Placing meta tags possible in iWeb?

If you are publishing your website to a host other than .Mac - is one able to place in meta tags for each page?
And If so...how?
Is one able to place in a hit counter? And if so...how?
Thanks, Neal

Publish your site to a local folder and add tags using the freeware iWeb SEO Tool. One you have done this and published, subsequent publishing only needs the tags refreshed.

  • 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>
      <!-- placeholder for header section -->
      <!-- placeholder for content section -->
      <!-- placeholder for footer section -->
      </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

  • Collaborative blogging and meta tags

    are collaborative blogging and the use of meta tags supported by iWeb?

    Welcome to the discussions, RockRichard.
    No, collaborative blogging and meta tags are not supported by iWeb.

  • Meta Tags:  How to Paste into iWeb pages?

    I created Meta Tags on Go Daddy. I'm not really sure what Meta Tags are, but I understand they help my web site with keywords and search engines. Here's the Meta Tag codes I created (appears to be three codes).
    <title>Dana Point Bodycentre for gift certificates massage skin care body treatments</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Dana Point Bodycentre offers gift certificates, gift centre, day spa services for massage, skin care, body care, body treatments, medical skin care, botox, laser hair removal, med spa services and specials">
    <meta name="keywords" content="Dana Point, Bodycentre, massage, skin care, gift ideas, gift certificates, gift centre, holiday, specials, book online, instant gift certificates, botox, medical skin care, laser hair removal, med spa, therapist, boutique, retail">
    Go Daddy says to "paste the Meta Tag into the Header of my page." I don't understand what they mean by that. I asked them for more help, but they won't help me any further. I need to know exactly where to paste these codes? I created these codes for my Home page, so I suppose the codes go into the .HTML file, or the .file for the web folder. But where? On the .HTML file, when I open it up in Text Wrangler, I see a lengthy text of codes. Where do I paste these codes? And what is the "header" of my page mean?

    NOTE 1: about Meta-Tags and Search engine optimization:
    Some time ago you could "feed" search engines with words by putting them in the meta tags. Nowadays search engines ignore those tags (probably due to spamming) and only look at the content.
    I never did any Meta Tags and it seems to me that my site works fine without Meta Tags on google... Google include PageTitle and PageContent and it works great without any optimisation. Another issue with Meta Tags on iWeb now is that if I publish to a folder I can add MetaTags with text editor but next time I publish to a folder iWeb will overwrite that file and Meta Tags are gone... I then would have to make them all over again... Time... Time... Time...
    Bottom line: I see no need for Meta Tags
    But people reading this... You're free to decide by your own... it's up to you...
    *5 TIPS:*
    -Update your sitemaps
    -Make a second nav bar made of text links as previously explained
    -Further use synonyms in your content. Write your content so that it fits as good as possible everything a 'googler' could search for.
    -Search engines don't look for tags, they look for the content of your pages.
    -In the end it’s all about three things: Content, Content and Content

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to find the meta tags used in a different website?

    I have a potential client that wants to know the meta tags used in a different site from his own. Is that possible?

    View page source in browser.  FYI: Major search engines don't pay attention to Meta keywords.  So I don't think there's much to be gained from this.  What matters most is the actual page content.

  • Using Web Widgets in iWeb to Create meta tags???

    I am using iWeb '08 version 2.0.3
    There is a feature in iWeb 08 to add HTML snippets (when you click on the button at the bottom "Web Widgets".
    I have added some Meta tags on each of my pages, for example (my keywords & descriptions have different content, this is an example):
    <META NAME="Description" CONTENT="this is my description">
    <META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="these are my keywords">
    <title>this is my title</title>
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
    <meta name="GOOGLEBOT" content="INDEX, FOLLOW">
    I published to a folder, then pushed the code out to my site. When I view the source code, I do not see any of these tags on any of my pages (I put this on all of my pages).
    My question is why is this not showing up? I can certainly add this content via dreamweaver, but that would be a pain as every time I update my site, I would have to publish to a folder and then, in dreamweaver, put the code out there again on each page. What a pain in the a*@!
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Because whatever you add to HTML Snippet is actually added to another page called widget#_markup.html .
    iWeb then link this widget#_markup page to the main page with a iframe, this is the same reason why google analytics javascript and statcounter javascript don't track correctly when add in HTML Snippet.
    You better off using some scriptable applications or AppleScript to do post editing.

  • 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.

  • Which Domain Forwarding sites offer meta tags?

    I am soon going to publish my website through .mac with iweb. I have some expirience with webdesign in the past and I know that .mac does not have meta tag implementation.
    That being said I know some domain forwarding cann allow you to implement keywords and meta tags into the forwarding url. In the past I know .co.nr the free domain forwarding site allows this. that way when you searched for thissite.co.nr the keywords and description you entered would be displayed. I am not sure if other places allow for this same sort of meta tag placement for domain forwarding. This would really help with overcoming the issue with meta-tags in iWeb if possible.
    Does anyone know what domain sites offer this sort of feature? Does Godaddy.com?

    newmacguru,
    The situation is a little bit different with masked Domain Forwarding. The meta-information is placed into the frames code which is responsible for the masking. Since this code is generated by the domain forwarding setup, it is not available for editing like other iWeb HTML files. Futhermore, with a masked Domain Forwarding setup, search engines that find the domain URL only see the frames code and whatever meta-information is contained in the frames code. So even if you add meta-information to the iWeb HTML pages behind the masking domain name, the search engines will never see it.
    This is one major downside to using masked domain forwarding.

  • 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.

  • 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
    http://www.want2takecredit.com

    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.

  • 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!
