Meta tags how should they be used? I was told they don’t matter anymore? At least for ranking in Google anyway but this doesn’t seem to be the case and here is why I say say that.
I have proof that some of my pages a ranking very well and it’s because of my proper use of meta tag seo. Everyone wants their web pages and blog post to rank well and it seems every SEO Company and their dog is promising expensive first page rankings.
Fact is I will explain how Meta Tags can help you get there for FREE.
Let’s jump right to it…First let me explain in the quickest few sentences know to man what meta tags do for your page.
What Are Meta Tags?
Meta Tags tell search engines and visitors what your page is about. Although this may not be the only way how you are found, learning basic meta tags how to’s can help. The proper HTML Meta Tags look like this,
Meta Tags How
As an example, whatever text you place in the title tag (between the <TITLE> and </TITLE> portions as shown in the example) will appear at the very top of the web page browser. Creating very descriptive titles using key words will help the search engines find you.
Meta Title Tags At The Top Of Web Page
Now days you don’t have to write HTML like we did back in the early 90′s to create a website as there are a ton of software out there that can do it for you. Most web hosting plans come with website builders in them that walk you through the website creation process with drag a drop features or WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). The main thing is you know that you do still need meta. Note if you do not create Meta yourself browsers such Internet explorer will create them for you based on the content of the page. It is always better to control what search engine and visitors see yourself.
Basic Met Tags How To’s
One of the most important factors in how a search engine may decide to rank your web page is the meta that you use. All major search engine spiders (crawlers) will use the text of your title tag as the text they use for the title of your page in your listings so you will want to follow these few tips on Meta Tags How to’s.
- Make your title tags descriptive and relevant to your page content.
- Title tags should not be longer than 6 words
- Always use keywords in the meta title
- Meta description should never be longer than 22 words or 160 characters
- Meta keywords should only be around 8 keywords and try not to repeat the more than 3 times. As an example: Meta Tags How, Meta Tags How To, How to use Meta Tags. As you can see I have used the key word Meta Tags three time in a row.
As I mentioned earlier I have used meta on all my pages and some of these pages rank on the first page of Google for the key words I have selected. Here’s the proof,
I bought a domain name strictly for the fact I did not want anyone else taking it on me. I copied the exact same content for my web pages from my Affiliates web pages. The only thing I did different was that I optimized the Meta tags as listed above. This website has no backlinks at all and ranks higher than my affiliates main site that has been on the internet for years. My site has affiliate links to my affiliates main site and I now make around $4000 a month and I have not touched it since I created it. So when you read that meta is not required any longer I beg to differ.
One thing I would certainly recommend besides the meta tag how to’s is that you read how to use proper design seo to get better page rankings.
