Description and keywords meta tags

Hello,
Could you tell me if it's possible to create HTML output of an ADF page, that has "description" and "keywords" meta tags in the head? Something like:
<meta name="keywords" content="adf jdeveloper description keywords meta tags">
<meta name="description" content="This is a short description of text on a imaginary page">
I know the SEO results may not be great, but I'd still like to use it, just to make it as good as possible for search engines.
Greetings,
Daan Horn

Daan,
Sorry for the oversight.
[url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/tagdoc/core/document.html]Tag documentation for af:document says that af:document has a facet called "metaContainer" which emits the meta tags. I didn't see any examples or have time to test, but you can certainly try putting the meta tags in that facet.
Update: all of the examples I can find show how to inject javascript into the metacontainer, but it should give you an idea how to do it for <meta> tags. [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/fnimphius/increase_css_and_javascript_performance.html?_template=/ocom/print]Here'surl one such example I found via Google.

Title description and Keywords

What is the optimum length in characters or words for each of the three categories?
Title?
Description?
Keywords?
I heard dont use too many, but what is too many?
Doug

There isn't a set number of characters, but a good rule of thumb is...
Title - a short sentence - remember it is displayed along the top of the browser window, so you'll want it to fit and not be cut off.
Description - a longer sentence - this should be as to the point as possible, remember Google uses the description or part of it in the search results listing.
Keywords - use them if you like but Google doesn't even look at the Keyword meta tag anymore, so don't obsess about this one. Just put in five or ten keywords for some other search engines that may look at this and move on
Hope this helps.

Keyword Meta Tag Text Box

I use Dreamweaver 8 and read there is a "text box" similar to
the one for description on the toolbar for adding keywords.
This was in the help section of Dreamweaver 8 as follows:
Setting Keywords properties
Many search-engine robots (programs that automatically browse
the web gathering information for search engines to index) read the
contents of the Keywords meta tag and use the information to index
your pages in their databases. Because some search engines limit
the number of keywords or characters they index, or ignore all
keywords if you go beyond the limit, it’s a good idea to use
just a few well-chosen keywords.
Enter your keywords, separated by commas, in the text box
labeled Keywords.
Where on the tool bar is this located or how do you get it on
the toolbar? I have searched but must be missing something.
Thanks in advance for any help.

That information is flawed. The major search engines (with
the possible
exception of Yahoo) do not use keywords at all.
Try INSERT | HTML > Head Tags > Meta Keywords.

Descriptions and Keywords

Hi. firstly...how do you enter keywords and descriptions
using dreamweaver (not in the HTML section...but in the graphical
interface...) and secondly, is there a way to automatically assign
keywords to each page...e.g. dreamweaver seaches pages for text and
makes each word a keyword.....thanks

Do a description - forget about keywords. They are ignored by
the major
players when fed only in the keyword meta tag.
> is there
> a way to automatically assign keywords to each

> seaches
> pages for text and makes each word a keyword
Not only is it not there, it's not needed since this is
exactly what the
SE's do when they spider your page.

Room for Description and Keywords input

I am using Bridge CS5 to add bulk and individual photo description and keywords.
Like CS4, room to enter text is too small. If the text reaches the end of the line, the next one remains hidden until I manually click on the left of the text space and drag bottom.
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thank you

