Mega tags 2

[spriggan2005]

Hello there!

I know meta tags helps the search engines go finding the site. When applying them thru Dreamweaver, is it under: Insert > HTML > Keywords..?? or something else..??

Once I applied them, how do I put them on search engines such as Google, Yahoo! Search, etc...??

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

actually, the meta keyword tag is little more than worthless for SEO with the main search engines.

but the meta description is often used by the main search engines for the text snippet below the title in the SERPs.

and you don't put them on the SEs they find your site from backlinks.

Hey Chris,

What SEO means..?? I'm guessing Search Engines something. I wish I should know how mega tags works but not enough for me to fully understand the full scenario of mega tags.

And the SERPs. What are they..?? How can I get them working thru Dreamweaver..?? I mean what or where to write description of the site thru it.

Cheers! Mark.

SEO = Search Engine Optimisation = how to get results in search engines.

SERPs = Search Engine Results Pages = the pages that show in Google, Yahoo etc when you run a search for something.

meta description,

<meta name="description" content="A short sentence about the page">

meta keywords,

<meta name="keywords" content="keyword, keyword phrase">

just guessing here as I don't use DW to write code for me,
insert -> head -> description
insert -> head -> keywords
