    Installing a Web Page Title
    Now that you have your Meta Keywords, Description and Resource installed into your Web pages the final act is to ensure that each page has a Title. This isn't just a fancy addition to a Web page it is one of the best ways of getting your site listed. Try and make each page title correspond to the contents of the page.

    1. Open up your favorite HTML editor such as Notepad or FrontPage 2000.
    2. View the HTML code.
    3. Find the <HEAD> tag. This is at the very top of the page.
    4. Add a line below the <HEAD> tag called <title> </title> 
    5. Between the <title> and </title> add your title. 
    6. It should now look like this

    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>This website page is great</TITLE>
    <META NAME="RESOURCE-TYPE" CONTENT="document">
    <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="keyword,keyword1,keyword2"> 
    <META NAME="description" CONTENT="This is the best website ever"> 
    </HEAD>

    Installing a Web Page Abstract
    The abstract Meta Tag is not one of the most important of all the Meta Tags that you will need to install. It is however one of the lesser known tags on the Internet and can help you to get slightly better positioning than those sites that have not installed it.
    The abstract is basically a short description of your Web page. e.g. The best ever music website.

    1. Open up your favorite HTML editor such as Notepad or FrontPage 2000.
    2. View the HTML code.
    3. Find the <HEAD> tag. This is at the very top of the page.
    4. Add a line below the <HEAD> tag called <META NAME="ABSTRACT" CONTENT=""> 
    5. Between the "" add your abstract.
    6. It should now look like this

    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>This website page is great</TITLE>
    <META NAME="RESOURCE-TYPE" CONTENT="document">
    <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="keyword,keyword1,keyword2"> 
    <META NAME="description" CONTENT="This is the best music website ever"> 
    <META NAME="abstract" CONTENT="The best ever website"> 
    </HEAD>

    Robot Meta Tag
    The robot tag basically allows you to specify which Web pages you want to be listed in the search engine database. Although a spider should go through all of your site (if links to the pages are found) it is a good idea to add this tag to all your pages that you would like listed.

    Below is the Robot Tag Usage:

    Meta Name: "Robots"
    Supported Types: NOINDEX | INDEX | NOFOLLOW | FOLLOW
    General Usage: <META name="Robots" content="index,follow">

    Installing the Robot Meta Tag
    1. Open up your favorite HTML editor such as Notepad or FrontPage 2000.
    2. View the HTML code.
    3. Find the <DESCRIPTION> tag.
    4. Add a line below the <DESCRIPTION> tag called <META NAME="Robots" CONTENT=""> 
    5. Between the "" add either:

    • INDEX = Index the Web page
    • NOINDEX = Do not index the Web page
    • NOFOLLOW = Do not follow links on the Web page
    • FOLLOW = Follow links on this Web page

    You can include more than one of the above statements e.g. INDEX,FOLLOW.

    Your Web page should now look like this

    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>This website page is great</TITLE>
    <META NAME="RESOURCE-TYPE" CONTENT="document">
    <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="keyword,keyword1,keyword2"> 
    <META NAME="description" CONTENT="This is the best music website ever"> 
    <META NAME ="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX,FOLLOW">
    <META NAME="abstract" CONTENT="The best ever website">
    </HEAD>
