The Revisit Tag
The revisit tag defines how
often a search engine spider should come to your website for
re-indexing. Often this tag is used for websites that change their content
often and on a regular basis. This tag can also be beneficial in boosting
your rankings if search engines display results based on the most recent
submissions.
Installing the Revisit
Tag
1. Open up your favorite HTML
editor such as Notepad or FrontPage 2000.
2. View the HTML code.
3. Find the <ROBOTS> tag.
4. Add a line below the <ROBOTS> tag called <META
NAME="REVISIT-AFTER" CONTENT="">
5. Between the "" add the amount of days between indexing e.g.
"30 DAYS".
6. 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="REVISIT-AFTER" CONTENT="30 DAYS">
<META NAME="abstract" CONTENT="The best ever website">
</HEAD>
This basically covers all the important
Meta Tags that you will need within each of your Web pages. Although there
are others that you can use none of them will help you in website promotion.
We will now
quickly go over the other points that you need to consider when
constructing your website to ensure you get found in the WWW Jungle.
ALT Image Tag
If your Web pages use images, image
maps or photos, you should make use of the ALT image tag. ALT image tags
are an extension to images which displays alternative text for users who
cannot read images (such as search engines). This is most beneficial with
search engines that index full text, because you are now providing search
engines a textual representation of your graphics and the ability to index
more content about your website. The more images, the more advantage you
have in using the ALT image tag, giving you room for more descriptions to
include in search engines. This technique has shown to be quite effective,
especially for users who have graphics at the top of their pages and with
users who use a large number of images. The syntax for the ALT image tag
is included below.
