Meta Tags - How Google Meta Tags Impact SEO

Image
What Are Meta Tags? Meta tags  are snippets of text that describe a page’s content; the meta tags don’t appear on the page itself, but only in the page’s code. We all know tags from blog culture, and meta tags are more or less the same thing, little content descriptors that help tell search engines what a web page is about. The only difference between tags you can see (on a blogpost, say) and tags you can’t see is location: meta tags only exist in HTML, usually at the “head” of the page, and so are only visible to search engines (and people who know where to look). The “meta” stands for “metadata,” which is the kind of data these tags provide – data  about  the data on your page. Do Meta Tags Help SEO? Yes, they do, but not all of them and not all of the time. One of the goals of this page is to explain which meta tags help you to get the word out and which have become passé. (See  Know Your Meta Tags  below). If you want to find out whether ...

What is a Blog: Blogging Basics (9 Pro Blogger Definitions)

Image
You must have heard the term “ blog ” or “ weblog ” and you're probably thinking what it's all about… Let's make this clear, when I was in College, a lot of people talked about “blogs” and “blogging”, but I never knew exactly what it was. I had absolutely no idea… Fortunately, I've now published and managed many different blogs, so I can truly say I know what blogging is. A blog is very similar to a website. I would say that a blog is a diary/journal that is (mostly) maintained by one person –  blogger . Usually, blogs are being updated quite often (once a day, once a week, once a month). Blogs can be private, but most of them are available on the internet for others to see. Blogs have certain topics.

Bloggers are usually passionate about a specific topic thus they'll create one...

You think life couldn't get better, when all of a sudden a beautiful girl saunters by holding a water bottle, glossy hair whipping in the wind and sunglasses masking what you just know are eyes that will pierce you right to your bones. Just as she's passing your spot, she drops her water bottle onto your lap and it sprays everywhere. You're delighted, because now you have an excuse to talk to her. She apologizes profusely for spilling on you and tells you her name (Something Exotic), offering a handshake. For the next ten minutes you laugh together, and you're certain you've found The One. Suddenly, her friend calls her from down the beach and tells her to hurry up, it's time to go. "Wait!" you exclaim as she turns to leave. "Can I get your number?" ...
