Step # 4: UNDERSTANDING AND WRITTING TAGS IN HTML
Here we will understand and write the
most important tags in proper manner.
Title
Tag  top
It appears at the top blue line or strip of your browser. There
is a misconception about this tag and that is that only company’s
name can be written here. But actually what searching spiders do
is that they look for the services and product names from which
surfers are likely to search for the particular site. Remember these
words are those, which we have already discussed in step 2.
Now we have to remember one more thing and that is what is essential
for writing the title tag.
- use long title tag (maximum 55 char.)
- all words must be related to your services or products
- not all the words should start from capital letters
- avoid promotional statements as “we are the best” in this tag
- should use some words with all caps in the beginning of the
title tags just to give better positions. As caps are ranked higher
than small.
Now open any word editor like wordpad or notepad. Open your page
there e.g. index.html. it means open your web page.
In the head section write as under

apply the same for your product or service.
Here I have emphasized on "cotton yarn" as other types of yarns
comes under cotton yarn. Save your page. Now your page will appear
as:


Description
Tag  top
It is basically used for describing
the content of your website. Remember one thing that in search results
it is description tag, which influences the surfer wheather to click
your site, or not.
Open again the index file. Now
right in the head portion the description tag.
Here you have to be very careful
as you have to write the logical statement which should be covering
all aspects of your website. Plus, it should be enriched with the
words you would like the surfers to find your site.
Ideal description tag length
is 30 words.
So, lets write the description
tag. I would like to write a description tag for a yarn manufacturer
as under

my description tag is
of 17 words and comprehensively describes the whole site.
Quality of this tag is as I
have used all of my product names in it. Plus, reoccurrence of the
word ”yarn “ will give me better position with all the search phrases
involving yarn.
Save the file, remember this
description tag can only be seen in search engine results as under.

Keyword Tag  top
This is the most important tag
of all. As the spider will critically watch where and what is placed.
In step 2 we listed some of
our services and products for our knowledge. Now this is the time
to exploit that knowledge.
Open a separate text editor i.e.
notepad. Now list down all the possible combinations of two words
or three words. Write them in vertical order. Now place two words
phrase a head of three word phrases. As most of the surfers usually
enter two word search query.
Edit the list according to your
priority. The number of phrases in edited list should not exceed
20. As it would be very difficult to give proper prominence in keyword
tag.
There are few things that are
very important in writing this tag:
- the particular phrase should
not exceed 6 times. Yes, the phrase can be repeated but not after
one another. You have to give space of some search phrases before
repeating the same phrase.
- important phrases should
come earlier and thus repeated earlier in the tag.
- plurals should also be added
to the keyword list.
- common misspells like ”center”
and “centre” should also be included.
- put “commas” between the
two search phrases.
Here I am listing down the possible
words for my yarn product. You do the same for your product.
Yarn |
Yarns |
Cotton Yarn |
cotton yarn |
Carded Yarn |
carded yarn |
Combed Yarn |
combed yarn |
cotton carded yarn |
cotton combed yarn |
poly cotton yarn |
P/c yarn |
Yarn manufacturers |
Yarn exporters |
I have already arranged my search
phrases priority wise you should do the same. Now I will put them
in the tag.
In the head portion of html
code write this tag.

Try to
arrange the words priority wise as those words should occupy early
places than others. These only work for the spider of the search
engines.
Comment
Tag  top These
tags are used in the body section of the html code. But are not
visible at the front end.
Try to use keywords like this
you have
to put the keyword in some sort of statement as in human edit online
directories human will watch for irrelevant thing, and if you have
not used it in some sort of sentence then it is likely that editor
can penalize you for doing this
Image
Alt Tag  top
Image alt tag can be seen at
the front end so, logical statement should carry the keywords. more
keywords adding to this may hinder your website’s looks,


Try to hide the image alt tags
in corner gifs or in the top image gif as surfer normally don’t
put mouse over those places.
Save your document and now your
web page is fully ready to be submitted in search engine.
Upload your page to your domain.
