Thread: Meta tags.

The more we (web-unmasters) get into it the more dense it becomes... And there's danger lurking everywhere.
Apperently a particularly serious one (referring, among others, to advice/response to a new website review above) is the danger of meta-tagging.

I may have more questions about it, but for now:

Are there numerical limits (and other stipulative restrictions) on the metatags attached to our submissions, provided that they are anchored in true content? Say, if I have 50 key words on my homepage, can I put a hundred (multi-worded form, associative/relating-meaning, but all containing a word or phrase in the actual page) word in the meta tag section?

Can someone check my not-quite-ready index page in this regard?

Many thanks.

These "musings" type of posts of yours get really old, for they can be self-answered by merely performing a Forum Search ....

When you create an actual "index" page with a modicum of Content, THEN you can worry about insidious details such as optimization value and the metrics involved.....you have quite a ways to go however, as even your 'minimalist' "portal" is lacking precise layout and balance.

For a glimpse of some basic "construct" methodology regarding KW, visit this recent thread.

Keep In Mind All Key Values To Be Anchored In Specific Page Content, In Normal Contextual Format To Establish True Readable Relevancy

I'm a bit of a renegade; I won't create a standardized website. The content on my index page is enough for me, and yes, it needs a little balancing and finishing. (If you turn a page or two, you'll find Content. Tons of it. But it's art. I mean mostly music. Sorry, not the assembly-line type).
But. If you don't know what's in store for you when submission comes, that's when panick hits - see above.
The information about optimization and metric values is what I needed and couldn't find it on any recent Forum post. (In such a clear, metric way).
Now my understanding is clear.

Your post was very much to the point and gave me what I needed - like always. Got my gonads, too. Cool.

My site is my site - and I want it that way.

With my highest esteem for you, dear Kutuzov, and I mean it.

Nothing to do with meta tags...
(As the latest dispute about those: avoid...)

How old is your BV account?

Did you publish your first (index) page?

You have published your index page incorrectly.
Save page as " index " (no quotes) Add NOTHING to the name.
