Meta Tags problems

I inserted the appropriate meta tags and follow all
instructions, etc. but when I run an analysis from the site which
handles my web page (i.e., www.register.com) there is no
recognition:
Your Meta Tags
The table below lists the meta tags that are currently on
your site.
Meta Tag Current Content
Title No TITLE tag found
Keywords No META KEYWORDS tag found
Description No META DESCRIPTION tag found
Obviously, I am doing something wrong.
Any suggestions/guidance would be appreciated.

> Obviously, I am doing something wrong.
Yeah. Meta tags have almost NO effect on page ranking or
SERP.

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.

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,

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.

HTML5 Meta Tag issue

I have a site that is built using Project 7's Affinity Page Builder in HTML5 with a meta tag that seems to cause problems with the W3C Validator.
The meta tag is this:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">
The Website is here:
http://www.bobbybailbonds.net/
Client liked the Affinity theme, Al Sparber earned his pay. But what's with the meta tag? I understand this causes Internet Exploder to not freak out when dealing with this kind of responsive layout. And I also came across a description of this as a bug in the W3C group: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2013Mar/0009.html
First question: Is there an alternative that will specifically work with Microsoft's browsers?
Second question: Is this something that will be a known fix that is upcoming?
Third: What happens when this is left out? What do the Microsoft browsers do?

Oh, Nancy!
I don't do Windows.
(You did ask for this, you know)
If you read the article, there is a php solution in the header of each page. I, personally, do like the universal solution—use it once, all pages on that web server are done.
I had one client on an IIS server and pulled him off it. I uploaded a whole bunch of .PNG files and there were a few .PDFs that my client wanted linked. The server didn't know what the .PNG files were and didn't know what the .PDFs were, either, so it refused to serve them. Hosting provider was so slow with tech support that I pulled the site (and put it on Linux/Apache) before he got back to me. Apparently, you have to tell Windows that these are OK files to host.
Sheesh!

Are the META tags in a pdf file visible by search engines?

I have several hundred newsletters in pdf format on a website.
I am in the process of entering META tag information (title,description,keywords) through the Properties panel of each pdf file. Is this information that will be visible by search engines in a WordPress site?
I ask, because every post in WordPress has a place to enter keyword tags. The problem I'm having in WordPress is that every post shows the tag information rather than making it invisible. If the properties information in the pdf file does the same thing, I won't bother with entering it again in WordPress.
Thanks to anyone who might have insight into this question.
Many thanks!

It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
(Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).
Be well...

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.

STYLE tag problem in HTML Parser.

Please help me out.

IPhone HTML meta tags

I have been developing a mobile website for the past year. Up until the last test on my iPhone, which was today, the website would adjust to the iPhone's browser size. I accomplished this using a meta tag in the HTML.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,user-scalable=no">
For an unknown reason (the code has not been altered, I have even tried uploading backups) the meta tag is completely ignored by the iPhone browser.
*What could possibly be wrong?*
NOTE: Today was the first test since I updated by iPhone firmware to 3.1.3. I also tested it on another 3.1.3 device with the same problem. I thought it might be a bug in the new firmware.

Other iPhone compatible websites are working perfectly. I compared source code, I found nothing. Nothing is wrong with my code as it was working before. I tested about 4 different backups. None of them are working. The mystery is that there is a problem with my website, but no problem with the source code.
Here is the source code for one page:
Check this link because I wasn't able to post the source code, the link is an image.

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?

META tag in servlet

Hi guys,
I am having some problem with the <META> tag in a servlet that I
am testing.
What happened is that I can't get the user to be redirect to another
servlet when login is successful.
Can anybody tell me whats wrong?
Thanks.
The code is as below:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String userName = request.getParameter("userName");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
if(login(userName, password)) {
// send cookie to the browser
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
// response.sendRedirect does not work here.
// user a Meta tag to redirect to ContentServlet
out.println("<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=0;URL=ContentServlet>");
else {
sendLoginForm(response, true);

Well since the response.sendRedirect sets the same META tag so if it sendRedirect doesn't work this way won't work either.
I find it hard to believe that the sendRedirect doesn't work. What error or results are you getting when you use it?

Template not updating meta tag info.

I use DW MX on PC w/XP Home OS -- in the event that this info
makes any difference.
I updated meta tag info in a template then applied it to all
the child pages. The changes were not propogated. I've looked over
the info at "Template child pages are not updated when parent
template is changed," from
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=dd83ba8b
I haven't done any of the boo-boos on the list other than to
recreate the cache file (#6) -- to no avail I might add...
Any suggestions?

> Out of curiosity how
do most SE's locate sites/info?
By using links from other sites, or domains that have been
submitted to
them. The former method is MUCH faster than the latter. If I
put a link to
a client site on my site, it's spidered in days/or a few
weeks at most.

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?
Or, read this -

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
