What is meta tag?
A meta tag is a special HTML tag that provides information about a Web page. Unlike normal HTML tags, meta tags do not affect how the page is displayed. Instead, they provide information such as who created the page, how often it is updated, what the page is about, and which keywords represent the page’s content. Many search engines use this information when building their indices.
How to use HTML Meta Tags
What are Meta tags? They are information inserted into the “head” area of your web pages. Information in the head area of your web pages is not seen by those viewing your pages in browsers. Instead, Meta
Information in this area is used to communicate information that a human visitor may not be concerned with. Meta tags, for example, can tell a browser what “character set” to use or whether a web page has self-rated itself in terms of adult content.
Let’s see two common types of meta tags, then we’ll discuss exactly how they are used in more depth.
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Stamp Collecting World</TITLE>
<META name=”description” content=”Everything you wanted to know about stamps, from prices to history.”>
<META name=”keywords” content=”stamps, stamp collecting, stamp history, prices, stamps for sale”>
</HEAD>
In the example above, you can see the beginning of the page’s “head” area as noted by the HEAD tag — it ends at the portion shown as /HEAD.
Meta tags go in between the “opening” and “closing” HEAD tags. Shown in the example is a TITLE tag, then a META DESCRIPTION tag, then a META KEYWORDS tag. Let’s talk about what these do.
