Robots Meta Tags

This tag is meant to help webmasters who cannot control the robots.txt file at their sites. It provides a final attempt to keep their certain pages out of search engines and other web utilities to protect sensitive content or "under construction" pages. (Note, as mentioned in a previous article, if you are using a robots.txt file, please ensure that it is not empty. Some bots interpret this NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW for the entire site!
  • INDEX means that robots are able to include this page in search engines.
  • FOLLOW means that robots are able to follow links (spidering).
A value of "NOINDEX" allows links from the page to be spidered, even though the page itself is not indexed. A value of "NOFOLLOW" allows the page to be indexed, but no links from the page are spidered. A value of "NONE" tells the robot to ignore the page.
(e.g.)
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL,NONE,NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW">

default = "ALL"
"NONE" = "NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"

Meta Description Tags

<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Description of your site">

The page description is usually produced along with the page title in the organic results pages (SERPs) of a search engine query. Some search engines use the first few lines of text on a page as a description if this tag is absent, so also ensure that paragraph one of your page is relevant.

As with the Keywords Meta Tag, be careful not to repeat terms too often to avoid rankings being penalized. This tag is not only used for search engine spiders, but also may be the text that appears as a result of an Internet user's search engine query. Here is the challenge - to create a description meta tag that not only is attractive to robots, but also to humans.

Keep your most important terms at the beginning of each description meta tag statement and try to have a different relevant statement for each page of your web site.

It is very important whenever you submit your sites in directory which will be given as the summary of your site in directory search results, similar to that of search engine results.

Meta Keywords tag

< meta name="keywords" content="metatags,keywords,description,definition" >

This should be a comma separated list of relevant words for the search engines to index your page. These words should reflect your site's most important theme. Be careful not to repeat the same keyword too often - 3 occurrences is a safe benchmark and this includes word variations. Some engines perceive heavy repetition to be "spamming the index" if used try to use it keywords with phrases without any grammatical errors in it.

Do not use words that are not relevant to your site. Many search engines will blacklist you if you do. Phrases such as "meta tag definition," are considered one keyword. When surfers enter queries into search engines, they will utilize phrases to help narrow down results. So think about the phrases that you would use if you were looking for subject material such as your site has to offer.

Keep your most important keywords and phrases within the first 100 characters of this statement.

Capitalization is not so much an issue as most Internet users tend to use lowercase text when submitting queries, but it may be a consideration when it comes to locality names. This is a difficult aspect to judge as some search engines do not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase and it is easy to go over the 3 word limit by using such variations.

Some search engine optimization professionals use commas between keywords and keyphrases, but others recommend against this practice as it takes up valuable space. As with a number of search engine optimization topics, this is hotly debated so you may wish to experiment.

Wherever possible, try and use a different keyword statement on each page. Due to black hat techniques the keyword tag was not included by Google it was still used by few search engines. Hence, try to utilize it to a great extent.

Search engine optimization and the meta keywords tag:

Long ago in Internet time, the meta keywords tag was very useful in helping pages to win on search engines. Unfortunately, so many unscrupulous webmasters (black hat seo's) have abused the meta keywords tag that search engines have had to de-emphasize their importance. Still, you should not leave the meta keywords tag off your pages.

Meta keywords tags should adhere to the following guidelines: (1) keep your list of keywords or keyword phrases down to 10 - 15 unique words or phrases; (2) separate the words or phrases using a comma (you do not need to leave a space between words separated by commas); (3) do not repeat words or phrases; (4) put your most important word or phrases at the beginning of your list.

Copyright issues of Meta tags

Remember that Meta tags, like all other material on the Internet is bound by copyright (whether a copyright notice is utilized or not).
Be careful not to copy and paste another persons tags, brand name, trademarks directly into your code without some heavy revising.
People have been prosecuted for doing so when found by the author and if he complaints via DMCA.
In case, if any of the licensed article, registered trademark, content, Images, brand name is used without getting any copyrights or permissions then the webmaster who used these unauthorized items may get punished by the Digital millennium copyright act, when a complaint is received to DMCA by the webmaster of the copyrighted item with enough proofs.

To know more details about the copyright and DMCA: Wikipedia DMCA

Importance of Meta tags

If you aren't utilizing Meta Tags in your web site's pages, you may be missing out on valuable traffic and therefore paying customers!

Meta tags are the sections of your HTML that provide direction and information for search engine robots. To get the best rankings possible in some search engines, be sure to use meta tags in every web page. Meta tags are not viewable to Internet users unless they examine the source code of your pages.

