The most important HTML tag as all the search engines consider it an important element in their ranking system. Hence a web-page with a keyword in the title tag will rank higher then one with it in the body of the page only.

It is generally used as the title of your page in the search results, which means that this is the first thing a user will see of your page - if it doesn't do anything for them it will be ignored and passed over for another page in the search results.

Description Tag

This is generally displayed to the user in the search results. Hence a good description is more compelling to a user and will generate more interest.

General rules:

Compelling
Interesting
Want to learn more
Would you click on it
Solve something quickly and cheaply

Defines the keywords and/or phrases that apply to your page. These should be seperated by commas in lower case (see-tip: never repeat keywords more than 4 times, and never twice in the same row).

Highlights and documents the copyright status of part or all of the web page. Although it won't stop anyone lifting it, it will notify those that do in a legitimate manner that doing so infringes your conditions of use. Most common use is to document its status and owner (company/organisation etc). A sample text can be inserted for your convenience.

Documents the creative genius behind the web page. At its simplest - your name so that everyone can see you for what you are! Also add your email address or other details if you wish to be contacted.

Useful mechanism for Search Engines to determine the level of access appropriate for the associated web page. However this is more often used in restricted environments of a company Intranet rather then the WWW Internet. The advantage is that search mechanisms and network maintenance activities can be designed to serve the chosen ratings.

Instructions that a Search Engine Spider program (an automated program that is sent to your web site to collect information so that the site can be included in its database index), follows when it visits your web page/site. There are several methods/combinations buit sticking the theses four will produce the same results.

Identifies to search engines and their spiders the expiration date and time of the web page. This is especially useful if you have a fixed period offer or time bound event, as contains information the search engines can use to delete the file from their index database.

A more common use is to align it with the REVISIT TAG to set a revisit date for the search engine spider programmes to return and refresh their index database content.

SYNTAX:

Day,dd MM YYYY hh:mm:ss TZD

where:

Day = First three letters of the day (Mon,Tue,Wed etc)
dd   = two-digit day of month (01 through 31)
MM   = two-digit month (01=January, etc.)
YYYY = four-digit year
hh   = two digits of hour (00 through 23) (am/pm NOT allowed)
mm = two digits of minute (00 through 59)
ss   = two digits of second (00 through 59)
TZD  = time zone designator

If you require to make your contact details know in the web page code (which is indexed by some specialist Search Engines) this is the place to put them. Coupled with the Copyright Tag this gives a complete set of information about the author, useful if a statement such as "...without prior permission from the author" is set down in the Copyright Meta Tag.

General area for author comments about the site. Some major Search Engines take this Tag and use it in their Keyword Weighting algorythms. See-Tip: make use of it and include your primary keywords in it.

The ability to send the user to another address of your choosing. Especially useful when page have moved and you want to keep any established linking from yourself or others. Clicking on a page with this code will forward the user to another page after the amount of specified seconds. A bit like a hyperlink but automatic.

See-Tip: Careful consideration must be made for Search Engines and other indexing Spider programmess. If these visit your Web page they will throw a fit if it suddenly changes to another page during an indexing operation. It is therefore recommended that the minimum setting for a redirect should be 8 seconds - but safer would be 10 seconds. For usability and cross browser compatability, always provide the user with a text link to the forwarding address for older browsers that do no support 'Refresh'.

NOTE: IE only

Page Transition Effects

Page Transition effects can add spice and zest to a web page by using the boxing-in or dissolve effect to give it a "techy" feel. Bringing MS Powerpoint Slide Show effects to the web can be easy with the Page Transistion Generator below.

See-Tip: Always consider the user when they press the browser's back button and have to wait for the transition to occur before they can read your page. In an impatient world this can quickly become an irritant. These Page Transitions will only work for IE 4.0 and above, and only when moving from one page to the next.

Definitions List:

"Transition=0" = "Box in" effect.

"Transition=1" = "Box out" effect.

"Transition=2" = "Circle in" effect.

"Transition=3" = "Circle out" effect.
