Should I MetaTag Every Page?
As a Webmaster or an Internet website promoter, it seems that every day you are playing the page views and visitors game. Not a day goes by where you don’t try every little trick, every single technique that you can think of in order to get more people to visit your website. Whether it is advertising via banner ads, buying space in e-mail newsletters, or, sometimes the most tedious task of all, advertising via search engines, you spend countless hours trying to inch that access counter a little higher.
I know… I do the same thing as well :)
One of the many tricks webmasters and promoters use to try to increase page views is Meta tagging
their websites. By placing and tags in webpages,
hopeful webmasters try to give search engines more reasons to give their works higher placements in
search results.
Let’s backtrack… for those who do not know what Meta tagging is, it is the process of singling out
specific keywords and a descriptive phrase that describe one’s website. These tags are placed in the
section of a website and try to guide search engines into indexing a site based on the keywords
placed inside the Meta tags. This means that when someone types a keyword placed in your Meta tags,
search engines may rank your webpage higher in the results screen. Some search engines use these tags,
some don’t, but it’s common knowledge to go ahead and use these tags anyway for those search engines that
do place an emphasis on such text.
