••••••>The Perfect HTML Meta Tags will help get #1 Google Rankings

Using the HTML head tags and Meta tags properly will go along way in your SEO efforts. Conversely using the tags incorrectly will often times assure you will never be #1 in Google.

Title Meta Tag. As one of the more important SEO Meta tags, The Title Tag" must be crafted with the proper keyword elements, generally keeping Google, then Yahoo and then Bing respectively in mind. Google accounts for more searches then the combined next 4 search engines, so we suggest satisfying Google’s Algorithm requirements first. Whenever possible your page title should employ the keyword and/or key phrases phrase as the first word(s). The 2 biggest mistakes made are using page descriptors such as "Home Page", "Welcome to our Site" and then using the name of the company ABC Gadgets, Welcome Page". These types of titles may actually serve to lower your rankings instead of propelling you to #1 in Google for your most important Website Keywords.

Undoubtedly the use of the keyword and/or key phrases at the very beginning of the page title has will have highest results in achieving and obtaining the highest rankings possible, even #1 in Google.

The Meta Description Tag. Though the Meta description may not hold much weight in search rankings algorithms utilized by most of the major search engines. Meta description tags are very important as the search engines will utilize the keyword and/or key phrases in the description it "bolds" when showing on the search engine results page. Since a great deal of web searchers will often times use this information to "convert" (click over to your website) ultimately this is your reason for wanting to be #1 and it can and will produce more website traffic.

Meta Keywords tag. The major search engines differ when it comes to Meta Keywords. What ever you do, do not "stuff" as many keywords into this Meta tag. Yahoo differs among the major search engines, Yahoo will make note of the keywords but utilizes the Meta keyword tag mostly for discovery, though in theory not for ranking results. Inevitably this may change due to Bing’s impending changes as it meshes its technologies with Yahoo. Some SEO companies will recommend not using the tag at all; we think it still carries value.

Robots Meta Tag. Though not compulsory, the most important thing here is to be absolutely sure when utilizing this tag that it is formed properly and does not contain any directives to disallow access by the search engines.

Other Meta Tags. There is other Meta tags, if you are not 100% confident in what you are doing you are probably better off to stay away from these other tags.

Used improperly the may hurt your SEO efforts. Remember, each and every page on your website needs to contain unique and individual Meta tags, especially the Title tag, the description tag and the keyword tags. Duplicating the same tags on all pages will definitely detract from obtaining that #1 Google ranking you are trying so hard to achieve.

Re: Website Ranking #1 in all Search Engines Re: Website Ranking #1 in all Search Engines - To get ranking on Yahoo and Bing you need to have correct Meta Tags as proper optimization is something Yahoo and Bing prefers. Apart from that try to create backward links from Yahoo answers, Wiki answers, Associated content, Flickr. Yahoo prefers these sites and even nofollow links.

HTML Tables HTML Tables - [quote:4u1ipskd] when compared to the non-validated version of the website that consisted of many HTML based tables[/quote:4u1ipskd] Well..dang. Most of my webpages consist of HTML based tables full of data... I can see I'm going to have to upgrade my programming skills...I self-taught myself how to do html years ago and haven't kept up with the times. Does it help to have a Google Search Box on every page? I do that, in the hopes that the results of anyone searching my site specifically will automatically feed into Google's index of the web.
