what is current trend of meta tag

what is current trend of meta tag...

is this correct?

<title>site title</title>
<meta name="description" content="some text." />
<meta name="keywords" content="k1,k2,k3" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="15 Days" />
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="all" />

 

Looks fine

I wouldn't be overly concerned about them though. While it is still good practice to use meta tags, they are really just a throwback to 1st generation Search Engines. Concentrate on good content, semantic markup and lots and lots of backlinks from authority and related sites.

 

Yes, This is correct. You should use it.

 

I never used this in my sites

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

 

only title and description tags are important, rest you can just ignore. keyword tags are ignored by major search engines so you can ingore them too. there is no reason to instruct the robot to revisit after 15 days, if the robot want to make frequent visit, let it be. since you are gonna be doing link building for your site, googlebot and other SE spiders will oftent visit your site so let them come as they wish

 

Well you can use keyword meta tags but be carefull ... extra adding can bring negative result instead of positive.

 

how much cherector or words is good in description for seo ?

 

Your last two meta tags...
<meta name="revisit-after" content="15 Days" />
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="all" />
...should not be there. It is just increasing code unnecessarily.

 

i use just three items:
<meta name="description" content="some text." />
<meta name="keywords" content="k1,k2,k3" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

I think other items is no use!

 

With those tags, the only question you should be asking yourself is What harm could I do using (or abusing) this? If you can't quickly think of any, do it. Those who are quick to say that this or that tag is "useless" or "unneeded" don't typically work for search-engine companies.

Of course, one way to go about things is to look at pages from sites that are important and high-ranking, preferably in competitive slots. Look at the HTML of their pages and see what they do or don't use. But I daresay you'll find a lot of variation. Keep also in mind that not every "big" site is actually well-constructed: sometimes sheer dominance overcomes lousy coding (consider, for example ESPN's site).

The meta tags that I like to use myself are these:

• <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
• <meta name="description" content="This describes this particular page.">
• <meta name="keywords" content="kword1, keyword2, ...">
• <meta name="robots" content="NOODP, NOYDIR">

As to the first, I suggest that you run a sample page through the W3C validator service without then with that tag and see what you see. In fact, you should run every page in your site through a validator, keeping in mind that SEs have a mild repugnance for improperly coded pages.

As to the "description" tag, if it is reasonably short, SEs tend to use it for their description of your page. Check some indexed pages and see how the SERP listing compares with the description. And above all, do not use generic descriptions: make sure each one is individualized to pertain to the particular page on which it appears. Google really does keep track of duplicated "description" tags.

The "keywords" tag may or may not matter much any more, but so long as you aren't a positive pig about it, what harm can including it do? Just keep it to the truly significant terms actually appearing on the particular page.

The "robots" tag supplies a couple of parms that are not automatic for searchbots: NOODP and NOYDIR mean to not use any descriptions of the page found in, respectively, the ODP or Yahoo's directory; such descriptions are quite often nothing you'd want used, which is why you need to craft your own "description" tag with some care. It's exactly what searchers will see as describing your page.

And that's not to say that some other meta tags might not be useful as well. Again, unless there's potential SEO harm--which would only result from abuse of a tag--why not include it?

 

Yeah It's Excellent so use for site...

 

There is always loads of talk about the keyword meta tag being useless, but I see SEO as making sure every little bit is optimized and used correctly and sparingly. Every little helps and it all adds up.

 

you can use that meta tags..

most important meta tags are keywords and description.

so..never forget to include it.
