Now we are going to know some detailed information about the possible attributes of meta tags. |
|
| Content |
|
The attributes “content” provides the value information in the “name” it can be any valid string
Information appears in “quotes” here I give example for that. |
| <meta content= ”MarketRaise Corp. offers a multitude of Internet based technologies such as Web Design, Content Creation, Hosting, Software Development, Ecommerce Solutions, Web Marketing, Ad Space Brokering, Lead generation, IT Outsourcing, Analytic Reporting and Consulting.”/> |

| Name |
|
| The attributes name give you authority that you can use any name that you would like or that might be useful to you. Some common names are keywords, description, author, robots and copyright. |
| Here I give some example that explains what I want to say. |
keywords - words that identify what the page is about, usually used in |
| <meta name="keywords" content="HTML Software Development, Ecommerce Solutions, Web Marketing, Ad Space Brokering, Lead generation, IT Outsourcing,"> |
description - a short description of the page |
| <meta name="description" content="Boost your marketing strategy with meta tags"> |
| * author - the author's name and possibly email address |
| <meta name="author" content="cronis"> |
| * robots - to allow or disallow indexing by robots |
| <meta name="robots" content="no index"> |
| * copyright - the copyright date of the page |
| <meta name="copyright" content="August 1999"> |
|
| http-equiv |
|
| This attribute is also a name for the name/value pair, but it is used by the server to include that name/value pair in the MIME document header passed to the Web browser before sending the actual HTML document. Some common http-equiv types are: |
| * charset - defines the character set used in the page |
| <meta http-equiv="charset" content="iso-8859-1"> |
| * expires - when the document will be out of date |
| <meta http-equiv="expires" content="22 april 2008"> |
| * refresh - sets the number of seconds to reload the page or reload to a new page |
| Reload the page every 10 seconds: |
| <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10"> |
| Reload to a new page after 10 seconds: |
| <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=http://webdesign.about.com/"> |
