Curtis needs to Google on: "search engine optimization", which will yield an industry of both good and not so good products, consultants, advice, and methods. --Mark Mark Lavi, Enterprise Web Management Team @ SGI mailto:mlavi@xxxxxxx || phone:+1-650-933-7707 -----Original Message----- From: Dragon [mailto:dragon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 11:56 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Meta tags: keywords and description Curtis Vaughan wrote: >It is my understanding that the metatag "Keywords" is not really used by >search engine crawlers any more, and that description is the better to >use.

Not to mention misspellings. ---------------- End original message. --------------------- I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't believe that this is the appropriate forum for this as your questions have nothing to do with the Apache web server. I suggest finding ones dealing with web design and search engines to ask such questions. Ironically, searching the web is likely to turn up far more useable info for you than you are likely to get here. I would also suggest starting at http://www.w3c.org/ for any questions regarding page markup syntax. None of which is directly related to the Apache web server.
