HCI 201 Multimedia and the World Wide Web

Fall 1999 - Section 703 - META Tags


Meta tags -- identifying your page to the outside world.

If you want people to find your page via search engines, provide keywords and a page summary so that search engines can classify them properly.

Place META tags in the < HEAD > section.

These META tags provide examples of keywords, description, author, and copyright presentation:

< META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="HCI, Human-Computer Interaction, Human Factors, Ergonomics, CHI" >

< META NAME="description" CONTENT="Study of Human-Computer Interaction course material for university-level students" >

< META NAME="author" CONTENT="Helen Martch" >

< META NAME="copyright" CONTENT="© 1999 Helen Martch" >

If you want to keep search engine robots OUT of your site:

< META NAME="robots" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW" >
