Search
Engine Optimization (SEO) - Configure
your Web page so search engines can find you, describe and categorize
you and include you in directories and indexes. In the "Head" portion
of your html page are hidden meta tags: text not displayed in
the browser window but readable by search engines as part of
the html document.
Meta
Tags - keywords and descriptions. (META = data
about data)
Keywords META
tag values used by search engines to index and categorize your
page. Many search engines (spiders) limit the number of keywords
you can use. Carefully choose 10-15 keywords at most. Example: <meta
name="keywords" content="puppies, dog food, chew
toys, discount pet food, pet food">
Descriptions
are META tag values used in directories along with the link. Some
search engines will use descriptions to index or categorize your
site. Example: <meta name="description" content="The
galaxies best and cheapest pet chow.">
