Well, you know what? These search engine people seem to be deliberately
trying to confuse us hillbilly coders.
For instance, here's what I usually drop in on my pages, but always on the
index page:
<META NAME="Robots" CONTENT="ALL,FOLLOW,INDEX">
<META NAME="Revisit-After" CONTENT="30 Days">
<META NAME="Distribution" CONTENT="Global">
<TITLE></TITLE> [max length: 12 words]
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT=""> [max length: 25 words]
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT=""> [max length: 10 words or phrases]
<META NAME="Title" CONTENT=" "> [same as <TITLE> above]
<META NAME="Copyright" CONTENT="©">
<META NAME="Subject" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Language" CONTENT="English">
<META NAME="Designer" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Publisher" CONTENT="">
Now I have no idea whether any of these has any effect at all on the search
engines (some are mysteriously redundant) but I usually get fair results, as
long as I copy and paste strings of characters from the page content into
the appropriate tags. Probably the only three tags that ever did have any
potency were Title, Description and Keywords, but I wouldn't want to bet
anybody anything that any of them still do or don't.
But, like I said, as long as I seem to get results, I'll keep on cluttering
up my header with this kind of trivia.
And looking confused.
