The best meta tag???

Hey guys, I have seen many different meta tags, but which one is the best???


I too have a forum -- It is gaming related, what's the best meta tag for it? The one for this forum is

 

Hi not clear your question for me.. can you explain more about your query!

 

If you are running a forum then just describe your forum 'what's it is about' in the homepage and head title.

And let Google decide what's best for your forum as a meta.

 

There are too many myths about meta description, for example, Google will display your meta description as you have written, so you will get better CTR from search result, But most of webmaster forgot this Google simply ignore your meta description as per user query. And most of time, user query is not matched with your meta description.

 

Meta Tags = Title and Description , always follow SEO policy like unique content and Character limit.

 

Meta Description
Meta keywords
Meta Title
Meta Geo Location
Og Meta Tag
Meta robots

 

Maybe Meta keywords are not important for Google but if you want to use then put keywords very carefully so can 100% relate to your website content

 

Taking it from the bottom; what does META mean: META mean "referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential" which in turn mean it is "data about the data", in your case information about your forum.

You have a Forum about gaming, i would suggest that you see what your peers are having as Title and Description and develop a Title and description that differentiates your forum from the others.

Unlike others in this forum, I experience google using both my title and description to rank a search result, and there is a very clear synergy between Title, Description, Headings (H1, H2 etc.) and the text on the page and how close the search result are ranked in the end.

Please note google has some guidelines as to how long both title and description can be, and also do remember that titles and description should be unique per page. Do not copy the title and descriptions to other pages as this will damage your ranking of individual pages.

Good luck!

Hi,
Meta keywords & Meta Description are the best meta tags to use in website for better SEO outcomes.

 

Pay most attention to, in order of importance, (1) your title tag and (2) your meta description.

Yes, I realize you can't guarantee that Google will use your meta description, and they may substitute their own. But on my ~450 pages, I find that Google usually uses my meta description. A well-written, catchy description will definitely increase the number of clicks on your link in the search results. So do not let anyone talk you out of the importance (for getting traffic) of having a good meta description.

 

Hi,

There are really so many fables regarding meta-description, as an instance, Google will display your own meta name description because you have written, and that means you're going to get far much better CTR from search results, However, many of webmaster insisted that this Google just dismiss your meta name description according to user query. & a lot of time, the user isn't paired together with your own meta description.

 

(1) I know with 100% certainty that I — and probably most other webpage authors — can describe my page's content and intent better than Google can. And (2) Google is not interested in whether or not their description selection is catchy and invites a click. I know that I can write that copy better than a machine can. I know my page best — I wrote it! So I'll keep on writing my own meta descriptions, and I'll include the keywords and phrases I want searchers to find. That way, at least some of the time it will be my meta descriptions that appear in the search results, not Google's algorithmic guess.
