here are a number of programs that search the World Wide Web for documents and compile them into indexes. Some of these merely extract filenames or titles from headers. Others use a more sophisticated method that depends on you, the HTML author to include indexing information in the HTML file in a specific format. This indexing information is called meta information and can also be used to create your own local searchable indexes of your Web pages.
T
he placement of these tags is important. They should go in between the
<head>
and
</head>
tags in your html page.
M
ost search engines will in the absence of META tags, use the textual contents to index your document. This can be a hit and miss proposition. Some search engines won't use the tags at all. These search engines rely on plucking words from the text of your page.
( Especially text in
<title></title>
tags )
You can also create your <META> tags on-line, by using my friendly
<meta
http-equiv
The
HTTP-EQUIV
attribute is the name of a http header property. The HTML spec does not really define any fixed list of properties that must be supported , and it is up to the viewing agent to pick and choose what information to respond to. The difference between HTTP-EQUIV and the NAME attribute is that HTTP-EQUIV entries are represenative of http headers, whereas the NAME arribute is more reflective of a property associated with the page.
content
The
CONTENT
attribute specifies a string value to associate as the content/value of the property mentioned in (NAME or HTTP-EQUIV) attribute.
The remainder of the attributes are used far less often , and in most cases you won't need them.
scheam
The
SCHEAM
attribute specifies a scheme or mechanism for interpreting or processing the value referenced by the
CONTENT
attribute.
