Check your META tags

**Smoge** · 03-03-2005

aeDating, as supplied, does not have complete META tags - which CAN BE (sometimes) important to your results on the search engines.

If you don't have the KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION and other metatags, then you should consider adding them.

You can do a view source on your site (in your web browser) and see what your META tags are.

You should see something like this at the top: (mine, as an example)

<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="china, web, party, chinawebparty, chinese, foreigner, english, chat, bbs, forum, personals, dating, nanjing, dating, marriage, relationships, friendship, sex">
<meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="Where chinese and foreigners meet for language exchange, friendship, relationships, and more!">
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX,FOLLOW">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="1 days">
<meta name="distribution" content="Global">
<meta name="rating" content="General">

These are supposed to be in index.html?

No, you put these in your template files (tmpl_act_page.html , for example). You should add them to all of the template files that have a <head></head> section.

Of course, you will want to change the values in KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION to match your site.

Put it under the javascript code. For example:

--></script>
<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="china, web, party, chinawebparty, chinese, foreigner, english, chat, bbs, forum, personals, dating, nanjing, dating, marriage, relationships, friendship, sex">
<meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="Where chinese and foreigners meet for language exchange, friendship, relationships, and more!">
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX,FOLLOW">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="1 days">
<meta name="distribution" content="Global">
<meta name="rating" content="General">
</head>
