After reading through these forums the last few days I relized how important it was to have these. So I decided to put some code together tonight to add to my site but before I do it how does this look? do i have too many tags? not enough? did i even do the code right?? take a look <html> <head> <title>©RacingTrader.ca - Canada's Racing Marketplace - Home</title> <meta name="keywords" content="Autocross Solo, Circle Track, Dirt Racing, Drag Racing, Off Road, Rally, Road Racing, Vintage, Hot Rod, Street Rod Custom, Karting, Circle Track, Road Racing, Open Wheel, Racing Apparel, Racing Collectables, racing services, radio control racing, safety equipment, snowmobiles, domestic, foreign, ticket packages, tires, wheels, tools, equipment, trailers, transporters, drag racing, racing, racing classifieds, race cars, race cars for sale, buy race cars, sell race cars, sprint cars, used parts, trailers, dirt racing, nascar, nhra, monster trucks, cars, flag2flag, flag2flag.com, snowmobiles, pistons, engine parts, camaros, mustangs, racing junk, racingjunk.com"> <meta name="description" content=" Canada's Racing Marketplace Racingtrader is free to join & you can post an ad for free!"> <meta name="robots" content="ALL"> <meta name="distribution" content="global"> <meta name="design-by" content="http://www.racingtrader.ca "> <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <meta name="pagerank�" content="10"></meta> <meta name="googlebot" content="all, index, follow"></meta> <meta name="alexa" content="100"></meta> <meta name="abstract" content="Canada Racing Classifieds"></meta> <meta name="distribution" CONTENT="Global"> Helpfull replys get +rep
It looks good but slim down the keywords that make a the most of your pages. Just seems that you have about every word you can. Do a search on the words them self (oveture) or my webmaster tools and see which are "Medium words" or highly used words. I bet you find a nitch if you can stay away from the MASSES vs something you can really narrow in on. Again great start .. Tk
Well, but I think better to use meta tags, google still care about this; http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/12/answering-more-popular-picks-meta-tags.html
If you go to Google Webmaster Tools: Diagnostics > Content Analysis There you will see a report of any problems with your Title Tags or Meta Descriptions or Non-indexable content issues For instance, missing title tags, duplicate title tags, long title tags, short title tags.
thats why I'm asking for some ideas.. first time trying to create them. what do you think should be there
There's just too many meta keywords, you will need to restrict the number of charecters under the meta keywords tab to 50 - 75
Thats way too many meta tags. I would limit to Description and Keywords. And like other said, just have a few select keywords in the keyword tag.
I would just make a meta description and keyword tag (plus title obviously). They need to be unique for EACH PAGE Also - lose the keyword stuffing - 6 or 7 keywords for each page or not at all (Google ignores them but Yahoo still uses them a bit)
The only tags that really matter is Title, Description and Robot. Your keywords are not important if you don't use them in your body text anyway... You can find a lot of articles about these tags, bec bloggers need something to write about, and it is not easy to find something *new*.
you should lengthen your title just a little to include more of your keywords. and take the word "home" out.
