TNT Web Design Meta Tag Generator Appropriate use of Meta Tags should really help to get your web site noticed by the Search Engines. A Search Engine will generally consist of a large number of extremely powerful servers running software that is custom designed for its purpose. This software will 'spider' the Web. That is, it will catalogue web sites. Once catalogued, the web sites pages are spidered every so often afterwards, by that and other Search Engines. Serious web sites spend a lot of money and effort getting premium placement in the search engines. One of the most popular ways that Search Engines index your site is to look for Meta tags in the of your page.AltaVista and similar spidering Engines will, in the absence of any other information, index all the words in your document. They will also generally use the first few words as a descriptive line to list in the search results. Using Meta Tags, we can specify which of the words is to act as a 'keyword' ie. a significant word that the Search Engine should catalogue. Note that not all Search Engines use Meta Tags and a balanced approach should be taken, covering as many bases as possible. There are several groups of Meta tags supported by this tool, the two main groups being: HTTP-EQUIV and NAME. Meta HTTP-EQUIV are the equivalent of HTTP headers (the information passed between server and browser when page requests are made). They usually control or direct the actions of web browsers and are used to refine the information provided in the actual headers. Meta NAME types do not correspond to HTTP headers. In particular, the description and keywords tags are interpreted by search engine agents (worms and robots). Inclusion of these tags can improve the ranking of a web site. You can restrict the movements of standard-compliant search engine agents by utilising the NAME attribute ROBOTS. Caching/redirect controls include the Expires, Pragma and Refresh tags.
