Hey folks, What's the best combination of a meta tag? I have a website selling customized tshirts and other gift items What is the best combination that would work. Also, where does one insert the meta tags exactly? I have my site on wordpress
Avoid repetition of keywords in meta tags and don't over do it. couple of keywords are fine. Make sure those keywords are also in body of page too!
Deopends which meta tags? if you mean the keyword tag then it doesnt really matter as Google doesnt really pay any attention to it Title tag should be informative and makes the user want to click, try and get the relevant keyphrase in their aswell but dont stuff it The description should just basically tell Google and the user what that exact page is about, keep the description between 120 and 160 characters if possible aswell
I would check out the wordpress page on this subject answers almost all your questions... http://codex.wordpress.org/Meta_Tags_in_WordPress To add meta tags to your site, simply add them to the header.php template file in your WordPress Theme, specifically in the head section near the link for the style sheet. At the top you will see the DOCTYPE tag and below that you will see a couple more tags and then the <title> tag, looking something like this: <title /><?php bloginfo('name'); ? /><?php wp_title(); ? /></title />
I would first google for a keyword and then check the meta data of few top sites and see how are they ranked on top.
Meta tags include the Keyword and the Description tag. The keywords in the "keyword" tag are useful only if they appear in the body text. Most search engines ignore irrelevant keywords, so make sure you mention relevant ones. It's better to restrict the number of words in the Description tag to 10-15 words. Place the most important phrases at the start of the description. The Title tag is a separate tag and it is placed before Meta tags.
You rally only need the title and description but I always add the keyword to keep track of what I am targting.
Meta keyword and meta description aren't as important as the "title page", even if you don't have a meta description, search engines will get a full description of your page. Do not re-use a keyword more than 3-5 times in your meta keyword, and do not put too many keywords in there either. You should worry less about meta keyword/description. They aren't important no more.
title tag has 60 to 75 character description tag has 200 to 250 character and key words should 250 to 350 character longs. it's the guideline meta tag for Google.
I would like to correct maseter.seo12 title tag 60 character for google and 120 character msn (MAx. limit) descritption 160 for google bcoz it does not show it more them 160 character. keywords max 200 character and following guideline will help is a lot in long term.
Target 2 main keyword and if you doing business in particular area than also include area name. make max 58 character in title. use your title keyword in description and make description max 152 character. Important: Used keyword in Meta title and description should be Need in Content it will be more benefited....
