 | Meta tags have become synonymous with SEO, but that's only a small part of what they can do. I've created a list of the most common meta tags, what they are for, and whether or not you should use them. Plus, I've got an article on the HTML tags allowed in Facebook Notes. And last week I was asked how to find out your position in Google, so I wrote an article explaining how. Did you know that I've been writing about HTML, CSS, and Web design since 1997? I have hundreds if not thousands of articles on the site that have just as much relevance today as they did when I first wrote them. You can find them by searching the site, or more simply by browsing my article library. And if you can't find the answer to your question, you can always suggest an article or ask a question in my Web design and HTML forums. | |
There are more meta tags than just keywords and description
Most people, when they think of meta tags, think of the keywords and description meta tag, as though the only reason to have meta data on your web pages is for SEO. But there are many many other meta tags that you can use to provide more information, help your customers, and help search engines. This is a list of many of the meta tags that people use on web pages, what they do, and whether or not you should consider using them.
| Facebook Notes Allow HTML
If you've been on Facebook you probably know that you can post notes for your friends and followers to read. But did you you know that you can use HTML to dress up those notes? Some of the HTML I describe in this tutorial is covered by the WYSIWYG tool included in the notes editor, but not all of it. Learn about how you can dress up your Facebook notes with HTML.
| Finding Your Position in Google Can be Difficult
While there are lots of sites that claim that they can tell you where your page ranks in Google, most of them provide flawed results or are even violating the Google terms of service. So, is there any way to find out how your pages are ranking in search engines?
| Poll: Do you post polls on your websites or blogs?
Obviously, my answer to this poll is "yes", but not everyone does. I find polls to be a great way to generate some interaction with my community. In fact, I have referred to polls as user-generated-content-"lite". This is because polls are easy to answer, don't take a lot of time or energy, and they don't feel as intrusive as other types of content collection can be (like reviews and feedback or comment forms). Someone who might never fill out a comment on a website might be willing to click on a poll response. Vote Now View Results
