3.] Add your own information inside the quotes…

Example…
——————————–

Notes*1: for best results, select 12 – 15 of the most popular and relevant keywords to that particular page, ideally keyword phrases of 2 to 3 words, separated by a comma. Ensure that the keywords you use are located in the title, description and content of the page. If they are not,
DO NOT add extra words! But, if you did this by accident, the theme of your page will be watered down.

Important: the ordering of keywords plays an important role, make sure you order the keywords in order of importance. The 1st being the most important.

Notes*2: the “Distribution Meta Tag” is used to tell search engines whether the page is global or locally oriented.

Here are some more in – dept infos on the individual “meta names and http-equiv”…
——————————–

Title ~ The title of the web page is perhaps the most important of all meta tags.

Keywords ~ Keywords should be separated by commas, with the more important words listed first.

Description ~ The page description should be less than 200 words.

Author ~ This represents the name of the person who authored the page

Email ~ The contact person’s e-mail address.
Copyright – The copyright year and the name of holder.

Revisit ~ This sets the frequency of a spider’s return.
This can be in days, weeks or months…

<meta name="revisit-after" content="2 Weeks">

Expires ~ The date when the content expires.

<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Wed, 30 Jan 2003 21:29:02 GMT">

Notes: if you don’t want your webpage to expires, please remove the “Expires” tags.

Distribution
- Global ~ Used for major entry points.
- Local ~ Used for local entry points.

<meta name="distribution" content="global">

Notes: The Distribution Meta Tag is used to tell search engines whether the page is global or locally oriented.

Robot ~ Web spiders can be restricted using the following Robot meta tags.
- All ~ Robots may traverse and index the page.
- No Index (noindex)~ Robots may traverse but not index the page.
- No Follow (nofollow) ~ Robots may index the page but not follow it.
- None ~ Robots may neither index nor traverse the page.
- index ~ robots may include this page in search engines.
- follow ~ robots may follow page links to find other pages.

Here is some other codes for robots….
——————————–
- Search results pages should not show “cache” link.

<meta name="robots" content="NOARCHIVE">

- Search results pages should not display the “Open Directory Project (ODP)” title and description for the page.

<meta name="robots" content="NOODP">

Notes: if you want to allow robots to index your pages, follow links and disable open directory project, you can use this codes…

Advice: if you are writing it for an XHTML site, then you’ll need a forward slash + a space to make it validate!
