Meta Tag Maker

Meta tags are used by some search engines to help determine what your site is about so it can be matched to relevant search queries. It's only one of many 'scores' they use in ranking sites, but any edge is an advantage, however small it may be. Meta tags also provide the description some search engines use in describing your site in search results.

The free meta tag generator below will help you get them formatted right. Who loves ya, baby! The tags generated should be placed into the <HEAD> section of your page, just below the title.

NOTE: For a more comprehensive set of meta tags and handy offline convenience, check out my MetaTag Master software. You may also be interested in CSS Master for easy Cascading Style Sheet creation.

Description:
The description is displayed at some search engines as the site description they offer in search results. It should read like normal sentences and include your top one to five keywords. Keep it short and punchy, it's your advertisement to convince people to come to your web site. It should be less than 120 characters.

Enter your description here:

Keywords
Keywords are used by search engines to help determine the relevancy of your site to the search query. Seperate each keyword and keyword phrase with a comma. Example: dogs,dog breeders,kennel clubs. Keep it under 762 characters including commas and spaces. Remember, too many keywords dilute the value of each one. Try to keep it under 20 keywords and/or keyword phrases for best results. DO NOT REPEAT ANY WORD MORE THAN THREE TIMES!

Enter your keywords here:

Owner
You may enter your email address, business name, the name of the company you work for, or your name here.

AuthorEnter your name, the webmaster's name, or the name of the author if someone else has written your content for you.

RatingRate your site for your viewers. General is the rating for most sites.

RobotsThis indicates to a search engine if it should or should not index your page, and if it should or should not follow the links on the page to index the connected pages. Most of the time you want the search engine to index and follow.

Revisit IntervalFor the search engines that use this tag, it tells them when you'd prefer their spider come back to re-index your page. You can express the value in days, weeks, or months. Don't make it less than 30 days. Format it like this: 30 days, or 8 weeks, or 3 months.

Your meta tags are in the text area below. To use them, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click inside the box where the code is and click Select All from the pop-up menu. With the code highlighted, right-click on the highlighted code and select Copy from the pop-up menu. The code will be copied onto your computer's clipboard.
