how to get google to like you
Want to get a top ranking in search engines? Be sure to have proper meta tags included in your html. Meta tags are not a magic trick to get you to become the top website on search engines, however they provide search engine crawlers with the desired information which proves that you deserve to be thereabout.
Definition & Usage (as explained on w3schools.com)
- Metadata is information about data.
- The <meta> tag provides metadata about the HTML document. Metadata will not be displayed on the page, but will be machine parsable.
- Meta elements are typically used to specify page description, keywords, author of the document, last modified, and other metadata.
- The <meta> tag always goes inside the head element.
