Meta Tag Guidelines
META tags are HTML Tags that describe the contents
of a web page. The primary purpose of Meta tags is to help catalog
and categorize the contents of a web page. If your pages do not
contain them then they may not get categorized the way you'd like
by the search engines.
We recommend that you at least include the 'Description', 'Keyword'
and 'Robots' tags. Also the 'Title' of your page plays an important
role in helping search engines (and visitors) to determine the content
of your site.Only 25% of sites use them, but most search engines
evaluate META tags when they rank your site.
Once you have selected the keywords that really fit your site you
can begin to add them to your page as you build it. Along with using
those key words as the first words within their HTML meta tags,
image tags, heading tags, title tag, text link tags, alt tags and
even the file name of the page itself you need to use them in your
HTML meta tags:
Meta Tags:
Meta tags are between the <head></head> tags in your
HTML. Meta tags are how many of the search engines index your site.
This can determine how you place on the search results when someone
does a keyword search at a search engine. To avoid having your site
end up being ten pages deep in the search result make yourself an

at least have meta tags for your description, keywords and robots.
Your tags should be rich in keywords that relate to your site.
Description Meta Tag:
Everyone agrees that your web pages should contain meta tags. You
will need to customize your meta tags to fit your sites content
to get high rankings in the search engines.

Use lot's of keywords separated by commas for this tag. Example:
affiliate program, make money, top 10, affiliates, associate, referral.

You will need to have a robot tag to tell the robots the visit your
site whether the pages they visit should be indexed and added to
the search engine listings. Your choices for this tag are ALL, FOLLOW,
INDEX, NOINDEX and NOINDEX FOLLOW. For info on web robots.

engines often send a lot of email advertising.
