Your
documents title will appear in user's hotlists, the banner of most browsers,
and robot-generated lists. It should be a concise, one-line summary of what
the page is about. Bear in mind that users may not reach your document through
your homepage, but directly using a search engine or link at another site,
so the title should ideally be self-sufficient. If this is a company website,
try to include the name of your company here also. Instead of Tools and
Supplies, make it Joes Hardware - Tools and Supplies.

Comma-separated
list of key words for indexing your document.
Some robots look at keywords in context, so it is best to preserve word
order and case, e.g. pizza, Vancouver, British Columbia rather than british
vancouver columbia pizza. Try to use plurals for your keywords, search engines
will process both singular and plural form. DO NOT REPEAT KEYWORDS!

Description
(Strongly Recommended)
The
description is presented to the user along with the document's title as
the result of a search.
Many robots use the first few lines of text as a description if the Description
tag is not present. For documents using frames, it is possible that there
is no such text present. Try to include your company name or website name
here also. Use keywords in your description. Try to avoid superlatives (such
as "best", "biggest", "coolest").

This tag will let you redirect your visitors to another URL after a specified amount of time. This is useful if your site changes URLs. However, most search engines do not like to index pages that automatically redirect. Give this some thought!

<META NAME="ROBOTS"
CONTENT="ALL | NONE | NOINDEX | NOFOLLOW">
default = empty = "ALL"
"NONE" = "NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"
The
filler is a comma separated list of terms:Discussion: This tag is meant to provide users who cannot control the robots.txt file at their sites. It provides a last chance to keep their content out of search services. It was decided not to add syntax to allow robot specific permissions within the meta-tag.
INDEX means that robots are welcome to include this page in search services.
FOLLOW means that robots are welcome to follow links from this page to find other pages.
So a value of "NOINDEX" allows the subsidiary links to be explored, even though the page is not indexed. A value of "NOFOLLOW" allows the page to be indexed, but no links from the page are explored (this may be useful if the page is a free entry point into pay-per-view content, for example. A value of "NONE" tells the robot to ignore the page.

DHTML page transitions. These are the effects a user will see upon entering/exiting your site. These can annoy users. Use these sparingly!