Unfortunately, many site owners abused Meta tags and search engines stopped using them as means of ranking sites for quite a while, but this situation has now changed. Of the tags mentioned below, the most important is the "description" tag.

The process of Meta tag development is half science and half magic, and this document is only a primer. Mathematical formulas are now in common use for developing keyword statements.

There are 4 types of meta-tags –
  • Title - This is the text that appears in the title-bar of your web browser.
  • Description - This is a quick summary of the information on the page.
  • Keywords - These are words that are important in the page
  • Robots - This helps in keeping certain files out of index.
In addition to these uses, we can use Meta tags to Redirect pages and to specify the version of html/xml used.

  • Reciprocal links can be build with those sites which has relative contents.
  • Use PPC services to get indexed since search engine like Yahoo and it's result feeded search engines will index our site quickly once we go for the PPC and paid inclusions.

Bad Seo Ideas

There are certain bad seo ideas which you should not rely on to get traffic or to improve page rank and organic result position in search engines. They are,
  • Do not rely on Meta tags:
Since the black hat seo's played a lot to stuff more and more keywords in the meta tags inorder to get high page ranking and top organic search results the crawlers were updated to avoid the meta keyword tags with keywords stuffed in it.
  • Avoid using hidden text:
Many black hat seo's tried to increase their keyword density by adding hidden text through out the pages inorder to get more reliablity and importance to that page for that keyword but now a days since the search engine algorithms are updated the crawlers or bots will find the hidden text and text such as blue in black background which will disturb the human to view that page, then it will measure the keyword density of that page hence it won't be indexing those pages and declare it as spam resulting in deindexing.
  • Don't try to get paid links to your site:
Never, ever try to get the paid links to your site in order to gain the page importance of your site. Actually the page importance will get increased only when you write unique content automatically people from other blogs gives a link to your article or blog and in the mean time the links from relative pages only gain the page importance again the links from irrelevant pages to your site may declare your site as spam and won't show up in top results more over your site may get deindexed from the search engines.

hence, try to get rid of these bad seo ideas inorder to gain the traffic from search engines.

Blocking Google

If you have pages with secret, private and confidential information which you want to prevent it from indexed by Google, Yahoo, Msn and other major search engines. Then we have no of options to do so, they are as follows,
  • If you want to maintain and keep your confidential data in your server, then you can place them in a password protected directory. Since Google bot and other spiders won't be able to access the files in those protected directories. For eg., If you'reusing Apache Web Server, you can edit your .htaccess file to password-protect the directory on your server. There are a lot of tools on the web that will let you do this easily.
    This is one of simplest and effective way to prevent bots from crawling and indexing all our secret and confidential informations.
  • By using Robots.txt file to control the access to files and directories in your server. The Robot.txt file tells the bots and other crawlers which files and directories in our server should not be crawled. We need root access of our host in order to use the Robot.txt file.
  • We can also use Noindex meta tags to avoid our site single pages from getting indexed from bots and other spiders. The no index meta tag has to be placed in the header portion of the html page.
  • To block images from getting indexed then use, < meta name="robots" content="noimageindex" > in the head of the page.
Though we use Robot.txt file and meta tags to prevent getting listed in search results, The bots will go and find information from directories and other sites linking to our sites and our page title may get indexed and show up in search result. Hence we strongly recommend to use password protected directories in your server to store your private and confidential informations.Thus we can prevent our confidential and secret informations from getting indexed from bots and other search engines.

Working with Images

Images are plays a important role in creating great user experiece.
  • With image search, just as with web search, Google's goal is to provide the best and most relevant search results to our users.
  • Use High quality images at the top of your page to attract visitors.
  • The text embedded in images cannot be crawled or find by the bots. Hence avoid embedding text in images.
  • Name the images properly with informative file names (e.g.) "Gandhi.jpg" instead of "I0001.jpg". Since the crawler will give image results based on the name of the image given.
  • Load all the images related to the site in seperate subfolders while uploading.
  • Give detailed alt attribute for images. Since alt attributes are crawled by the bots and used as a keyword.
  • Provide good context for your images by gathering all relative and unique information about the images in the text area around the image, caption and title for image.
Protecting Images:
We can protect unauthorized use of our images by,
  • By writing a water mark above the image.
  • Add copyright text for your images.
  • Make your images available under license that requires attribution.
  • Provide a HTML snippet that other people can use to embed your image on their page while providing attribution. This snippet can include both the link to the image and a link to the source page on your site.
If you don't want search engines to crawl your images, then use a robots.txt file to block access to your images.

