META tags are located in a website's HTML code, and they contain descriptive phrases, keywords and other information. They are one of the ways that search engines determine the point of a particular page within a website. Traditionally, search engines have displayed the META description as part of the search results as they provide the user information on what the site contains. Typically, Google does not use the META tags for this information and it formulates its own description based on the content within the website. Business - Directory of business/finance/loan/mortgage related partner sites Computers - Directory of computer hardware/software/peripheral related partner sites Internet - Directory of webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing related partner sites Software - Directory of software related partner sites Web Design - Directory of web design/development related partner sites Web Hosting - Directory of web hosting related partner sites Web Promotion - Directory of search engine optimization/internet marketing related partner sites Web Resources - Directory of other web related partner sites Recreation - Directory of travel/hotel/cruise related partner sites Casino - Directory of online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette related partner sites Health - Directory of online pharmacy/hospital/health related partner sites Shopping - Directory of online shopping/gift related partner sites Miscellaneous - Directory of all other partner sites
The predictable behavior and structure of early search engines enabled savvy web designers to manipulate the META tags to get their pages to appear at the top of search engine results. Often times this was achieved by filling up the META description and keywords tags with an abundant amount of words. META Tags and Search Engines: Although META tags continue to be useful for smaller search engines, the larger search engines, such as Google, have moved away from giving the META tag information as much importance and instead rely heavily on the content within website pages to determine the purpose and relevance of the site. |
