site check - META tags
Kevin
make sure I am going this meta thing correctly. I put a description in and a
key word and want to make sure I did it right before I start marketing my
website.
The description is: A great site to buy original Japanese hanging scrolls
from Japan
My one keyword is: Japanese art
Could someone in the know, check out my site:
http://www.yoursourceinjapan.com/
And let me know if these meta tags are in the correct place and that they
will in fact get my site better exposure??
I appreciate any help - thanks in advance.

No your keyword line is not right!
Look at this tutorial. It will help a lot. You can also use several
keywords.

Here's a couple links to pages that have lots of Meta Tag information:
http://html.miningco.com/compute/html/msubmeta.htm
http://searchenginewatch.internet.com/webmasters/meta.html
You should also find areas within these pages that can help you evaluate
your tags or help you to build new ones.
I think you should use more keywords and repeat them as often as possible in
your text.

YOU will have which Keywords are relevant.
YOU will also have to ADD a TITLE and DESCRIPTION

How So ?
The only thing peculiar about the lines I provided are the keywords
generated which the user must decide on, the reference to John Doe which
would be his own name, and definite description of his own pages, which he
must provide.

Hello Steve,
I have provided many links below for meta tag
information. I did not scrutinize these for today's relevancy. I had them
saved in a folder previously.
There is no clear definition on leaving spaces. There are suggestions.
Should you have a tedious amount of keywords to be used than,
spaces would use unnecessary space perhaps thereby limiting the use of some
necessary keywords.
I believe the suggested limit on keywords is 877 characters.
There are few spiders or search engines concentrating their efforts on
keywords.
One that immediately comes to mind that uses keywords is NBCI.
Most other spiders and search engines tend to concentrate on DESCRIPTION.
It has taken me some time to both learn and benefit the use of spiders
visiting my website. www.mi-harness.com
My site is pretty specific with a narrow market.
First it is about horses. Next standardbreds. Next harness. Next folks NOT
generally interested gambling. In addition my site has sub-folders which
contain different interests.
Many of these have been utilized by both spiders and search engines.
In summary it comes down to watching your logs and maximizing your effort to
use what ever tools and knowledge you can to gain links. Definitely not for
the timid.
For those that cannot resist being confused

My understanding is that commas aren't necessary! By inserting a comma/s you
are breaking up possible strings which otherwise may be picked up by the
spiders.
>Should you have a tedious amount of keywords to be used than,

characters.<
I wouldn't even use half that. For example, note your tenth keyword or
phrase, from any page on your site, search for it on google or another
engine that you know at least indexes your home page. Does your site show in
the top 30 results? no it doesn't, unless you specialise in "raw quails eggs
stuffed with haggis". If you use over twelve keywords you effectively
decrease the value of the most important first twelve words in your list,
each one gaining a spam-dexing penalty.
Most of the top engines that use keywords (its likely there are more than
those that state they do) only index 3 keywords, some five, I don't know any
that index more than 5, except google.
>>There are few spiders or search engines concentrating their efforts on

I know everyone is talking about this, the move away from keywords, but my
stats show this hasn't happen yet. Actions speak louder than words. Don't
believe what you read on the engine help/submit pages. The fact is that they
don't want you to know how there technology works.
>>Most other spiders and search engines tend to concentrate on
DESCRIPTION.<<
The title tag is still no.1, and keywords on the page that are reflected in
the title tag no.2, I don't see where the DES. tag comes in to play as we
are supposedly not to repeat words in the title tag in the DES. tag :-/
Who knows, may be I'm stuck in the mud :)

I've discussed this extensively in alt.webmasters and
alt.html.
Since there really is no clear definition on what spiders do as a whole ? It
does make for some interesting discussion and exploring for URL's to expand
our capability.
In summary as I said previously ? We each use what proves most effective
for us individually. :-)
I know previously I submitted a lengthy explanation. I have always despised
tearing part emails by line :-( Instead I'll pose some questions to you ?
1) Take a look at this page ( which I could easily add another 3000 names
to ) and suggest how I might get the INDIVIDUAL names to be spidered ?
http://www.mi-harness.com/SBreds/Memorial.htm
in addition I could add sub-pages to many of these names.
2) If you use NBCI and try searches from data on the following page (which
BTW is quite unique) http://www.mi-harness.com/SBreds/Books.htm
you will get some amazing results off of the hundreds of keywords used. I
don't recall at the moment what spider NBCI is using. However as a general
statement most search engines are only using a few spiders. It puzzles me
why the same spider compiling results for different search engines can
cultivate different links for each specific search engine :-) Too bad we
can't see their algorithms (sp?)
3) The tag title has given me #1 at Google for this page.
http://www.mi-harness.com/brf/
As a result, I'm currently working on my other titles to benefit my pages.

Not sure what you mean, do you mean indexed rather than spidered? If the
words are on the page they will get spidered ONE day. I'd definitely split
the page, creating more pages, a-d, e-h, and so on. Then stuff your keywords
to the max ;-) Some times it's worth doing it that way, particularly if
your content is unique.

Okay that's great, unique is best, and if it works don't change it. But what
about all the other top engines? A long list of keywords like that will not
do you any favours on many of the other engines as they will penalise your
page/keyword set. However, you may get away with it if your content is
unique or rare.

Thanks for the comment :-)
I have considered dividing the page for some time. I have really done any
mass editing on in since inception. Except to make sure the names were
specified in accordance with obituary procedures.
I have many many more names to add. Not sure when I'll get to it. I guess
the deceased get low priority :-(
That book page gets an unusual number of hits. I don't believe there is
another like it on the web. It is primarily about book of standardbred
(harness) horse content. It does fill a void :-)
