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?

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

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. I need step by step instructions on how to accomplish this please .

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...

A title and maybe a meta description belong to every single
page. But
much more important is usable and properly structured
content.

Iphone application shows number as underlined, when used in native app, even after using meta tag for removing telephone no. formatting.

I have developed an app, which shows some numbers which are 10 digit long. I used meta tag for removing the formatting for telephone, so that the phone doesnt take those numbers as phone numbers.
It works fine when that page is launched through safari in iphone, but when i add an icon for that app to my iphone desktop and then launch it, the numbers are underlined.
I am using iPhone 4, Can anyone help, to remove those underlines?

I am not able to share a blogpost image on facebook using the open graph meta-tag for the blogpost image.

Dear Members,
I am wrestling a few days now, and still not able to get a blogpost image into the facebook share-box.
This is the link where i am talking about:
Top 10 Celebrities on Holiday in Saint Tropez
I have 2 issues:
1
Below ( under the blog-post ) you'll find my facebook like button.
When i like the blog-post, the share-box pops up BUT without the blog image.
I put the link in the debugger window from Facebook, but it tells me that the open graph tag for a image is not proper defined.
this is the link to facebook debugger : https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
So i created this meta-tag : <meta property="og:image" content="/_assets/images/blog/img-{tag_blogpostid}.jpg" />
and put it inside the head of the html code for the detailed blog post lay-out ( site-manager/module-templates/Blog lay-outs/Blog post detail lay-out )
2
I dont know how i must specify the URL to be liked on facebook.
My blog-list url = http://www.duvanduvan.com/blog BUT i have to specify the url for a single blogpost item, but have no idea what to specify. i tried different url's like : duvanduvan.com/blog/{tag_itemurl} etc.... with no result
Can you also help me out here?
I really tried everything i possibly know off but without result :-(
Can somebody help me out here?
Much much appreciated.

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.

Best practice for implementing META tags for content items?

Hello,
The portal site I'm responsible for managing our content (www.sers.state.pa.us) runs on the following WebCenter products:
WebCenter Interaction 10.3.0.1
WebCenter Publisher 6.5
WebCenter Studio 2.2 MP1
Content Service 10gR3
The agency I work for is one of many for the commonwealth of PA, which use this product suite, and I'm encountering some confusion on how to apply META tags to the content items for our site, so we can have effective search results. According to the [W3C site's explanation on META tag standards|http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_meta.asp], the tags for description, keywords, etc, should be within the head region of the HTML document. However, with how the WebCenter suite's configuration is set up, the head section of the HTML is closed off by the end of the template code for a common header portlet. I was advised to add fields to our presentation and data entry templates for content, to add these meta fields, however, since they are then placed within the body section of the HTML as a result, these tags fail to have any positive impact on the search results. Instead, many of our content items, when searched for, the description in the search results only shows text that is displayed in the header and left navigation of our template, which come early in the body section of the HTML.
Please advise as to possible method(s) that would be best to implement usage of META tags so we can get our pages containing content to come up in search results with this relevant data.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

if i remember right the index server will capture meta tags even if they are not in the <head> section. it is not well formed html but I think i remember that we created meta tags down in the body section and the index server still picked them up. you might try this and see if it still works. i believe it worked in 10gR3. Let me know your results.

Title, meta tags for seo, where to put in code..?

Hi guys
Im trying to optimise my first ever site and Im doing it in dreamweaver. Ive figured out the title and meta tags are html and was just wondering whereabouts in my html code should I put them...?
Are they before the body tag..? Are they before my first div tag in the code..?
Are they in a specific div tag, e.g header div=title tag, meta tag = main content div....?
Any help would be great
Cheers :-)

I wasnt recommending he use meta-keywords, I was just answering his question. However, my employer has a huge static site with thousands of products and he is always listed in the top 5, if not number one in google searches. His site is all text with one image on each product page with an alt tag. He doesnt have ANY back links whatsoever, but uses page text content, meta-keywords, and meta-descriptions extensively. He doesnt even use heading tags. His site layout is with tables, and he uses deprecated html such as <font> and <center> tags on every page. Of course we have discussed the problems his site is going to encounter eventually with regards to his layout and use of the deprecated tags.
I'm not saying search engines use meta-keywords, but I have to say what ever he's done has worked very well.
My point is, I read and read about what search engines use and dont use to rank and index pages, yet I see contradictions everyday to both sides.

Best Practice for Placing meta tags in HEAD of document

Good afternoon,
We are utilizing Oracle UCM's ability to dynamically generate pages based on page templates, region templates, and contributor data files that contributors may edit and publish. We have a specific need to include meta tags in the head section of each page that are custom to the data present in each contributor data file. Including the meta tags in the region template that pertains to a section of our website does not work, as it does not include a <head> section. Alternatively, I can not place the meta tags in the page template, as the data in each meta tag is specific to the metadata surrounding each contributor data file.
My question is this: Is there a best practice, or Oracle-supported method of accomplishing this task? I have to believe there is some way to accomplish this, as the need for meta tags for social media sites and search engines is very common.
Thank you very much for your time,
Josh

Thanks for the reply, Jiri.
I believe that the answer is 'yes' to both of your questions above. I do have a question about the formatting of the meta tag itself, as my main question is how do I extract the needed information from a particular CDF so that it is displayed in the <head> section located in the page template.
I have a Region Definition for the content section of my page with a 'Title' field, which a contributor can fill in, save, and create a Contributor Data File with their own specified title. Let's also say that my page template, which formats the entire page, looks like this (rough):
<html>
<head>
<title>Web page</title>
</head>
<body>



</body>
</html>
What would my <meta> tag look like for the following:
<meta property="og:title" content="Title of the content section"/>
Let's name our templates/definitions:
Page Template: PT_META
Region Template: RT_META
Region Definition: RD_META
Contributor Data File: CDF_META
In other words, how do I extract the information included in the Contributor Data File (as well as its metadata) for use in the Page Template? Is there some sort of Idoc Script call that can be used?
Thank you so much,
Josh

Unique Meta Title Tags for each Photo HTML Gallery

I am using Lightroom 3.2 I would like to hack the HTML Web Gallery Engine to create unique title meta tags for each photo when it is selected for better search engine performance. I have been trying to mess around with the code and have not figured out what code I need to change. Does any one know what file I would need to change and what I would need to change it to enable a unique title tag based on the title of the actual photo in the HTML Web Galleries? Thanks for any help. I'm not a hard core coder by any means. There has to be someone out there that knows their LR very well.
Best regards,
Matt George

Sean,
     I tried switching <title>$metadata.siteTitle.value</title> to <title>$metadata.image.title</title> in the head.html file, but that just gave me a big error in LR when previewing the gallery.
     I tried switching metadata.siteTitle.value to image.metadata.title in galleryInfo.lrweb file, but that did not work either.
     I figure there must be a basic way to implement <title>Unique Photo Metadata Title</title> for each large photo html page in the Lightroom galleries, but I have not been able to figure it out. I assume I'm close, but since I'm not a coder like you I thought I would ask you. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Best regards,
Matt George

Using itemtype img tag and meta tag with {tag_largeimage}

Hi everyone
Just getting into using Social Media meta Tags for my online store using bc
Schema.org markup for Google+
Twitter Card data
Open Graph data
and I used this site for reference Must-Have Social Meta Tags for Twitter, Google+, Facebook and More - Moz
Ive added this to my large product page and now ive entered the world of Schema.org markup and itemtype and im having trouble with images.
for my large product page ive turned the meta tags from this...
<meta itemprop="image" content="http://www.example.com/image.jpg">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://www.example.com/image.html">
<meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/image.jpg" />
to this
<meta itemprop="image" content="{tag_largeimage}">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="{tag_largeimage}">
<meta property="og:image" content="{tag_largeimage}" />
but the page doesnt like it and the page reads with 3 /> /> /> at the top of my html page for anyone to see meaning that bc doesnt like the code.
also doesnt like it when i use
<img itemprop="image" {tag_largeimage}" />
turns into this
<img alt="" itemprop="image" />
Image is the only one im having a problem with so far any ideas if I can do anything about it. I dont want to have to manually add a http to every product.
thanks
Dave

the meta tags work now.
the only one i still cant get to work is the
<img itemprop="image" {tag_largeimage}" />
when I change it to _path the html editor saves it as
<img alt="" itemprop="image_path" />
so will have to leave that for now put I can still use alot of the itemprop tags to promote the page better than before.
thanks for the help

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?

Meta Tags DO matter

Hi
I have run some tests and despite what most people say, the Meta tags do make a big difference in SEO,.... with iWeb anyway.
When I enter meta tags for my site www.teachabroadthailand.com i get listed for my target keywords and description. When I don't enter the Meta tags, my site description come up with all this garble in the summary.
Trouble is, I have to use another FTP client to go in and enter the Meta tags each time I edit the site. This is infuriating and somewhat defeats the purpose of using iWeb.
I'm baffled as to why iWeb cannot allow such a simple, but still very important, feature.
Also since I upgraded to iLife 09 my iWeb has become buggy. The site doesn't display properly on IE8.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

A lot of us use iWeb SEO Tool to add tags.
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/Tags.html
There are a lot of features that could and should be added to iWeb. All this stuff has been suggested over and over but nobody listens.
iWeb needs to have both an optimizer and a way to enter meta data.
The developers seem to have burned their brains out on their dysfunctional FTP and haven't yet got around to fixing the actual bugs.

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.

Is there a way to set up default SEO meta tags in Business Catalyst?

Drupal and other platforms have settings where you can create default meta tags for pages you did not yet optimize manually (using tokens). Is there such a function in business catalyst? Thanks for your help!

Only a manual form request the admin then actions.
