How do I add Meta tags to my website

I have produced a website in i web and published it to my .mac account.
I need to know how to add meta tags to get it recognised by the search engines.
The company I am using to do this want the ftp info. As I upload directly to my .mac account I am not sure what they need. Can you help please?

I think I may have a good workaround here, not sure how it will work with .mac as I dont use it, I am in control of my default page within Apache.
Create your site as normal within Iweb and publish it.
Outside of iWeb create your site's real default homepage by hand, that contains the meta tags and that redirects to your iWeb homepage. In this way any Search engine hits to your site will hit the external page first, reading the meta tags then get redirected to your real home page. Not ideal of course but at least you don't have to keep an eye on your metatag's being overwritten by republishing your homepage.
Here is the code from mine, it appears to work:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!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><title></t+
+itle><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= Welcome.html" />+
+<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="enter,your,keywords,here">
+<META NAME="description" CONTENT="description of your website">+
</head><body></body></html>
This page will redirect to the "Welcome.html" page created in iWeb.
Hope this helps.

How do you add meta tags to your website in Iweb

How do I add Meta tags to pages?

Is it possible to add meta tag information for the pages (such as keywords, description, robots, etc.) directly in Muse?
I'd like to add meta tag data to describe the page to help with search engine optimization.

I found a lot of useful information on here: http://www.muse-themes.com/blogs/news/6103624-seo-in-adobe-muse-search-engine-optimization #comments
However I would like to know: If you have multiple pages dealing with different topics does one need to adjust the meta-data accordingly for each page.
For example, I am redoing a website for a small earthmoving contractor who offers a range of services including new lawn installation (NOT mowing!), drainage, landscaping, post hole boring, driveways - to name a few; these are essentially the main pages with content explaining each service a little further.
So would I be correct in assuming I should have a unique description, keywords and (obviously) page title for each page?
How about the home page? Should the metadata attempt to cover all services offered within the website as a whole, or just the content of the home page?
Thanks in advance!

How do I add meta tag data to a TIF image file

I'd like to add information such as camera type, shutter speed, and other measurement parameters to image files that I'm creating with my IMAQ application. I have not found a good source of information on how to accomplish this. Does anybody else have any suggestions, leads or pointers?
Thanks in Advance,
Derek

I've looked at IMAQ Write Image and Vision Info File 2.vi. According to the documentation, "Writes an image, along with extra vision information associated with the image, to a PNG file. This extra vision information includes overlay information, pattern matching template information, and calibration information. Note that this vision information can only be saved with the PNG file format."
I have used the Write Custom Data.vi to write several keys to the image, before using the Write Image and Vision Info VI noted above. It does not seem that the keys can be read as metadata from the file by windows or other applications.
It is discussed on LAVA at
http://lavag.org/topic/5297-embedding-additional-txt-in-a-png-file-imaq-82/
It seems like the solution should be quite simple.... not there yet.

What is the best way to add "meta tags" in edge?

Trying to add meta tags for search engines, what are the best ways to do this?

With the latest version of Edge (3.0) is still the best practice to edit index.html or is there a better one?
Y try for example...
var meta1 = '<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />';
$(meta1).appendTo("head");
...in creationComplete or in document.compositionReady but I can't see these lines in index.html file, are stored in index_edgeActions.js file.
But maybe that works to attach the meta tags with append to head because it does work fine (and neither are saved in the index.html):
var favicon = "<link rel='shortcut icon' href='images/volicon.png' type='image/png'/>" ;
$(favicon).appendTo("head");
I don't know if Google detect meta tags stored in index_edgeAtions.js or is more recommended to modify index.html manually with notepad.
Maybe the best practice are save and publish Edge project with a name different than index (for example project.an and project.html) and to create an index.html manually with meta tags, code of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, etc., and with HTML meta http-equiv Attribute for to redirect immediately to project.html generate with Edge (remember disallow project.html in robots.txt). In this way is not necessary to modify the index.html file each time that we publish.
How do you see?

To add meta tags, you open your published .html pages with TextEdit or any other text editor and modify as required. You have to do redo it each time you republish. Ihow do I do this? I need step by step instructions

Rage Sitemap Automator and iWeb SEO Tool are two different applications.
Use SEO Tool to add the title tag and meta description. These need to be added to the html file for every page of your website. SEO Tool stores all these so that when you republish you only need to add tags to any new pages and click the re-apply button to refresh the existing ones.
Once you have added. refreshe the tags with iWeb SEO Tool and uploaded the files with your FTP application, then open the site in Sitemap Automator and create and upload a new sitemap.
Once you have set up accounts with Google, Yahoo and Bing, verified your site with each and submitted a sitemap, on subsequent publishing Sitemap Automator will resubmit the sitemap with one button click. It will also notify Ask.com whch doesn't require an account since you can add your domain name to this URL to ping them...

