Re: meta tags on every page? From Jeff on 26 Sept '00 replying to meta tags on every page? posted by Kern >Hello, >Are Meta tags only listed in the head of your index (or default) page? > Or are they meant to be in the head of every page of your site? >If you put them on every page with this put off the robots? > >Thanks, >Kern By all means use separate key words and titles and description for each page in your site. If I were doing a 500 page site dealing with US Presidents, I would certainly want my Willian H Harrison page to be specifically meta taged to rank high when people look him up. Heck, that's the point of meta tags. Yes you could list every president, his wife, etc in every meta tag. But none of your presidents would rank well in the search engines. On my commerical site, each page's tags are uniquely associated with the products shown on that page. Takes a lot more work, but our SE rankings are excellent. ***put off the robot*** I think that happens VERY rarely and certainly never because tags properly fit the page's subject matter.
