Language meta tag missing

Even though I have 'English' checked as the language for my site, no <meta name="language" content="EN-US"> is written into the HTML. I've even tried adding it through the page's Metadata tab in the 'HTML for <head>', but it still doesn't get added.

I'm useing the Bing webtools, it also says
Language meta tag missing
I've added
<meta name="language" content="EN-US">
to the header but the webtool still says it's missing.

Cannot create title tag, meta tags for iWeb site, per Google requirements.

I created simple website in iWeb to meet art show deadline
www.barbaraturnertigrett.com
but when I tried to submit to search engines (via GoDaddy "Traffic Blazer" product), several issues or errors noted...no title tag, meta tags, keywords, too little text, etc. Was told by Apple, there is no fix at this time...no way to access to actual HTML code, to add title tag or meta tags, etc...since iWeb is merely a consumer, not professional enterprise, product. Researching further, I even tried to submit to Google directly, not via GoDaddy "Traffic Blazer", but could not "verify" my url site (because meta tag missing and/or could not upload entire html file, as required. I'd produced client websites in past on Adobe GoLive and was learning Dreamweaver, when someone alerted me to simplicity of iWeb. It is clean and simple, but wish I'd anticipated these other issues. Is there a solution to this with iWeb or should I finish learning Dreamweaver and start over? Thanks for any advice you can share.

Both these last postings were helpful. THANKS. I could not open home.html file with "text edit", but when using Taco HTML Edit, it would open...so I dusted off (novice) HTML skills and entered the appropriate title tag and meta tag, per Google's requirements. Then, went to my GoDaddy hosting control center and (I think) I uploaded new file with new tags. Seems to be major lag time with any changes, so not sure my site is now successfully "verified", on Google. Hope I did not mess anything up, in the process. There seems to be various lag times before any changes take effect (right??).
So now...I'm very glad to find out about iMap and will buy it and watch the tutorial video, as instructed...since I am unsure if last 'fix'...fixed the problem, etc...and always eager to learn more. This is my first Apple discussion post, and certainly impressed/grateful for expert help. THX again.

Do meta tags still work?

I have a website where I sell my arts and crafts and someone
from another forum gave me some advice about making my website more
searchable. She said:
"I visited your site and found a few things that might help
you with getting more hits. One of the main things I note is that
that you are missing numerous meta tags. All I could see were Title
and Keywords. You are missing many of the necessary meta tags that
the search engines look for to index a site."
I thought I heard that most major seach engines now over look
meta tags, making them obsolete. Maybe I'm misunderstanding
something. Can someone please clarify? That would be super
appreciated. :)
Thanks!
Crystal

Yes, that's what I mean. The email is designed to prey on the
poorly
informed and unwary consumer, just the same as the domain
expiration notices
for a domain you don't own do, and the way the Nigerian bank
account does.
For what it's worth, I am not aware of a single search engine
that uses any
of those meta tags to develop a site ranking.... But if it
helps you feel
better, then that's up to you.

Invalid meta tag generated when using XHTML method

Hi,
I'm trying to generate an XHTML file using XSL and the XHTML output method. However, transformation results in adding the following XHTML-invalid meta tag (uppercase and non-closing) in the head tag:
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Is it a bug in the XDK or am I missing something? Transform is performed using the JXTransformer provided in 11g.
Thanks in advance,
Stephane

For some reason when I use MapForce tool to generate my xslt mapping source, it is generating the following statement in the xsl file.
     <xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="n" result-prefix="#default"/>
So at the root element of XML file, it is replacing the character n with '#default' for some reason, I don;t know the purpose of this.
As you suggested, I changed the name space, still I experienced same problem.
It is now resolved after removing the above xsl statement from the xsl file before creating/uploading the relevant zip file into archives folder.
It works fine now. Thanks for the clue.

