o Title Element - Page Titles
Every html document must have a Title Element in the head section. Some refer to the element as a meta tag (title tag) when it is not. Here is a working example of the title element. <br /> * META Description - Building the Perfect Page - Part III <br /> This section discusses the importance of the META Description Tag. <br /> <br /> <br /> 5. <a href="http://www.seo-sem-tips.com/SEO-Services-Company.html">Robots Text File</a> - robots.txt <br /> The robots.txt file is a set of instructions for visiting robots (spiders) that index the content of your web site pages. For those spiders that obey the file, it provides a map for what they can, and cannot index. <br /> * robots.txt Validation <br /> You should validate your robots.txt file. Enter the full URI to the robots.txt file on your server. The robots.txt file always resides at the root level of your web. <br /> <br /> 6. META Tags - Metadata Elements <br /> The following is a partial list of metadata elements that may be used in the overall site structuring, organization, and search engine marketing strategy. <br /> * META Description Tag <br /> Some search engines will index the META Description Tag found in the <head></head> section of your web pages. <br /> * META Keywords Tag <br /> The META Keywords Tag is where you list keywords and keyword phrases that you've targeted for that specific page. <br /> * META Language Tag <br /> In HTML elements, the language attribute specifies the natural language. This document is mostly concerned with how to specify the primary language(s) (there could be more than one) and the base language (there is only one) in HTML documents. <br /> * META Link Relationship Tag <br /> It is helpful for search results to reference the beginning of the collection of documents in addition to the page hit by the search. You may help search engines by using the link element with rel="start" along with the title attribute. <br /> * rel="nofollow" - Link Relationship Attribute <br /> By adding rel="nofollow" to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink SHOULD NOT be afforded any additional weight or ranking by user agents which perform link analysis upon web pages (e.g. search engines). <br /> <br /> 7. <a href="http://www.seo-sem-tips.com/SEO-Packages.html">Robots META Tag</a> <br /> The Robots META Tag is meant to provide users who cannot upload or control the /robots.txt file at their websites, with a last chance to keep their content out of search engine indexes and services. <br /> * Googlebot Robots META Tag <br /> The Robots META Tag for Googlebot is meant to provide users who cannot upload or control the /robots.txt file at their websites, with a last chance to keep their content out of Google's indexes and services. <br /> * MSNBot Robots META Tag <br /> The Robots META Tag for MSNBot is meant to provide users who cannot upload or control the /robots.txt file at their websites, with a last chance to keep their content out of MSN's indexes and services. <br /> <br /> 8. META Tags Abuse and Misuse - Metadata Structuring and Standards <br /> The SEO Consultants Directory Administrator and Directory Editors were involved in a discussion via email where our interpretation of the Metadata standards are being challenged. <br /> 9. Revisit-After META Tag <br /> The revisit-after META tag is not supported by any major search engines, it never was supported and probably never will be. It was developed for, and supported by, Vancouver Webpages and their local search engine searchBC. <br /> <br /> 10. <a href="http://www.seo-sem-tips.com/seo-company-mumbai.html">DC Dublin Core META Tags</a> - DCMI Dublin Core Metadata Initiative <br /> The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) is an open forum engaged in the development of interoperable online metadata standards that support a broad range of purposes and business models. <br /> <br /> 11. <a href="http://www.seo-sem-tips.com/sem-agency.html">HTML Comments Tag</a> - HTML Markup <br /> There has been a myth that has perpetuated over the years where keywords and keyword phrases listed inside HTML comments tags would add a boost to the overall relevancy of the page. This is not true based on numerous tests we've performed during the years 2002 and 2003. <br /> <br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/12774891770937778071' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/12774891770937778071' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Avanindra</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://avanindraraj.blogspot.com/2009/04/seo-tips-index.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://avanindraraj.blogspot.com/2009/04/seo-tips-index.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2009-04-10T11:31:00-07:00'>11:31 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1787637270'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8374898140351071631&postID=7817081113009671436&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://avanindraraj.blogspot.com/search/label/SEO%20Tips%20Index' rel='tag'>SEO Tips Index</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='comments' id='comments'> <a name='comments'></a> <h4>No comments:</h4> <div id='Blog1_comments-block-wrapper'> <dl class='avatar-comment-indent' id='comments-block'> </dl> </div> <p class='comment-footer'> <div class='comment-form'> <a name='comment-form'></a> <h4 id='comment-post-message'>Post a Comment</h4> <p> </p> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/frame/8374898140351071631?po=7817081113009671436&hl=en&saa=85391&origin=http://avanindraraj.blogspot.com' id='comment-editor-src'></a> <iframe allowtransparency='true' class='blogger-iframe-colorize blogger-comment-from-post' frameborder='0' height='410px' id='comment-editor' name='comment-editor' src='' width='100%'></iframe> <script src='https://www.blogger.com/static/v1/jsbin/1345082660-comment_from_post_iframe.js' type='text/javascript'></script> <script type='text/javascript'> BLOG_CMT_createIframe('https://www.blogger.com/rpc_relay.html'); </script> </div> </p> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'> <span id='blog-pager-newer-link'> <a class='blog-pager-newer-link' href='http://avanindraraj.blogspot.com/2009/04/avanindra-seo-glossary.html' id='Blog1_blog-pager-newer-link' title='Newer Post'>Newer Post</a> </span> <span id='blog-pager-older-link'> <a class='blog-pager-older-link' href='http://avanindraraj.blogspot.com/2009/04/avanindra-guide-to-search-engine.html' id='Blog1_blog-pager-older-link' title='Older Post'>Older Post</a> </span> <a class='home-link' href='http://avanindraraj.blogspot.com/'>Home</a> </div> <div class='clear'></div> <div class='post-feeds'> <div class='feed-links'> Subscribe to: <a class='feed-link' href='http://avanindraraj.blogspot.com/feeds/7817081113009671436/comments/default' target='_blank' type='application/atom+xml'>Post Comments (Atom)</a> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id='footer-wrapper'> <div class='footer section' id='footer'><div class='widget HTML' data-version='1' id='HTML1'> <h2 class='title'>Stat Counter</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <div id="statcounter_image" style="display:inline;"><a class="statcounter" href="http://www.statcounter.com/blogger/" title="blogspot visit counter"><img alt="blogspot visit counter" style="border:none;" src="http://c.statcounter.com/5376190/0/02f6d4e8/1/"/></a></div> </div> <div class='clear'></div> </div><div class='widget BloggerButton' data-version='1' id='BloggerButton1'> <div class='widget-content'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com'><img alt='Powered By Blogger' src='https://www.blogger.com/buttons/blogger-simple-blue.gif'/></a> <div class='clear'></div> </div> </div><div class='widget LinkList' data-version='1' id='LinkList2'> <h2>Avanindra digital marketing agency in Mumbai</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <ul> <li><a href='http://www.avanindra.com/services'>digital marketing agency in Mumbai</a></li> </ul> <div class='clear'></div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div></div> <div id='main-bot'></div> <!-- placeholder for image --> </div> <script type='text/javascript'> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
