It depends - if you like to optimize for google meta tags are ignored by google crawler. In yahoo or others search engines the meta tags are visible.
SEO is the most important thing to make a good position in search engines. I prefer web gold - it make a good position in google. Page rank is only a one factor from many. Tomecki
well of course meta tags help, otherwise there won't be any meta tags!
Meta tags are not ignored by Google. It doesn't display the actual tags and their values in its index, but it doesn't ignore them either.
QUOTE(tomecki @ Aug 15 2004, 07:36 AM) SEO is the most important thing to make a good position in search engines. I prefer web gold - it make a good position in google. Page rank is only a one factor from many. What does SEO stands for? Search engine .... What do you mean with "web gold"?. I thought that the criteria for Google was incoming links, outgoing links and meta-tags. Aren't they? use to monitor their site rankings in a multitude of search engines. just try to google the app for more details. metatags are useful for ANY search engine bot, so dont neglect it in your web pages. one tip to enhance SEO: use ALT in your images when appropriate. EXAMPLE: QUOTE <img src='http://www.trap17.com/forums//style_images/1/logo4.gif' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /> don't just place a crappy ALT description... think of something that will be REALLY descriptive of your page. example: if you have a FORUMS image, don't just put alt='Forums'. try, alt='Forums discussing the merits of meta tags and other methods in search engine optimization'. a search engine bot crawling your pages would glean more info on your pages from the latter example than the first. these hidden codes beneath the web interface you see in the browser can raise your rankings in search engines.  (of course, every search engine algorithm differs, but it will help in most cases). and that's just one tip.  more later if i can still remember them
Also, does it not take <title> tags into account?
Just like why we have "Trap17.com -> Quoting a Post in are meta tags really good for SEO? - Trap 17" That's obviously why Google Spiders index each and every page.
you are correct there zenchi
btw, just remembered that a DOMAIN NAME does a great deal in giving your site good search engine rankings. if you search for "screensavers" for example, the search engine will spit out the most relevant sites/pages first -- that being the domain bearing a name nearest to the word searched. so choosing a good domain/subdomain name helps a lot in SEO and search engine rankings. choose well.

I think everyone should use the ALT attribute. However i did not know about its important with Search Engines. Another question: What meta-Tags are important in a Web site? I use already the Meta "keywords" and "description". Which do you use? Thanks for the information. Latest Entries

as far as i can gather it's a combination of a few thing which help your serps. meta tags on their own won't get you anywhere, but if your keywords are placed carefully throughout your page at the right density without spamming then you're getting somewhere. then you start the laborious task of finding link partners and getting backlinks to your site with your most important keywords. it's fairly simple but also fairly time consuming.
if you want to check your site out for all this crap go to seo doctor(do a google search for it) QUOTE(pawoodster @ Sep 1 2004, 06:39 PM) You need good keyword density, plenty of backlinks and good content. Why do you think blogs are so popular in google searches? Meta tags are easy enough to put into a site and are probably worth the 10 mins spent putting them there. The robots.txt tag is fairly handy as it tells the spider how often and where to visit. i have always done that and i have ensured that i include the robots.txt tag in my website tags. i never knew those help at all. now that i know, i will always ensure that i add them in any site i design
