The Most Important Meta Tags for all Websites for Better SEO
There are lots of meta tags and html-tags for websites and obviously not all tags influence the search result. For example the html cookie tag doesn’t have any role to rank your website or blog in search engine results, however the Title, Description and Keyword Tags are very important. We are come up with few tags which will help you to rank fast in SERP. We will not be discussing the tags, which are not much important. We will be sharing only The Most Important Meta Tags for all Websites for Better SEO.
 
1. Title Tag
Title tag should not be more that 70 characters.
<title>Up to 70 Characters of relevant keywords</title>
 
2. Description Tag
Description tag should not be more than 155 characters.
<meta name=”description” content=”Relevant description of your website not more than 155 characters, should include important keywords” />
 
3. Keyword Tag
Keyword tag is not important anymore. And put comma after every word. However Meta Keywords is of no positive value to any major Search Engine especially not Google. It was announced in September 2009. You can check it HERE
Example:
Incorrect Way: “Learn SEO, Learn SMO, Learn Online Marketing“
Correct way: “Learn, SEO, SMO, Online Marketing“
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Do not repeat the words, it should not have more than 10 keywords“/>
