Creating meta tags for your blog must be very defined. Some sources say that meta tags aren’t that much of a use with the bots crawling all over the place to search for your sites and index it.

Well, basically having meta tags is bound to help spiders and bots to crawl your webpage/blog easier. Why is it so? These tags allow better indexing by robot-driven search engines, such as AltaVista, Infoseek.

So What Does a Meta Tag Looks Like?

Some sites just explained the reason why meta tag was needed but didn’t really give an example of a meta tag format. Well, currently I am doing a Meta Tag Generator for your usage (may take some time), but if you’re lazy to wait here is a sample Meta Tag Generator for you people out there. While there’s also a Meta Tag plugin for Wordpress , which you can insert as a plugin for your wordpress blogs.

Speaking of which how does a Meta Tag looks like… Here’s an example from a blog.

<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress 2.3.1″ />
<meta name=”keywords” content=”weird, danielctw, travel, perth, redang, blog,photo, food” />
<meta name=”description” content=”daniel blogs about his travels, reviews and findings of his weird weird surroundings” />
<meta name=”author” content=”danielctw” />

This is just a simple meta tag format. Another meta tag from another blog.

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ />
<meta name=”distribution” content=”global” />
<meta name=”robots” content=”follow, all” />
<meta name=”language” content=”en, sv” />
<meta name=”author” content=”Amitabh Shukla - www.ygosearch.com” />
<meta name=”Theme URL” content=”YGoSearch - www.ygosearch.com/seoblog ” />
<title> satkuru.com</title>
<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress 2.3.1″ />

Well, if you’re good in programming, one can generate the meta tags according to page, archives and page title. Meta Tag Generator is still under progress, so adding a few final touches to help in creating the meta tags.
