There is a lot of debate about the continued use of meta tags within website code. Many think it is no longer used by Google etc.. to get information about your site.

The way I look at it is this; it only takes a few minutes to add the tags for each webpage you make, so you might as well include it. Better safe than sorry. Neither Google nor any other major search engine has outright come out and said don’t bother with them. So get them in there.

To find out what they meta-tags are right click ‘view source’ on most websites and you will see them at the top of the code. You don’t need to understand it all, just cut and paste the meta-tag code within the ‘head’ tags and change the details to be relevant to your webpage.

And remember the easier it is for search engines to find your crafts website and think that it is relevant the better, as you are more likely to appear higher in the search results and hence get more clicks and craft sales!!

Happy crafting, happy marketing!