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

Do I need to add meta tag info to all pages if I'm creating a desktop, tablet and phone site?

Hi all,
I'm creating a website for a client and have built a desktop, tablet and mobile site.
What I'm wanting to know is can I add meta tags to only the desktop pages or does it need them on the tablet and mobile sites as well? Does this include images as well since the same images are repeated on all three site?
Lastly I have to add Google Analytics to the <head> section, is this only done on the home page of the desktop site or does this need to be added to every page (including tablet and mobile)?
Would be grateful for any info or links.
Thanks
Krishna

Hi guvieira,
I found the answer to this issue.
For the meta tags, if you create meta tags for the desktop pages, you can copy and paste that information to the tablet and mobile sites.
For the Google Analytics you can copy the tracking html text to the 'HTML for <head>' in the Metadata window (Page - Page Properties) on your masters page (this will flow onto the rest of the pages).
Hope this helps.

META TAGS? How do I change meta tags while designing my website in iweb?

META TAGS? How do I change meta tags while designing my website in iweb?

I've designed a new website using iWeb. (I'm a beginner and have never done this before.) I published it to MobileMe. The site is for a volunteer organization, which requires that all pictures and images have text tags. (For this purpose, I assume that's the same as Meta tags.) A rep at the local Apple store clued me into iWebSEO Tool ("SEO"). I used it successfully got all my pictures and images tagged, altho it was hard and took a few hours. This was two months ago. I checked my site earlier this week and all the tags have disappeared. I went back to SEO and all my original work was still there. So I hit re-apply and then saved and republished my site. Still no tags. I have several questions. Is this a regular problem with SEO? Do I have to do all the tags over again? Is there any easier solution? Is Apple going to improve iWeb so this is not a problem in the future? I'll appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

Hi,
there are no meta tags in HTMLB !!   If you really need to include these in your development, you have to do it with the old HTML tags like this:
<html>
<head>
meta name="author" content="Anna Lyse"
meta http-equiv="expires" content="Sat, 01 Dec 2001 00:00:00 GMT"
meta name="keywords" lang="en-us" content="vacation, Greece, sunshine"
</head>
</html>
I cannot enter the correct code for META because the @§$%&/ configuration in this forum is triggering an error page !!

How to add meta tags and keywords, I cannot find a way to do that

Does somebody know how can I add content and keywords to my website dome with I web?
It seems it is important for search engines to find it!

Content is what you add to your page. The visible part your visitors can see.
Keywords have to be added with [a META tag in the HEAD|http://www.google.com/search?q=meta%20tag%20head] of the webpage. That cannot be done in iWeb. You have to edit the published pages with a HTML Editor of your choice.
It's debatable whether these keywords have any impact on being found by a Search Engine.
Provide good content.

How about adding a meta tag to the index file.....

This is another way to get verified with Google and other search engines. Does anyone know a way that you could add a meta tag to the index file generated by iweb??
Thanks for any help....Matt

I'm glad it worked. Nevertheless you might think of uploading an html file as well. The index.html sometimes gets overwritten by iweb, thus the meta-tag would disappear and you would have to do it again. The html file instead stays where it is.
Here's how to procede:
When they will ask you to verify that it really is your website. “Choose verification method” select “Upload an HTML file” and now you will have to build that verification file (here’s a How-to by Roddy).
1. Go to your applications folder and launch Text Edit.
2. Don't put anything on the blank page.
3. Select File/Save As.
4. In the popup window "Save As" box enter your Google number (something like google05a23d347cXXXXXX )
5. In the "Where" box select desktop.
6. In "File Format" menu select HTML.
7. Click "Save".
8. A file will appear on your desktop called google05a23d347cXXXXXX.html
9. This is what you upload to your server or iDisk.
Upload that file to your main folder on your server so that it will be http://www.yoururl.com/google05a23d347cXXXXXX.html (not in the subfolder of the Sites folder named with the title of your site...*).
For .Mac go to the Finder menu and select Go/iDisk/My iDisk/ or hit SchiftCommand(Apple)i and then go to /Web/Sites/. Drop your file into the "Sites" folder
Entering: http://web.mac.com/username/google05a23d347cXXXXXX.html in your browser should bring up this file. If it doesn’t you placed the file in the wrong location.
Entering: http://yourbaseurl.com/google05a23d347cXXXXXX.html in your browser should bring up this file. If it doesn’t you placed the file in the wrong location.
Regards,
Cédric
