What about META tags?
You probably know about the meta tags that are used to describe and refresh web pages. But did you know that there are dozens of other meta tags? You heard probably that you have to change the meta tag for a better content display.
You can use meta tags to specify information about a HTML document that’s not considered document content or to send special instructions to the browser. This is a list of frequently used meta tags:
- “keywords” - assign a set of keywords to the document.
- “description” - specify a short description of the document/webpage.
- “Content-Type” - specify character encoding information.
- “refresh” - redirect visitors to another page or reload the current document.
- “PICS-Label” - rate content.
- “robots” - instruct Web robots how to index the current document.
Don’t hurry to add all the meta tags to your pages because only some are considering to be according standards.
Your page has attached some keywords and descriptions. Here is how to provide your own descriptions and keywords for search engines to use. All you have to do is place two META tags named “description” and “keywords” between your <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags like in this example:
<HTML> <HEAD> <META NAME="description"CONTENT="Articles and Tutorials to make easier your job as a programmer"> <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="php, asp.net, java, HTML, CSS"> </HEAD> <BODY> <!-- page content--> </BODY> </HTML>
Supposing you have changed your URL you want to automatically redirect your visitors to the new location. Simply put the following HTML tag in-between <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<delay before redirecting>; URL=<URL>">
Here is an example for e better understanding:
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Redirecting</TITLE> <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="10;URL=http://my.newplace.com/"> </HEAD> <BODY> The browser should automatically take you the new address http://my.newplace.com/ in 10 seconds. </BODY> </HTML>
