Please take the following tips into consideration and create/edit your meta tags via your web site's log in area/control panel. (If you can edit the actual html of your web pages and do not have to use a log in are or control panel to make changes, you should be using our other meta tag tool. Go back to the tools page an use the other option.)

From within your web control panel you can hopefully find a place to edit your website's meta tags. If not, please ask support at your web host or store provider. These tags are responsible for telling search engines your store's title, description, and the key words by which you want your store found in search engines. Poor planning, or no meta tags entered at all, can result in low or no traffic to your new store or website!

Example: Rather than "free, mortgage, calculator, etc..." where words are singled out and less effective, try "free mortgage calculator, etc..." where you combine the individual words free and mortgage and calculator to make one more specific search phrase.

It is also very important to use key words that are actually words found on the main page of your website. Key words or phrases that are in your meta tags and are also found in the text of your main page will result in better listings on search engines. When listing your key words, try including some words that are found in your main page's text, link text, title, etc..

Web Site Title (64 characters or less) Try to incorporate some of your main key words and phrases into your title. It is extremely important to have a few of you most important key words/phrases included in the beginning of your title. If you must include your company name, do so at the END of the title.
