What are Meta Tags and why
are these required?
Meta Tags are combination of keywords and Description. They
are code in your HTML that is invisible to the guests of your web
site but are read by some web spiders and search engines to know
what keywords you are trying to focus on. A search engine will read
the Keywords of your web site to know "on
searching what keywords you would like your web site to be shown"
A description means, how search engine should describe
your web site once its searched with your desired keyword. Meta
Tags are the first step in optimization of your web site. If you
are a Medialinkers web design service client, the meta tags would
be asked to you during the final development stage of your web site
Placing meta tags is part of all packages of Medialinkers web design
service.
Facts about Meta Tags:
Meta tags have never been a guaranteed way to gain a top ranking
on crawler-based search engines. Most of the serch engines now give
a very little importance to keywords and descriptions and rather
see what type of content your website actually has got for users
and how many links your website receives from other websites.
Keywords: For optimal results we suggest a keywords tag sized
between 300 and 500 characters. Note that the keywords should be
separated with commas rather than spaces. example: Medialinkers
web design service will have following meta tags: "web design,
web development, web site designer, Ecommerce, hosting, affordable
web design....." Click

Description: For optimal results we suggest to have description
between 150 and 200 characters. Try to include as many keywords
in your description as you can Example: Medialinkers web design
service description would be like: "Providing affordable and
professional web design service, no hidden or monthly charges,
hosting, Ecommerce and free maintenance" Click

Remember:
 |
Each keywords should be found on the
page at least 3 times and no more than 30 times. |
 |
One keyword should not be repeated above three
times on a single line. |
