Meta Tags - Meta, meaning "hidden", concealed or out of sight.

Tag is just something to call something, a name or "label", if you will.

  • Used in the creation of  html documents, and attributes within them.
  • Title
  • Description
  • Keywords
  • There are others, but for basic purposes of Search Engine Optimisation, we focus on the three above.
  • Called Meta Tags, because all are only visible, within the source Code ( View > Page Source ). A Content Management System, may add others, depending on how it is configured. It will still show in the source.
  • These must be placed in the "Head" section, and vary a little depending on the declared Document type - closed, or not.
