- Meta Tags...

Before you actually submit your site to search engines, be sure to include meta tags in the <HEAD> </HEAD> section of your MAIN PAGE! Do not include meta tags on every page you have, especially not on pages that should not be accessed directly (i.e. individual frame pages etc.).

Meta tags supply search engines and catalogs with information about your site. A search engine cannot find your site if you have not included such meta tags in the HEAD section of your main page!

To add meta tags to your page, please open it in an editor (for example, open it in Notepad) and add the red lines to your code:

<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Title of your page</TITLE> <META NAME="Description" CONTENT="Another great I Dream of Jeannie site"> <META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="Jeannie, Dream, of, I, Barbara, Eden, Larry, Hagman"> </HEAD> <BODY TEXT="#00007E" LINK="#00007E" VLINK="#00007E" ALINK="#00007E" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> This is what people will actually be able to read on your page... </BODY> </HTML>

Of course, you can choose any keywords and any description you like. Further, you can add the following information:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Mozilla/4.5 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.36 i686) [Netscape]"> <META NAME="Author" CONTENT="your name">
This kind of information is optional; especially the GENERATOR tag is not really needed in most cases. If you wish to add an AUTHOR tag, please don't forget to include your own name.