How to build High Ranking Pages

In order to build a high ranking pages,
  • Provide high-quality content on your pages, especially your homepage.
  • Write content for visitors and not for the search engines and crawlers.
  • If your pages contain useful information, their content will attract many visitors and entice webmasters to linkto your site.
  • Make sure that your inbound links do not contains nofollow tags in it.
  • It is must to get and give internal and external links to pages with relative contents only.
  • Try to get links from pages with high page rank.

Things to avoid,
  • Don't stuff your page with too much of keywords since keyword density will lead to spamdexing.Avoid Cloaking and Doorway pages.
  • Block your duplicated pages using robots.txt to avoid crawler to crawl that page.

How Google Works

whenever we search for a query in Google it gives relative and immensive information from web pages matching the search query which searchers did. Hence it is must for an SEO to know, how Google process the query and fetch its relative results (i.e.) Understanding Google is much more important. Let's see how Search Engine works,

All Search Engines do the following process regularly to give the matching and updated results for an search query,

  1. Crawling
  2. Indexing
  3. Search Results
Crawling:
All major search engines has a software program called spiders or bots. which will be sent around the internet and it will be continuously monitoring for new web pages and updates for indexed sites regularly around the internet. In case if the bot finds any new pages or updates it will crawl through them and fetch the pages and all the contents in those pages and add those pages to index.
If the crawler finds any links to other pages in the crawling page then it will add those Url's to the list of pages to crawl.
Major search Engines won't accept payment to crawl your page regularly, hence it is must to update our site regularly to get crawled and indexed.

Indexing:
The crawled pages are stored in huge server in sections or categories, based on the keywords and relative contents which they find in those pages along with the title tags, meta description tag, alt attributes and heading tags in it. It ranks them over there based on their inbound links and also by compiling and comparing those informations found with its relative pages and information in their database fetched earlier by bots from other pages.This entire process is known as Indexing.

Search Results:
The search results are produced as a result of matching information for the search query given by the searcher to the search engine. Generally, all the results will be realted to the search query.
Major search engines gives Related Searches, Spelling Suggestions, and other keywords. These features are designed to help users save time by displaying related terms, common misspellings, and popular queries.

Sitemaps

A sitemap is a page which will contains links to all the pages available in our site.
  • It plays an important role in an seo's perspective/point of view.
  • It helps our visitors to navigate and inform about all the pages through out our site
  • It helps crawlers to crawl all the pages since it links are given in the sitemap which will be followed by the bot and get indexed. Hence all our pages will get indexed.
  • Avoid using rel="nofollow" in the href links in sitemap page.
  • Do stuff proper keywords in the links available at sitemap pages.
Generating Sitemaps:
  • The sitemap.html page can be created by using html language with href links in it and can be added as an additional page to our site.
  • The sitemap.xml file can be prepared and submitted to the search engines to find and index all our pages in the site.
  • It can also be generated using sitemap protocol which is available in lots of sites(third party tools).
  • Google generates sitemap for our site for free of cost using it phython script which can be submitted all major search engines.
  • It can also be a text file "sitemap.txt" in std. UTF-8 encoding format with one url in a line and not more than 50,000 url's in a file. However we can generate and upload "n" no. of text files.
In addtion to these regular sitemaps we can also submit RSS feeds and Pod casts to get indexed and reach our customers and crawlers.you can also create Sitemaps designed to give Google like search engines, information about specialized URLs which includes,
Video Sitemaps
Mobile Sitemaps
News Sitemaps
Code Search Sitemaps

Improving Conversion Rate

The process of turning our visitors into customers will result in the increase of conversion rate. The following tips will help us to improve our conversion rate percentage,
  • Give user friendly navigation in your site.
  • Indicate your site visitors about where they are currently in the site by highlighting.
  • Add "sitemap.html" page to your site. which helps a lot for the visitors in navigating and referring the site.
  • Prefer a short description about the content or artice in the beginning, if they are interested they may gothrought the entire content/article. Since large para at the beginning itself will bore the customers and some of them may also leave the page/site.
  • Give a good and original content and update them regularly.
  • choose proper title and description for your site since it will only show up in search result it should be attractive and gives brief description in short about our site in order to attract the visitors to our site.

    Thus by following these guidelines it will help us to retain our visitors as regular customers. There by increasing the traffic and no of users to our site and thus improving the conversion rate.
