Avoid using robots
The robots meta tag is typically used unnecessarily. Often you will see the following in the <head> of a page requesting search engine spiders to crawl all of the content on the side:
<meta name=”robots” contents=”/>
It would seem to be a good idea to tell search engines to index everything , but actuality, it’s not necessary . By default search engines will crawl all of the pages on your site they can reach unless you tell them otherwise. You can save yourself the time and energy of including it because it won’t provide any real returns.
Avoid using refresh
One meta tag to be avoided at all cost is refresh. A meta refresh simply refreshes or redirects the browser to a different location at a specified interval. I t is perceived as a potentially black hat SEO practice because many people have used meta refresh to deliver a bait and switch strategy to search engines by showing a page filled with keywords, than automatically refreshing to a different location where the content has nothing to do with the initial page. Although you may be using a meta refresh for honest intentions like indicating that a page has moved to a new location, simply using the techniques can generate more trouble with penalized page ranking than it is worth. There are safer and more elegant solutions to handling moved pages than with meta refresh.
Always include content type
One meta tag to always include is the meta content-type, which defines the character set to be used to display the content. Failure to include it can result in some strange rendering of your text.
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=” text/html; charset=utf-8”/>
Optional mea tags to consider
Here some optional meta tags to include that are nice , but wo’t make any significant impact on the findability of your site:
Author author is not used by Google, Yahoo! Or MSN :
<meta name=”author” content=” John”/>
Content -language
Content-language assists search engine spiders in cataloging the language of the page:
<meta http-equiv=”Content-language” content=”en-us”/>
Copyright
Copyright declares the copyright of the content:
<meta name=”copyright” content=”Copyright 2009 John. All rights reserved.”/>
Geo tags
