Meta Tags are very important for your website's visibility. Many search engines read them and use them when your website is listed in their indexes. The form here is meant to take a lot of the guesswork out of writing your Meta Tags.
To use the Meta Tag Generator, simply type your web page meta information into the appropriate fields, and when you are finished, click on the Create Meta Tags buttom at the bottom. Your new Meta Tags will appear in the text box provided. Copy your new Meta Tags and paste them between the *Head tags, located in the html code in the top portion of your page and that's it.
Meta elements are the HTML or XHTML meta element used to provide structured metadata about a Web page. Multiple elements are often used on the same page: the element is the same, but its attributes are different. Meta elements can be used to specify page description, keywords and any other metadata not provided through the other head elements and attributes.
The meta element has two uses: either to emulate the use of the HTTP response header, or to embed additional metadata within the HTML document.
With HTML up to and including HTML 4.01 and XHTML, there were four valid attributes: content, http-equiv, name and scheme. Under HTML 5 there are now five valid attributes: charset having been added. http-equiv is used to emulate the HTTP header. name to embed metadata. The value of the statement, in either case, is contained in the content attribute, which is the only required attribute unless charset is given. charset is used to indicate the character set of the document, and is available in HTML5.
Such elements must be placed as tags in the head section of an HTML or XHTML document.
Meta tags, in and of themselves, are not the end-all to boosting your site to the top of all search page listings. They are a tool that will help improve your standings in the search engines that use them. Use Meta Tags along with other Search Engine Optimizing (SEO) strategies to garner more page views.
Web search engines look at the body of text on your pages, as well as the Page Title and other related Metadata. Be sure to always have a relevant title on your pages, and relevant content in the body of those pages.
