So where is the best place for this (</head>) tag in SEO terms?

I see some place right after the metatags & others place it way down around say, line 120

If it makes a difference, which is best & why please?

  • It does not take any effect in SEO process. You may place it either before meta tags or after meta tags.

    It doesn't matter what line number it's on, it's a closing tag (<head> ... </head>). That's HTML 101.

  • Make sure its before the <body> tag

    • That's great, thanks. Yes it is before the <body> tag. It is, on my site 'where Dreamweaver put it'. In my case that's around line 120 or so. I was cribbing a bit on page source on similar sites and noticed that many have head 'close' and the body much higher up virtually right below the metatags.
      As it makes no odds I'll leave mine alone

  • Close head tag (E.g. </head>) just before opening of body tag.
    It's standard HTML practice

    • Okay, but that my point.... Some seem to have both tags just below the metatags you know in 'the teens ' and some like mine have them after loads of HTML around line 120.

      Or am I being real hard work and missing point completely:confused:

      Thanks.

  • Perhaps it is clearer with the following outline of your typical HTML page:

    • Ya know, I did forget the ubiquitous answer.
      It could be very possible to put the entire head on one line,
      provided there was no reason for line breaks when typing it in.