Meta tags for Open Graph

1. These are the meta tags that I use (I hope am using them right). What do you use mostly?
2. Also I have a problem when sharing my website on facebook. the og:image is for forcing facebook to use an image of my preference as a thumbnail. Instead of that facebook is using a wrong image and marked it as "safe_image". Why is this happening?
<meta property="og:title" content="Myname - Best Products in Town">
<meta property="og:type" content="Product">
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.mybestproducts.com/">
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Myname">
<meta property="og:description" content="Selling the best products">
<meta property="og:image" content="images/mylogo.png">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="550">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="550">
Thank you all in advance

Thanks but it's not what I am looking. First of all this article is not complete. There're missing attributes like : <meta property="fb:admins" which is related to open graph meta tags. Also what I ask i what experts use when it comes to open graph meta tags from their experience.
Also I asked for a problem related with facebook posting. When I share my website facebook doesn't grasp the image as it supposed to do (as set in meta tag og:image). I used the facebook debugger and this is what I got :
1. Object at URL 'http://(MY WEBSITE URL)/' of type 'designer' is invalid because the given value 'images/IMAGE.png' for property 'og:image:url' could not be parsed as type 'url'
2. To help you debug, these are the canonical URLs this URL used to point to : facebook.com/(MYFACEBOOK PAGE). I used to forward my domain to my facebook page for long time. Now that I've made my website what should I do? Will my domain stay connected with the wrong image forever?

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 !!

Meta tag error in site created by dreamweaver

I recently checked my site www.bestical.com at The W3C Markup Validation Service and there are error in it
but added all the meta tags by standard Dreamweaver tools
so which one is wring?

Short answer: You're using an HTML5 doc type which has a different set of specs for valid meta tags and other HTML syntax.
Introduction to HTML
Where you have this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="fa">
Language must be expressed in the <html> tag like this:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="fa">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
For more on HTML5 specifications, see the W3Schools site above.

Meta tag inspector settings

Hi there.
On the GoLive (CS2) meta tag inspector, there are a bunch of different drop down settings. The default is "generator" and others; abstract, author, copyright, date, descriptor, keywords, language, organization, public, ratings, revisits-after and robots.
what are the difference between those? where should they be used for optimum website placement? why does it default to "generator" and not "keywords" for instance?
thanks for your help.
best, M/

The only one of those that has any value with regard to SERP is the
description. You can ignore all the others except for the revisits and
robots ones which may be useful in guiding the search engine spiders on how
to index your site.
The remainder as strictly used for special purpose needs. You can find a
complete description of them all here -

Changing default META TAG

Hi,
is there any solution for changing the default meta tag charset? In my case it's <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf8"> but I need
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=windows-1250">. I can't simply add this meta tag to HTML header, because APEX automatically insert it's own meta tag for character set.
thanx for your advices
Robert

Another issue, which i've solved on my own.
It's not the question of character set in html meta tag. The solution for this issue was easy. You have to import data with NLS_LANG system variable set to correct language. In my case it was EE8MSWIN1250. After such import, all data are displayed correctly within IE.

Meta tags or descriptions

Are Meta tags or descriptions the best way for your website to get picked up by Google, Bing, & Yahoo? Or do you have to pay them for better results? Thanks!

