Hi,

I have a site that I am building right now. The site it will have 2 pages that are not controlled by a username password access arrangement all the others will require the subscriber to log in to see the content.

The question I have is as follows:

Should the meta name="keywords" entry be repeated on all the non password protected pages? and should the meta name="keywords" entry be repeated on all the password protected pages too?

Example below of the meta tag

<meta name="keywords" content="foo, bar" />

Thanks,

Go Girl

    Keyword tags on all public pages will be fine. Better if the keywords are related to the page content. Not the same keywords repeated on every page.

    Meta keywords - are not considered by Google now a days.. but still having a value.. It is not necessary to give your meta tags in the password protected pages.

    You want to put that information into the <head></head> of your website. This is called the META TAGS and bear some significance for the crawlers/spiders to see what your website is all about.

    Any questions just let me know

      Thanks all.

      I assume that I will not have to give the

      <meta name="description" content="foo, bar." />

      on the password word protected pages either?

      Thanks,

    they should be placed in your header, just before the closing tags..
    <head>
    ...
    <meta name="keywords" content="foo,bar">
    ....
    <head>

    and no you don't have to place these on password protected pages

      Thanks Stefffff,

      When you say that they should be placed just before the closing tags,

      between my <head> and <head> is a whole lot of stuff that is dumped in by Flash. Should I have the <meta name="keywords" content="foo,bar"> closer to the "bottom" <head> tag or anywhere between the two?

      Thanks,