Daan,

Script to add description and keywords to files from text file

Can anyone write something up for me? I will admit I cannot do it myself, I do not know Javascript.
I need to add keywords and a description to 1000's of images. I have a text file formatted as such for each 100 images. The script would need to ask for an input file (or I can hardcode the path into the script) and then apply to the current folder of images shown in bridge.
Text file example:
1000 - Bright Sunset Over City. (sun;city;sky;mountain;) .
1001 - Dawn Behind Mountain And Lake. (sun;mountain;water;sky;) .
1002 - Bright Red Sunset, Light Edged Clouds. (sun;sky;tree;clouds;) .
1003 - Tree Framing Sunset Over Bay. (tree;sun;lake;bay;) .
1004 - Sun Behind Gull On Pilings. (seagull;sun;sea;pilings;) .
images are named 1000.tif, 1001.tif, 1002.tif etc
Running on a Mac with CS3 and CS4.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Paul,
This is nice example, but your script incorrectly sets both dc:description and dc:subject as ordered arrays. Description should be an alt-text type property, and subject is an unordered array (or 'bag'). Some software might not tolerate the incorrect XMP data types.
Here's an example showing the wrong and write way to set these two properties using the XMP Script API:
// load the library
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) {
    ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
var Desc = "Test Description";
var Keys = ["One","Two","Three"];
// The wrong way to set the Description. and Keywords...
var bogusXmp = new XMPMeta();
bogusXmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", Desc, 0,XMPConst.ARRAY_IS_ORDERED);
for(var s in Keys){
      bogusXmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "subject", Keys[s], 0,XMPConst.ARRAY_IS_ORDERED);
$.writeln( bogusXmp.dumpObject() );
// The correct way to set the Description and Keywords
var correctXmp = new XMPMeta();
correctXmp.setLocalizedText( XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", null, "x-default", Desc );
for(var s in Keys){
      correctXmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "subject", Keys[s], 0,XMPConst.PROP_IS_ARRAY);
$.writeln( correctXmp.dumpObject() );
Thanks,
David

Zoom Search and dropped meta tag

I'm using the Zoom Search engine with my Web help and I like
it very much. I'm now trying to use Zoom's category feature. I
can't base the categories on the url, so I'm using the zoom meta
tag instead. However, when I go to publish the Web help, RoboHelp
seems to have a bad habit of dropping the Zoom meta tag, thus
rendering my categories useless.
I can always go back into the individual .html files
afterwards and re-add the Zoom meta tags, but this is kind of a
tedious process. So I was curious if anyone out there found a way
to stop RoboHelp from dropping my Zoom meta tags or at least found
a simpler, less-time-consuming work around?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Moranis
In addition to what Leon offered up, I've noticed that
RoboHelp was eating (dropping) one of my own favorite meta tags
that I use quite often. My tag was one used to redirect. And I
later discovered that if I took care to place the tag lower in the
list of meta tags, it left it intact. So now I ensure that when I
add it, it's the last one in the list. Since doing this, RoboHelp
seems to leave it alone.
Note that it may not need to actually be last, but certainly
it was a problem if it was among the first three or four.
Not sure if this will help in your situation, but it may be
worth looking at.
Sincerely... Rick

Importing iPhotos with titles, descriptions and keywords from MacBookPro (Lion) to iMac (Lion) via DVD?

My previous versions of iLife 8 allowed me to do this. I label my images in the field on my laptop, return home burn them to a DVD, and then drag the images to the library on my iMac and voila they appeared with their tags. When I tried it for the first time with iLife 11 I tried everywhich way to import the images from the DVD to my iMac with the tags intact, but failed. I am not familiar with iCloud or streaming. Perhaps that is how it is now done.

Default is not for description and keywords?

I thought that a blank new page defaulted in code view to
give you keywords and descrition blank fields. I don't see that
now. Is that not default?

thanks in advance
you can e-mail me at : [email protected]

The code you show *already* has a keywords and description
META tag in
place. So - what is your question? You would either modify
the currently
existing ones or replace them with new ones. And the keywords
meta is
pretty useless as has already been suggested.

Meta tags and keywords.. what am I doing wrong?!

