Free HTML Meta Tag Generator (short)

Important Meta Tags:(* required)
Use the other long version for more detailed help, and/or also read the Indexing chapter first!

*Title - This sentence appears in the title bar. No more than 69-70 characters are allowed. Include as many important keywords, which are also on the page, as you can.

Description - Give your potential visitors a quick and precise summary of why they should visit this page. Use less than a total of 150 characters.
< Uncheck to rely on just a single Description tag!

Keywords - Comma separated values in the form of words and-or phrases similar to the title, description and body text! Around 700-800 total chars. is best! Don't worry about extra spaces or line breaks! Reformatting is automatic!

The 'concatenate' mode available below will substitute commas for the linebreaks in tall lists (Excel) of single keywords and/or phrases for you. You may need to rerun the script in normal mode for a second time to get rid of any really large numbers of excess spaces.
< Check here to concatenate a plain(no commas) tall, "word - phrase" list!

Object Type (VW96 Schema) - Category information for search engines or directory indexers, uncludes primary key words only, no more than 180 characters.
< ObjectType (Category or Ignore)
< Major Keywords

Robots - All (do what you want) is the default behavior of most robots. If nothing is checked below, a standard "index,follow" tag will result!
All (overrides specific ones below)

Noindex Nofollow Noarchive
Noimageindex Noimageclick

None (overrides all above)

Expires - The date and time after which copies of this document should be considered 'stale'.

*Robot Revisit Interval - Suggests how often this page may be updated and would need revisiting by robots.
< Leave blank to ignore!

*Character Set - Default HTML charset is ISO-8859-1 (Western European 8-bit). Check your document for an existing <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" charset"????"> tag, if it is already present make sure you set the same type here or keep the tag your software made, and dump this one.

Language - Declare the natural language of the document. No dialect is same as all, so adding them may restrict your distribution.
(? add a typical English dialect ?)

Distribution - Distribution information of value to some search engines and directory indexers.

Rating - Simple voluntary content rating OR your (front or main page only)ICRA Pics-Label.
(? Pics-Label ?)

*Window Target: - Prevents most newer browsers from letting other websites open your pages within their frameset pages! DO NOT USE on framed pagelets!

Smart(ie) Tags: - Necessary to prevent Windows Office XP/IE6 from defacing your pages with Microsoft spam, where words and phrases on your pages get 'magically' shown as 'Smart' links to advertisers websites!

Optional, Less Common Tags: -Leave blank or ignore.

Document Type Description (DTD) - Alerts some browsers and tag validation robots of the basic IETF or W3C version rules used to compose this HTML coding. Also specify a language here. Caution: an entirely strange form of HTML syntax is required for XHTML 1.0!!
(? Insist on language ?)

Cache Control - Merely suggests to some proxy servers and web browsers not to cache copies of this document.

Base Link Target - Redirects all default (non-targeted) links to load pages into another, named window or new window. Specify the window name: (using the value "_top" is a great framebuster! Don't use "quotes".)
(?) the window name >

Shortcut Icon - Directs some Microsoft browsers to download, save and show a specific "shortcut icon". Specify both a (../)relative, (/)absolute server path or complete url and the name of the icon file:
(?) file /path/name.ico >

Special Page Entry Effects - Feature of some newer browsers, Loading 'reveal' effect is only good for tiny, simple, cacheable pages!

Special Page Exiting Effects - As above, works well when exiting any size or complexity of page. Do not use both - this is better!

Email - Somebodies contact email address!. It is wise to encode this to protect the email address from being harvested by email spammers. (eg: soandso@such[delete this].com)

Owner - Name of website owner, organization, or webmaster/designer.

Author - Name(s) of web page author(s) or last persons to edit the page.

Copyright - Insert your copyright statement and name of it's owner.

Force XHTML-compatible well 'formedness' syntax?
(Ignore if a XHTML DTD was chosen above)

Copy and Paste the following code and use it as the very top part of your page before the </head> tag appears.
Retain existing <style> or <script> elements, and any existing <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" charset"????"> tags if they are already present! (delete the one below)

Summary Report:

The W3C have decided to resurrect a new version of the old Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (V1.1) as a sort of 'official' Meta Tag standard for XHTML 1.0 DTDs. Rest assured that most search engines do not accomodate these new sorts of metadata, but many schools, libraries, and scientific search engines have always used variants of them! They are not suitable to replace most of the normal tags above, and at most, they only augment Descriptions, Keywords, Distribution, Organization, Author-related, and Document-type stuff.

You may wish to try the DC Dot Automatic Dublin Core Generator to create these DC.tags (from a page with an existing normal tag set) to augment those above! One must usually choose either the normal or the DC.tags, since robots have restricted memories and it does little good to clutter the head of your documents with both sorts!

V1.5! Future Versions:

WebTV (Repeated Keywords Report) browser platform support.

DC metadata support option (RDF or HTML) modes.
