META Tags On WebsitesMETA Tags are not visible to visitors; they are HTML components originally designed to tell the search engines what the page was about and what keywords were important for the page. The HTML code looks something like this…
<title>Handcrafted Cedar Log Homes of Vermont</title> <meta name="description" content="This is the description of this page" /> <meta name="keywords" content="keywords for this page" /> Google ignores META Tags with the exception of the title tag. Consequently many webmasters omit them. However, some search engines still utilize these tags so we still recommend that you continue to use them. Having them in your code will not hurt anything, and without them you could be missing some traffic. META Tags are not a place to cram keywords or ‘spam’ your message to the search engines and there is even a recommended character length. Title - 60 to 70 characters Description - 150 to 200 characters Keywords - 256 characters. Images on Websites
