Have You Got a Meta Tag?
Meta tag's are a key ingredient that search engines look for when deciding how to list your web site. You can't see a meta tag while looking at your page. It is a simple code in the HTML behind your page.
Your Meta Tag goes near the top of your page's html between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags. Click the right mouse key (for PC users) on any good web page, then choose "view source," and you will see the HTML code.
The Meta Tag should look something like this:
<META NAME="description" content="Kevin Nunley-One of the Net's top business writers provides lots of tips on marketing, media, on-line marketing, and the Internet."><META NAME="keywords" content="marketing, advertising, ads, internet marketing, press release, copy writing, web site design, small business assistance, newsletters, web site promotion, selling on-line, ezines, home based business opportunities,">
This is the simple Meta Tag I use on my drnunley.com site. Some experts use fancier ones, but this works fine for getting you listed on search engines that emphasize Meta Tags. Feel free to copy it, inserting your own description and keywords.
Here's a trick. Go to a site like yours that ranks tops on search engines. See which keywords they are using in their Meta Tag. Work some of their good ideas into your own Meta Tag.
