Inserting Meta Tags Into HTML code

Some search engines, such as Alta Vista, Excite, Lycos, Yahoo and other, use "meta tags" embedded in the HTML code in your web site to index web documents. Meta tags are inserted into the "head" area of your web pages. There are three most common types of meta tags: site title (TITLE tag), site description (META DESCRIPTION tag), and site keywords (META KEYWORDS tag).

Though the use of meta tags does not guarantee your web page a top ranking on crawler-based search engines, it is a good way for web site owners to control how their web pages are described by some search engines. Meta tags are useful for additional web site promotion with some search engines. The SiteBuilder wizard's interface allows you to easily insert meta tags in the HTML code of your web site.

To provide information about your web site:

  1. Click the Extra tab in the main SiteBuilder window.
  2. Click Metatags in the navigation pane and provide information about your web site:
  3. Click Apply.
