CS3 templates and meta tag -

Hi,
Just wondering what would be the best way of getting a
description meta
tag in the pages of a templated site. Should it be in the
.dwt file or
in the page itself? What code do search engines see on a
template page?
Thanks for any input.

Your template file needs not be on the server, only on your
development machine - so search engines do not see your
template.
but if you create a template using File | new | Blank
Template it will
typically produce this code:
<!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=utf-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>



</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
you should immediately put the <meta name="Description"
content="put
your description here " />
in the editable region of your template :
<!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=utf-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>


<meta name="Description" content="put your description
here " />

</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
then it can be changed on each and every page - which it
should be of
course

Template layout strategy and meta tags

Hello folks,
Just wanted to start a discussion on different Template
layout strategy and meta tags.
When you put tother a template in DW, do you include the meta
tags as part of the template OR
do you insert the meta tags later in the individual pages
created with the template?
Cheers!

Each page would need its own meta description. You can omit
meta keywords
altogether since they are mostly ignored except in special
circumstances.
When they are read, any impact would be almost insignificant,
anyhow.
So - that would suggest adding the meta description to the
individual child
pages.

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.

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

Apple TV and Meta Tags

Hi,
I am a massive fan of the Apple TV and use it every day. I currently use Subler ( I also have iDentify & MetaZ) to add all the needed tags to my movies, however, I would like the movies to display the appropriate IMDB rating i.e. 8/10 as well.
Is this possible? and if so what software do i need?
Regards

No.
Not possible. I can vaguely see why you might like it but it's not something I'd really expect to be present - however since iTunes these days has those tomato ratings I guess it wouldn't be impossible you might see something like this in the future.
Only way you'd be able to add that would be in the descriptor text for each movie or a similar free text field.

How do I put titles, keywords and meta tags in my website?

I use iWeb 3 and godaddy. I can't get google or any search engine to see me even if I explicitly search for my organizations name. What am I doing wrong. If you go to godaddy, they give you keywords to use and then tell you to go to your website editor and add them and of course I can't. Please help. Thanks.

These screenshots show what Roddy's referring to with SEO:

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 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

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.

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.

Meta Tag Placement in pages created from a template

I am updating a site and want to make sure that I place my meta tags correctly in individual pages created from a template. Can you tell me if my placement is correct?
Below is code I added to my template:
<!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=UTF-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

 
<style type="text/css">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>


<meta name="keywords" content="piano lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons, flute lessons, violin lessons, afterschool performing arts, voice lessons, singing, saxophone, trumpet">
<meta name="description" content="Information about Young Musician Institute's Afternoon Arts Program for piano, guitar, drums, violin, viola, trumpet, saxophone and cello">

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
As usually, Begin and end editable sections are grayed out, and the meta tag names are blue according to my scheme so I think I am doing it correctly, however, I want to be sure before submitting it to google incorrectly. Can you tell me if I am correct?
Thank you

for clarification, are you saying that I could have put them on the line after:
<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>
Yep.
Second, adding these meta tags actually did help the ranking of this company. They were not listed before I did this on their old site. They were on page 1 of their category hours after I did this for them.
I think it's just coincidence. However, for sure it wasn't the keywords that did that, since those are just ignored (the meta keywords contents, not the meta description contents).
what are the search engines looking for? I want to make sure to design with those things in mind.
They are looking for semantic content on the page. That means the contents of tags like <title>, <h1>, <h2>, <h3>. That also means (derived) keywords contained in content 'above the fold', and in filenames, in links, in title and alt attributes. In other words, search engines want to rank your pages based on *real* meaning of the contents of the page, not on some arbitrary listing of keywords that you place in a meta keyword tag.
Search engines also pay lots of attention to INCOMING links from other well ranked sites....

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?

Templates & Meta tags

Hi there,
DW 8.0.2
I use templates for the sites I work with. But, unfortunately
the
meta-tags are locked in a non-editable region. Is there some
way to
change this? I want the meta tags to have key words
specifically to the
page it is on.
Any help will be welcome.
Deon

Any template properly created by DMX or later will have two
editable regions
in the head of the page - one for the title tag (doctitle),
and another for
anything else you want to put there (head). You can place
meta tags,
javascript, or embedded styles in that second editable region
- so that each
page has unique content. Does yours have these regions? If
not, then you
have not made your template properly.
Don't worry too much about meta tags. The keywords are no
longer used by
the major search engines.
