Hi All,

I fixed the editible problem I was having with the meta tags for each page, but now when I try and edit them I'm not sure if I am doing it correctly.
When I went through: Insert>HTML>Head Tags>Keywords...
the code was added mid-way down the page which didnt seem right as all other websites always have the keywords with the meta description at the top of the page. So i undid that and tried to put it in manually in the code. Can you tell me if this looks correct from what I have attached below? (This is line 1-15 of the code.)
Also, what is the Robot? I have been told that Google notices the details in the robot but I dont understand what this means. They also say that you shouldnt repeat the keyword lists through each page, does this mean that the description and meta keywords should have different details also?

<html>

var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a)&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}

Thanks for your help!
Jo Stephens.

Hi Joanna

The above all looks pretty good to me.

Just to note, the robots tag is not absolutly neccessarry as you can controll what is searched on your website via robots.txt.

Hope this helps
David

Hi Jo,

Sometimes Dreamweaver inserts the meta tag wherever your cursor is. I find that if your cursor is in the design view, Dreamweaver should correctly find the place in the HEAD tags. If your cursor is in the code view, Dreamweaver inserts the meta tag where your cursor is.

To be safe, best to have your cursor either in Design view or right where you want the tag to appear in your code.

Robots meta tag can be removed if you like, as the default is for the search engines to crawl your site. You would normally have a robots tag if you wanted to exclude a page from particular (or all) spiders.

As Dave said, you can also control most spiders by using robots.txt in the root of your web site.

Regards, Rich