Since some months I use "Dublin Core Metadata".
Here the link: http://www.metatags.info/dublin_core_metadata_element_set
On the other hand – what concerns "Olde Worlde Lace's “that neither it nor this forum say much about“ there was a very interesting thread here in the forum about SEO, which I remember.
1) Fully understand your markup language.
2) Work first BEFORE anything on CONTENT not on black hat "tricks" and or on white hat inbound links.
3) Expand the content so that you become an authority on the subject of the keyword phrases you wish to appear well ranked for.
4a) Avoid the error of going all over the internet looking for the "ONE WAY TO SUCCESS" posts. There is NO such thing. Google does not rank all sites and blogs by the same values. Some are simply in the top ten for middle to complex keywords and keyword phrases because of their AGE and the AUTHORITY factor (that they contain original content with good outbound links WHILE OTHER BLOGS AND SITES are listed in the top ten ON REGIONAL search because of inbound links (example: You are better ranked on Google.FR if you have FRENCH blogs from FRENCH servers linking to you as well as being yourself hosted on a FRENCH dot fr domain or a in France hosted dot com). And there are certain pages which are ranked simply by the volume of search requests for that page. And then there are others which appear and remain in the top ten because they are rated by Google with what is called PageRank .... and on and on.
In other words before you end up getting depressed and giving in to purchasing Adwords (sponsored links) try the following:
4b) Set a routine. Make this routine involve an hour at least per day to UPDATING and EXPANDING your content. Use PDF files (learn how to optimize meta tags and onpage PDF alt text and Accessibility). Expand with images which have BEFORE YOU UPLOAD THEM been right clicked to add (on your computer) meta information to the image files. Make sure to name your image info TRUTHFULLY (Google can read the content of images) so do not call it PARIS HILTON and ME unless it is a photo of you and Paris. Use the "+" sign between keywords. Per example if indeed it is a picture of you with Paris Hilton in Saint Tropez in the summer of 2008 then you might wish to name the image: YourFullnameInOneword+ParisHilton+SaintTropez+France+2008.jpg - note that some image formats do not allow for meta tags. Also be aware that as soon as you start tagging your images these keywords will be READ BY THE ROBOTS as they crawl your markup - so DO NOT SPAM your image titles and have DIFFERENT image tittles. Also place your images in a 2 deep folder system on your server AND ALWAYS LINK TO THE IMAGE WITH THE FULL URI / URL.
4c) Next spend a few hours reading a good BOOK about SEO. There are several. The best I have found is by DAVID VINEY and called "Get to the Top on Google" (Published by Nicholas Brealey Publishing - London, Boston). This book will give you tips and techniques to get your site to the of the search engine rankings and stay there. Also read the archives of Vanessa Fox's Blog - www.ninebyblue.com/blog/ (HGD now > http://www.ninebyblue.com/blog/seo/).
5) Set your objective to 3 keywords or keyword phrases per page.
6) Start to NAME YOUR PAGES with your keywords and name your folders as well - but try to do this ALL in small letters with dashes between words.
7) Install Google Webmaster Tools.
8) Make and add a XML sitemap and update this on Google Webmaster Tools. (And get Google Analytics)
9) Start to seek IN THE TEXT BODY PageRank 5 and higher "follow links"
(see here info about NOFOLLOW links on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow).
10) Take a break and start again - the key to success is WORK. Nothing else will give you lasting success as honest effort.
11) ... and as Nancy O. said: only a short time ago: patience!

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.
Don
The Glass Cottage

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.

Can a website's viewport meta tag be over-ridden in Firefox?

I'm hoping there's an add-on to override viewport meta tags. I checked about:config and didn't see anything relevant.
A website I use, tumblr, does no browser version checking, and mis-uses the viewport setting to apply a value of "960" to every device. Since my laptop's browser window is 1230 actual pixels, the tumblr webpage is stretched out, which makes images look terrible.
Their viewport tag minus the lesser/greater symbols:
meta name="viewport" content="width=960" id="viewport"
I'd like to override their viewport tag completely, as if it did not exist, or substitute one with <i>content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1”</i> so I'll have a 1-to-1 pixel ratio.
Not much hope of getting tumblr to stop treating all devices the same; their code to get the language version from browsers for font settings has been broken for years. I have reported the viewport problem to tumblr support, however.
I'm using Firefox 25.0.1 for Windows (Vista).

I'm sorry that no one replied to your question.
If you're looking for a Firefox add-on, you can search through addons.mozilla.org or ask a question on the Mozilla Add-ons forum, which is here:
* https://forums.mozilla.org/addons/

META TAGGING PROBLEM

Hi
Im trying to get a metatag in my dreamweaver coding but it is not working (used on of these meta tag generators).
My website is actually only a flash file, so I have inserted a swf file into dreamweaver with a code for meta tagging
Can someone please tell me the right way of doing this, from the beginning, im clearly missing something
thanks in advance

Switch to Code View. Your document should look something like this:
<!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=iso-8859-1" />
<YOUR META TAGS GO HERE />
<title>Your Page Title </title>
Does this help?

How do I add multiple scripts from search engines to my meta tag properties?

I currently have copied the goolge script for website varification and analytics, etc and pasted it into my meta tag properties dialog box. There is no problem as far as Google varifying the page. However, I would like to copy Bing's search engine script into my meta tag in addition to Googles script. How do I go about doing this? Do I hit the return on my keyboard under the ending of Googles script, then paste in the Bing script?
The the last part of the Google script ending in this:
</script>
(paste new script from Bing here?)
Will this cancel out each other and cause problems?
Can someone walk me through this process, because Bing's search engine will not varify my site through two of the three other methods.
Ben

Adding a script after the closure of previous script is the way to go i.e. right after the </script> tag.
So it should look something like below:
<script>
Google's script
</script>
<script>
Bing's script
</script>
Cannot comment on one interfering with the other since it really depends on what exact code is there in the scripts. Google and Bing help resources will be able to help more with this.
Thanks,
Vikas

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.
