WHAT DO THE META TAGS LOOK LIKE?

You can add following in the head section of the web page:

 name="keywords" 
         content="KEYWORD1 KEYWORD2 KEYPHRASE1 etc. 
         about 30 to 40 unique words">
 name="description" 
         content="An accurate, keyword-rich description 
         about 150 characters">

META DESCRIPTION TAG TIPS:

There are few important tips for good meta description tags:

• Use keywords in your meta description tag.
• Try not to repeat the words overly often, but try to use multiple syntaxes of your key words.
• There should not be more than 150 characters in a description meta tag of a single web page.
• Use a different meta description tag for each page, as each page is different and stands a better chance of being found if you place a good title and description on it.

META KEYWORDS TAG TIPS:

There are few important tips for good meta keywords tags. Please refer to previous chapter on identifying good keyword.

• Use unique keywords.
• No need to repeat any given phrase.

ROBOTS META TAG:

The important Meta Tag that you may need sometime is the Robots Meta Tag which looks like this:
