Re: Newbie, help w/meta tags From Patrick R at GrowSpot.com on 26 August '00 replying to Newbie, help w/meta tags posted by Donna >Just added my own meta tags to website created w/FrontPage. Totally new at this, please view website & would GRATEFULLY appreciate suggestions with meta tag placements. >http:\\www.cdeacommunity.org >Thanks >dk I'm not a meta tag expert (in fact I'm using deadlock for the meta tags and search-engine placement on my site), but here's what I saw: There are a few problems: 1) Get rid of the extraneous META tags. IE: name="GENERATOR", name="Progold". Spiders don't need this type of info. 2) for the keyword list you have to use this format: <META name="keyords" content="keyword list goes here" and <META name="description" content="description goes here" You seem to have your keyword list both as the name and content, and you don't have a secription tag. Make sure you have these two tags at least, they are the most crucial. Hope this Helps! Patrick
