Should I add a meta tag on every page? And also should I add a different one on every page or the same one??
I would also like to expand on this question –
Is there a limit to the number of words I should use for each page?Also, am I right in thinking that words like poker should only be used a couple of times otherwise the serps don’t like it?
I think it would be good to use meta tags in all pages. This is a good tool for checking the meta tags: http://www.submitexpress.com/analyzer/
There you see if your meta description is too long relative to the page content etc..
META Description and TITLE tags are two of the most important elements on every page and should be very relevant to the content and descriptive to visitors. Google uses both in it’s search results so they have to a) be written in such a way as to make Google see it as worthy of a decent position and b) to make a visitor want to click it based on what they read.
And yes they should be unique to every page in both instances.
Here’s what I have learned about meta tags
for my latest site–gamblingteachers.com
Title – up to about 60 characters including spaces.
Description – up to about 130 characters including spaces.
Keywords – no more than 5 to avoid ‘stuffing’
1) Consider your title and description as an ‘ad’ for that page. Certainly include the keyword(s) no more than twice for that page, but ‘sell it’.
Don’t use the same wording for title and description. This is free ad space for the search engines, use it to your advantage.
2) At the same time, be very specific about what your page is about, so search engines can crawl and categorize the page correctly .
If you are talking about hold’em, use hold’ em poker to pick up visitors who may just browse for poker. Set up the file name as /holdem-poker
Example: when I first set up my videopoker pages, I put the comma in the keywords like this: video, poker instead of video poker, and I found the search engines were classifying my site for the word ‘video’ – yikes!
3) Include your keywords in the title of the text/article and the first 90 characters of the text. Word it exactly as the file name.
4) Use your specific keywords about 12 times for every 500 words. Don’t ‘stuff’ your keyword(s) in the first 500 words–spread it/them around evenly if the text is over 1000 words.
12 times is a guess, but the neat resource with my current service is that they have a tool ‘Analyzer’ that tells you if your metas are ok, number of keywords in text and gives you a rating to correct for search engines.
Since I decided to go with a reputable site builder/hosting service, it’s like I have gone back to webmaster school and it has been a great learning experience, but exhausting to put up 200+ pages.
Hope this helps.
5) Another one – be sure to put a link with your keywords in it on the page. I do it this way–when the article about holdem poker is finished, I put up a live link that reads: ‘After holdem poker, there is an article about omaha poker’.
OK, I’ll say goodbye now.
Using meta tags and different keywords on every page is crucial. The previous post is a good guideline. I’ll add that you want humans to click on your links though, not robots.
What I mean by this is that you want your description / title to be smooth. When I type something in google and the title is, for example, “Final Fantasy 13 Final Fantasy XIII FF13 FFXIII” or titles like that, filled with keywords, people tend to discard the website as you being a marketer.
Think I’ll avail of this great advice. I’m a newbie and still building. Never thought it would be this much work!!
If anyone wants to swap links get in contact. Cheers, and good luck.

Skip adding the title meta and your page will appear as just the filename in the SERP’s.
For example the home page would appear as index.html

your site breaches googles adsense T&C’s.. Get the google ads off….
Not sure how? Is it the quantity? I have only got 2 (a single and a 5-tier verticle) on each page. Is it the content of the site itself? Would be very grateful if you could reply.:inlove:
Thanks…..irish-something.
Jack Nicholson…..What if this is as good as it gets??
In addition you will make a lot more money with casino ads than adsence
