Metatags provide valuable information for search engines, and can make a big difference in your site getting high rankings. Simply follow the guide below, and we will generate valid metatags for you to use in your site.
DOCTYPEThe document type declaration (DOCTYPE) of a web page decides the rendering mode of most modern web browsers. In turn, the rendering mode determines the browser's interpretation and display of certain web page components.
Select a DOCTYPE:
Character SetA character set meta tag is required for your webpages to validate, and is also important because if a web browser can't detect the character encoding used in a document, visitors may end up with an unreadable page. If you aren't sure which charset tag is right and your site is in English, try iso-8859-1. For a detailed explanation, read the W3C's Character sets & encodings tutorial.
Select a Charset:
Website Language TagThis is one of the less often used meta tags. The W3C very strongly suggests using for accessibility for speech synthesizers and Braille translators (required in the UK). They also say it's important for spelling and grammar tools. To learn more, the W3C's page, Why use the language attribute gives a great amount of helpful information. Please select the actual language(s) your page is written in:
Select a Language:
Webpage or Document Title TagThis is the title that shows at the very top of the browser window and on search engine results. This tag is a very important part of your online promotion, since search engines often weigh this heavily to decide your ranking, it's also what searchers read first to decide whether or not to click your link instead of the others in the search results. The recommended length is not more than 64 characters, and well less if possible. Keep it short and use keywords that are descriptive of the pages contents. Generally the "less is more" approach works well here.
Title Tag:
Meta DescriptionThis is what will often show as your page description in the search results. Again, try to accurately describe the content of the page. Recommended length is no more than 256 characters. Many search engines will show even less. Google for example cuts off the description at around 156 characters, Yahoo and MSN both accept much longer descriptions. A maximum of 150 characters is suggested for this tag. You get one chance to capture the attention of those viewing your description. Pages with powerful titles and a short description can pull in a lot of traffic from search engines if constructed properly.
Enter Your Description:
Meta Keywords TagThe keyword meta tag is no longer used by most search engines, but if you'd like to include it for the few that do, here it is. Try to limit this to a maximum of 20 words or phrases, separated by commas. ie: keyword, key phrase. Again, these should be descriptive words that reflect the content of the page you're adding these meta tags to, not your entire site. Enter keywords and keyword phrases for your Web page. Separate each keyword or keyword phrase by comma and then a space (ie., keyword, keyword phrase, keyword, etc.). A maximum of 874 characters is allowed for this Tag, but we wouldn't recommend you use that many or you can suffer from keyword saturation, or even be labeled as a keyword spammer. Just a few highly targeted keyword phrases will usually do the trick. It is also recommended you only include words here that can also be found in the viewable part of the Web page.
