The missing tags

Hi! Thanks for visiting. Here you can find blogging tips and free Wordpress themes. You may want to subscribe to RSS feed.

Did you check your site? Or maybe your blog? Well, I’ll have to be honest here, all the themes released here doesn’t have a proper meta tags, you’ll have to work it out yourself. It’s not that I don’t wanna add it in for you, but it’s a subjective tags, you need to understand your own blog and objective in order to add these meta tags in.

Meta tag is one of the tag that most search engines will catch from your site/blog. Meta tags are great significance as they can boost the overall performance of your site/blog. They are useful in enhancing the placement of your site/blog in search engines, hence, it could possibly increase the traffic.

<meta name=”keywords” content=”Search engine keyword” />
<meta name=”description” content=”Your site/blog description” />
<meta name=”Distribution” content=”Global” />
<meta name=”Rating” content=”General/Adult/18SX, choose one” />
<meta name=”author” content=”Your name” />
<meta name=”copyright” content=”Copyright statement” />
<meta name=”robots” content=”All” />
<meta name=”robots” content=”index,follow” />
<meta name=”revisit-after” content=”7 days” />

Let me explain a little bit about the last 3 tags. First two are about search engines robot. As most webmasters know, search engine will call out their “Robot” to your site and catch all the meta tags and pages your site/blog have. “All” means allow all kinda robot. “Index,follow” simply means let those robots went all around your sub-folder/pages, to maximize your pages in search engine. Last one is to command the robot to come again after 7 days or how many days you would like to. For blog, it is recommended for 1 day, assume that you blog everyday.

So, that’s all! Add in all those meta tags and you’re good to go. Need no search engines submission and all the shit that costing money and time ;)

P/S: For blogger XML template, you should use this instead…

<meta name=’keywords’ content=’Search engine keyword’/>
<meta name=’description’ content=’Your site/blog description’/>
<meta name=’Distribution’ content=’Global’/>
<meta name=’Rating’ content=’General/Adult/18SX, choose one’/>
<meta name=’author’ content=’Your name’/>
<meta name=’copyright’ content=’Copyright statement’/>
<meta name=’robots’ content=’All’/>
<meta name=’robots’ content=’index,follow’/>
<meta name=’revisit-after’ content=’7 days’/>

Placed them in between <b:include data=’blog’ name=’all-head-content’/> and <title><data:blog.PageTitle/></title>There’re slightly differences only ;)