Hi there,
I apologise if this is the wrong place to post
I've been designing this website ( http://serenemind.com.au/ ) In Dreamweaver. I don't know if I've done the keywords / meta tag stuff right, it doesn't come up anywhere in google unless I type the exact URL
If someone could throw me a bone here I would greatly appriciate it
Thank you
Nick

How long has it been since you submitted the site to Google. It wont show up overnight. Might take a few days or a few weeks.
Also I see only one h3 tag on the page? Why no h1 or h2 tags. Spider sees these tags as more important.
Also depends what search term you are using - it shows up near the top in Google with these search phrases:
Healthy Mind Therapies Beacon Hill
Thought field therapy Beacon Hill
So not too bad.
Also your images have no alt="" tag. Google spider reads those so make the most of them. Try inserting your header.png in an <h1></h1> tag and then use some descriptive text on the alt tag(see below)
<h1><a href="http://www.serenemind.com.au"><img src="images/AHG_Web_header.png" width="700" height="200" border="0" alt="Insert some descriptive text about the site here"></a></h1>
You also need to get listed in as many good free web directories as possible. The more incoming links to your site the better Google will view it and might place it higher up the rankings.

Quotation Marks in Description Meta Tag

I want to put quotation marks around a book title in a description meta tag. When I add them using the Description field in Properties, Dreamweaver substitutes " for the quotation mark. I know it is doing this because the content= is in quotes. Will the quotation marks show up okay using these html entities in all search engine results that display what is in my description meta tag?
Also, does it work okay to use html. like <em> </em> in head meta tags?

You're spitting into the wind with this. Descriptions in your meta tags are displayed by some but not all search engines. And the manner in which your meta descriptions appear on SERPs is totally out of your control. USE ALL CAPS for BOOK TITLES. Regular case for all the rest.

Adding meta tags to published web site

I have created my website using iWeb and subsequently downloaded the RAVE SEO tool and used it to add for meta tags to my sites (description and keywords).
I followed this procedure:
1) I published my site from iWeb to a local folder on my iMac
2) I added the meta tags using the RAVE SEO tool
3) I tried to publish the site to my webhotel with tags added using the ftp tool in the RAVE SEO tool.
PROBLEM:
when I publish from the SEO tool, it is the old sites which are published. In my local folder where I started out publishing the web site to, I can see that the tags from description and keywords have been added. But the site which is published does not contain the tags.
I have a feeling that the SEO tool is looking in a wrong foder, but I cannot change the folder using the "FTP Details" funktion in the SEO tool.
Do anyone have a suggestion for what to do?
Thanks,
Klaus

I have a feeling that the SEO tool is looking in a wrong foder, but I cannot change the folder using the "FTP Details" funktion in the SEO tool.
When you click publish and choose FTP you can create a new setup or use an existing one.
And if you do not know which folder to publish to, click browse. You decide.

Meta Tag Placement in pages created from a template

I am updating a site and want to make sure that I place my meta tags correctly in individual pages created from a template. Can you tell me if my placement is correct?
Below is code I added to my template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

 
<style type="text/css">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>


<meta name="keywords" content="piano lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons, flute lessons, violin lessons, afterschool performing arts, voice lessons, singing, saxophone, trumpet">
<meta name="description" content="Information about Young Musician Institute's Afternoon Arts Program for piano, guitar, drums, violin, viola, trumpet, saxophone and cello">

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
As usually, Begin and end editable sections are grayed out, and the meta tag names are blue according to my scheme so I think I am doing it correctly, however, I want to be sure before submitting it to google incorrectly. Can you tell me if I am correct?
Thank you

for clarification, are you saying that I could have put them on the line after:
<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>
Yep.
Second, adding these meta tags actually did help the ranking of this company. They were not listed before I did this on their old site. They were on page 1 of their category hours after I did this for them.
I think it's just coincidence. However, for sure it wasn't the keywords that did that, since those are just ignored (the meta keywords contents, not the meta description contents).
what are the search engines looking for? I want to make sure to design with those things in mind.
They are looking for semantic content on the page. That means the contents of tags like <title>, <h1>, <h2>, <h3>. That also means (derived) keywords contained in content 'above the fold', and in filenames, in links, in title and alt attributes. In other words, search engines want to rank your pages based on *real* meaning of the contents of the page, not on some arbitrary listing of keywords that you place in a meta keyword tag.
Search engines also pay lots of attention to INCOMING links from other well ranked sites....
