Free Instant Metatags Generator
Before some search engines index your site, they send what is called a "Spider" or “Crawler” out to your site to do the indexing. The Spider searches for specific commands that it uses to index your site, including specific keywords, a title, and a description of your site. If they don't see the specific commands in the HTML script of your site, most spiders are designed simply to read the first 10-30 words of your site and that will be your listing in the search engines.
Thus the importance of adding Meta Tags to your HTML code. The tags are invisible to the eyes and won't change the look of your site at all. Only Spiders "see" and use them for indexing. The MetaTags should be added in the very beginning of the site’s HTML code, between <HEAD> and </HEAD>.
Here's just a sample of how some of the engines work.
Google - will check the content of your site. Link popularity is taken as major consideration.
Alta Vista - References first 30 words on page for description unless you use META TAGS. Alta Vista determines the priority of matches by indexing the words closest to the beginning of the front page.
Infoseek - Index the first 200 characters of your site after the HTML <BODY> tag unless you use META TAGS in the creation of your site. Your description can include up to 200 characters of text.
Lycos - engine compares each page to your query and gives higher scores to pages that contain the words as you typed them into your Web Site. It also looks for pages that mention these words early on, rather than far down.
Yahoo - searches for words in URL, title & description (20 words) YOU ENTERED when submitting URL!
Webcrawler - Webcrawler computes its confidence rating by considering how many times the terms in your search occur in that document. The more frequent, the more relevant.
End the list goes on ...............
