Meta Resource Type: Declaring the type of resource the page is.


Example: <META name="resource-type" content="document">
 

Recommendation: Do not use. Use the DTD declaration instead.

 

 

<META name="resource-type" content="document">
Ummm, I guess this says that this page is a document... instead of what? Actually, I'm not really sure what this means... a hosting provider I used a long time ago suggested I include this line for the benefit of its internal search engine, and I've carried it over on my pages ever since, but it's probably useless. (I've since found out that this tag was originated in site-index.pl, an indexing script that was popular around 1994-95, which also originated the keywords and description META tags. Those two caught on, but the resource-type one didn't. Other than "document", the other possible value was "service", to denote non-static pages such as search engines and guestbooks.)

Meta Tag Validation

Validating XHTML transitional compliance:
The GILS meta tags that I supplied to your development templates DO NOT validate. Sorry for the inconvenience, but until I had my site finished and started running the validation, I was not aware of this case rule in transitional markup.
Example Wrong: <META NAME="url" SCHEME="URI" CONTENT="http://uid.dli.state.mt.us/uid/uihome.asp" />

Example that validates: <meta name="url" scheme="URI" content="http://uid.dli.state.mt.us/uid/uihome.asp" />

This fix is fairly painless in our Dreamweaver MX 2004 using the Results tab ->Search ->Find and Replace. Searching in Source code, either running the whole site or folder by folder, check match case and uncheck ignore whitespace. Do a find for META NAME, replace with meta name. Run. Then repeat with CONTENT to content, and SCHEME to scheme, separately.

If you haven't done all your meta tags yet, edit the following for YOUR sites Subjects and Originator, title, keywords, and url, then copy and paste into the <head> of your documents.

Meta Tag Generator


 

This useful tool will create a set of meta tags for your page based on the information you enter. Useful if you're not sure how to do it. Once you have entered and submitted the information in the fields, you will receive an email with your meta tags ready to copy and paste into your document

What can I include in a meta tag?

There are basically four major meta tags that you can use:

<META name="resource-type" content="document">
The only resource type that is currently in use is "document" This is the only tag that you need to put in for indexing purposes, but using additional tags.


<META name="description" content="a description of your page">Depending on the search engine, this will be displayed along with the title of your page in an index. "Content" could be a word, sentence or even paragraph to describe your page. Keep this reasonably short, concise and to the point. However, be careful with your description - make sure it's an appropriate reflection of the content of your page!


<META name="keywords" content="a, list, of, keywords">Choose whatever keywords you think are appropriate, separated by commas. Remember to include synonyms, Americanisms and so on. If your page is about cars, you might want to include keywords such as car, cars, vehicles, automobiles etc.


<META name="distribution" content="one of several">
Content should contain either global, local or iu (for Internal Use). My advice is to stick to "global".

Where do I put my meta tags?

Your meta tags go in between the <HEAD>and</HEAD> tags of your page like this:

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Your Page Title</TITLE>

<META name="resource-type" content="document">

<META name="description" content="a description of your page">

<META name="keywords" content="a, list, of, keywords">

<META name="distribution" content="one of several">

</HEAD>
