Dictionary Definition - Meta Tags

By -
Happy Friday all!

To add to Kyle's great and informative post about meta tags I thought I would share with you my theory about adding  page descriptions via the "Page Settings" dialog.

All you need to make note of the dictionary's description of a meta tag, otherwise you will just be dding mindless keywords which, quite frankly, will look and sound like a big fat spam sandwich.

met·a·tag

noun Computers . 

a tag in HTML that is inserted at the top of a Web page chiefly to describe its content and provide keywords for use by search engines.


So, take heed, take time and describe your pages content, but briefly. It really helps if the content of your page is original in the first place, then naturally your meta tag will be more meaningful and visible in searches.

Content is king in SEO and meta tags are often used in search snippets too (aka search results text).

This is a great feature and is something originally asked for by your guardian Google Sites Top Contributors. So, let me know how you go with this new mega exciting new feature!

    Few years ago meta tags were given more importance in SEO and it was one of the reason that used to help to promote your site. But now the thing is changed and it's not given that importance.

    Keywords in the title tag is very misleading when it comes to SEO. Keywords should be in the description and in the content. So I would just forget about stuffing the title with keywords.

RSS Feed for Google Sites!

A Reliable Gadget for Embedding your Feeds I was struggling just weeks ago trying to create a RSS feed that looked decent and accomplished what should be a simple task. This minor update caught me by surprise and I am happy to see it. I was using FeedWind to accomplish a RSS feed through an iframe, that means my html was hosted with a third-party and embedded onto the webpage via Mori79's iframe gadget (search iframe under public gadgets and it is the first one). The Slideshow Option. Not terribly useful, but nice. Anyways, no more iframes, just a customizable, easy to use Google-endorsed gadget. We at Kirksville Web Design have already fully tested out this gadget including the interesting display feature, slideshow. The slideshow only shows the title as a link and a thumbnail. It's not the most useful or aesthetically pleasing, but I'm all for options here. No Transparency Allowed on Hexcode for bg color. Here's the original post below. Enjoy! Better...
