Meta tag keyword

Is there a limit to the number of words you can put within
the keywords section of the meta tags? What other ways can I
promote good recongition by search engines?

Not that it really matters, though....

Meta tags - Keywords, etc.

Hey guys...
Can someone give me some guidance on where I can insert the Meta Tags and Keywords on my source page so that my site can be searched....etc. Is there a program that does it automatically or do I put them in manually and where...
Thanks in advance.

iWeb SEO Tool is a freeware application from Rage software that does all this for you.....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/Tags.html
"I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."

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.

Meta tag question(s)

I am curious about a meta tag I came across:
<meta name="description" content=" ">
<meta name="keywords" content=" ">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="31 days">
<meta name="robots" content="all">
<meta name="url" content="
http://www.cariholdorf4homes.com">
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true">
Is this necessary and/or beneficial to a website?
How does this work?
Will this work on all websites?
How soon does an search engine identify new meta tags if a
website is active?
If I create a somewhat unique meta tag (keyword or
description) for e.g. 'Revere's Electric Gates', will this get
placed near the top of search engines?
How can I increase the odds of getting near the top of a
search?

> <meta name="description" content=" ">
Use the description meta tag for marketing purposes. It's
usually (not
always, but very often) the snippet that is shown below the
page title in
search results. It doesn't affect WHERE in the SERPS your
site appears, but
it can affect whether a person is motivated to click through
to your site.
> <meta name="keywords" content=" ">
Pretty worthless. Don't bother.
> <meta name="revisit-after" content="31 days">
Worthless.
> <meta name="robots" content="all">
"Robots all" is the default behavior. No need for this one.
You only need to
use the robots tag to specify non-default behavior, e.g., no
index or no
follow.
> <meta name="url" content="
http://www.cariholdorf4homes.com">
Non standard, not in any specs anywhere, therefore worthless.
> <meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing"
content="true">
This was worth using in the past when MS was trying to use
its proprietary
SmartTags technology to hijack visitors. I don't know that
there's any need
for it currently, although I long ago put it it in my own
default template,
so it's probably in every site I create.
One more to consider:
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">
I use this one to keep Windows from popping up that annoying
and distracting
image toolbar whenever the mouse is hovering over an image on
the page.

Can contributablelement be used to populate a META tag in the head section?

We're currently using UCM 10gR4 with SSPU.
We'd like to use a contribution element to allow contributors to add text that would populate the META tags (Keywords and Description) that reside in the HEAD section for a node.
In most cases, there is a 1-1 relationship between nodes and Content Items (placeholders).
I've already built a solution for this using Custom Section Properties, but the preference is to allow the contributor to review/update the meta values with another contributable element. Then, the text entered can be reviewed within workflow and the element is more prominent to the contributor.
The next best solution would be to use a metadata field to update the meta tags.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance,
Todd M

bingo!!!!
Ryan, that was it! The measly little escape characters! Now it's working like a charm, which makes my day!
Here's the recap of the fragment, if others find it useful.
Intent: to allow contributors to enter content that would appear in the Meta tags for a particular page. This content will also go through workflow for the appropriate approval, as well as be more prominent for the contributor to actually enter the content!
Here's the fragment code. "Content" as it appears in the code is the defined placeholder name. MetaKey and MetaDesc are elements added to the Region Definitions (as plain text). The conditionals at the end of the fragment handle the case if these areas are blank.
Thanks to all for your responses!

Finding meta-tag attribute values

we are considering using UltraSearch for our web site search and i'm trying to figure out how to implement some of our requirements.
i have created a new Attribute and mapped it to a Meta-tag keyword we have defined, but i can't figure out how to get/select the values found in the Meta-tag so i can create a pull-down list of values.
what are the tables and what is the SQL i need to get these values/words?
thanks!
cb

You may have already solved this issue but I have been trying to do the same thing and here is what I have found:
Within the ultrasearch table structure there is a table named 'dr$wk$doc_path_idx$i'. This table contains the indexed words and other values. One of the columns is named TOKEN_TYPE. From what I have seen there is a unique TOKEN_TYPE for each mapped attribute. You can then select from that table based on TOKEN_TYPE(or create a view for each attribute). For Example: I mapped an attribute called Country to a meta tag named Country. Let's say that the TOKEN_TYPE for this example is '24'. I can then query the table for all values with a TOKEN_TYPE of 24 to give me a list of countries that were found. NOTE: The results returned are single words ie: united, states, kingdom, arab, emirates - not "United States", "United Kingdom", "United Arab Emirates". If you solve how to string them together please post bag.

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.
Best,
john

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.

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.

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.

Online .pdf documents, meta tags; title, keywords, descriptions. search engines

Hi. In DW 8.0.
I searched the forums for this but was unable to find the answer.
I would like to have meta tags in my .pdf files that are on the web.
When someone does a search for one of them in Google or Yahoo!, it reads the title in a bizarre upper & lower case letter pattern under the search results page.
"ExaMPLe SAMple tiTLE"
Correct me if I am wrong, but Google creates source code for .pdfs so others can search for them, but I do not understand why the title looks the way it does.
I was hoping by changing the title meta tag in the actual .pdf using Acrobat would solve this, but I am waiting to see if this will work.
Does anyone know of a better way of changing/adding the meta tags to an online .pdf document?
Thanks.

PDF is a print document.
HTML is a web document.
AFAIK, meta tags are found only in web documents.
Soluiton would be to convert your PDFs to HTML pages and use your own meta tags and titles.

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.

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 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.
