| Question - How long should I make
my web page's Title, Description, & Keywords Meta Tag? |
| |
| Answer - Different Search Engines will read different
amounts of characters in your web page's Title Description and Keywords
Meta Tag.
As for your "Title", the Search Engines will read between
60 and 150 characters. The average number of characters in your
Title that are read by the Search Engines is 70. I always tell everyone
to write their Title using only 70 characters. Once you write your
70 character Title continue writing it until you fill up the remaining
80 characters for Search Engines that can read 150 characters in
your Title.
When it comes to writing your web page's "Description"
the Search Engines will read anywhere from 150 to 250 characters.
That is why I recommend to people that they focus on writing a good
compelling Description for their web page within the first 150 characters
of their Description Tag and then continue writing a good compelling
Description until you have used up the remaining 100 characters
that some Search Engines will read.
Many of the Search Engines on the internet never read a web pages
Keyword Meta Tag. As for the few Search Engines that still pay attention
to your Keywords Meta Tag, the largest number of keywords they will
read is 15 words. |

| Question - How Do I Get My Site
Listed on Google? |
| |
| Answer - Google is a fully automated search engine
that employs robots known as "spiders" to crawl the web
and find sites for inclusion in the Google index. Since this process
doesn't involve human editors, it's NOT necessary to submit your site
to Google in order to be included in our index. In fact, the vast
majority of sites listed aren't manually submitted for inclusion.
Google doesn't accept payment for inclusion (known as "paid
inclusion") of sites in our index, nor for improving the rank
of sites in our results. We do offer advertising opportunities adjacent
to our results, which are always clearly labeled "Sponsored
Links." The method by which we find pages and rank them as
search results is determined by many different factors, including
the PageRank technology developed by our founders, Larry Page and
Sergey Brin. |
