ban. (For more on Google bans look at my second resource source article. And good luck. If you send me your page I may be able to provide some tips as wellsound

Answer 4

The only meta tags that has a direct impact upon your search engine ranking is the Title tag.

Always start the title tag with your target key phrase.



The description tag is also important even though it doesn't directly influence the position.



The description is sometimes used as the snippet of text below your link in the search results. Keep search behavior in mind when writing your title / description.



Search results that look like this are often overlooked to more human friendly variations.

Yes, meta tags are still useful for SEO and many are extremely beneficial to have. Description meta tag - Shows up in search engine results under the title. Robots - Robots.txt file tells the search engines whether or not to follow links and index pages. Geo-tagging - Good for targeting local areas.

Answer 6

Your meta's should be related to your website so people can find you on the Web. For example, if you're selling soap, then it's only smart to use "soap" in your meta tags. But of course, we also have those long tail searches where people typed in a set of keywords to find you and these are serious searchers/ customers. So, if you're selling vanilla scented soap, then go ahead and use all that. It's all about being specific. You may try using the cheat sheet on my source link below:

Answer 7

Meta tags do not carry much weight anymore in SEO. You would be better off writing a proper description, and seeing the your keywords are displayed in your title tags, and H1 tags. Don't leave the meta tags out, just don't get too wrapped up in them.

Answer 8

OK, I agree with the guys above, here a few added thoughts.



Page name, keywords and description are my main areas of concern. You page name should contain content relevant to your site and how you want it to be picked up by search engines. For example if I had a web hosting site I could put,



Company name | UK Web Hosting | Fastest servers



keep in mind that its about density not overall amount. Repeating anything will just end up with you getting restrictions placed on you by google. Find the prime keyword that are you want people to find you with and use them with intelligence.



The same goes for your keywords and description, tailor your description to include the prime keywords, these are the words that you need to sprinkle everywhere, like your

header tags and you site body. Also some search engines penalize you if you don't use the words specified in your keywords in your actual site body. Overall remember that meta data isn't as important as it used to be, it's all about the links! and the quality of those links. Back linking to quality sites with high page ranks is the best thing your do for SEO.



Hope this helps.
