Information about META Tags
|
|
Meta tags provide information about a given webpage, most often to help search engines categorize them correctly. They are inserted into the HTML document, but are often not directly visible to a user visiting the site. The META information can be broken down into three components, which are:
- Page title
- Keywords
-
Descriptions
The Web Wizard enables you to control the META tags for all pages in one area or you can customize this for each individual page. |
|
Page Title
The page title is shown at the very top border of a web browser and it also know as the "blue title bar" due to its blue color. The three main web browsers are Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.

Keywords
Keywords are single words or short phrases that Internet users use to search for what they are looking for.
Description
A description is a short, one or two sentence description that descibes either the webpage or the website. It is better to customize the description of each web page on a page by page basis and to place an exact description of what a web visitor will learn about that page. The page title (1) and description (2) also appear in search engine results as shown in the search result below. |
