Getting your website on the list of related searches for Google is a good start. But would people actually navigate to the 57th page to find yours? The answer is very unlikely. Therefore, you need to optimize your search results to show your website. The key is CONTENT The more content you have on your website, the more information google and the others can gather to help place your website in different related categories. Google ranks the pages found primarily on the signifcance of the content related to the search and the traffic ammount. The websites with more traffic get more people to their websites from search engines because they are higher on the list. Meta Tags Meta tags are a very neat line of code to help Google label your website with key words to improve the websites results for searches. This tag goes in between the header tag and under the the title tag. The code for a meta tag is: <meta name="description" content="This is the description of your website">The ' name="description" ' shows the meta type is a description about your website. The other type is for keywords, and it uses ' name="keywords" content="website, guide, html, create, build, design" '. Example <meta name="description" content="This website teaches you how to make a website"> <meta name="keywords" content="website, site, build, create, learn, tutorial, design, help"> This is an example of the two types of meta tags. The first gives the description of the site and the second gives keywords for search engines to use when ranking the site. Title Tag This is crucial for search engines The title tag is what you see as the descriptive link when you find a website using a google search. Search engines use the title of your website to rank it in the search pages. This tag also goes in between the header tag. The code for a title tag is: <Title>This is a Title</Title> Example <header> <Title>How to Make a Website - Tutorial for Beginners</Title> </header> This is an example of the title for this website "How to Make a Website - Tutorial for Beginners" at the top of your browser. All together If you were going to make a website for Peeling Bananas, the top of your code list would look like this: <Header> <Title>Techniques for Banana Peeling</Title> <Meta name="description" content="Learn from the Ultimate Guide for extreme Banana Peeling Techniques!"> <Meta name="keywords" content="banana, peeling, techniques, guide, banana peeling, bananas, peels, peel, tutorial, help, how"> </Header>
