Meta elements are the HTML or XHTML <meta … > element used to provide structured metadata about a Web page . Multiple elements are often used on the same page: the element is the same, but its attributes are different. Meta elements can be used to specify page description, keywords and any other metadata not provided through the other head elements and attributes.

The default values are now assumed to be INDEX, FOLLOW, ARCHIVE, ODP, SNIPPET and YDIR. There is no actual need to include these, unless someone on your internal web team needs reminding. These values are usually combined into one line for all robots.

The more information you give us, the better your search result snippet can be. With rich snippets, webmasters with sites containing structured content—such as review sites or business listings—can label their content to make it clear that each labeled piece of text represents a certain type of data: for example, a restaurant name, an address, or a rating.

What are meta tags? The Meta tag in html is not a required tag when you're creating your web pages; many pages don't use the tag at all, and I must confess that I've not used it on my home page, although I put it into this page by way of demonstration. To put it briefly, the meta tag is used by search engines to allow them to more accurately list your site in their indexes. Sometimes. If you simply produce your home page and register the URL with a search engine, or a number of search engines, their spider programmes will (eventually) toddle along to your site to index it.

Choosing Keywords: Finding a Niche There is much much more to crafting a marketing strategy for your private practice than handling search engines efficiently; but when it comes to handling search engines efficiently, there can hardly be a more crucial task than choosing keywords appropriately. The job of choosing keywords is all about discovering a way for your potential clients/customers to find you .
