Advantages and disadvantages of Meta Tags

Image
Meta‐tags have many advantages for Web indexing and also some disadvantages. There is only a framework for meta‐tags in HTML, and nothing that defines exactly what meta‐tags exist and how they should be applied (Henshaw, 1999). Undeniable meta tags are important but when they are written incorrectly they can do more harm than good. A bad setup of a meta tag, either by mistake or lack of knowledge, can considerably damage the entire visibility of the website. Their use does not guarantee that the page will be given top billing within a search engine’s list of results (Guenther, 1999). However, currently meta‐tags are the only way to add controlled language and subject indexing to Web pages during creation (Humphreys, 1999).  References: Alimohammadi, D., 2003. Meta‐tag: a means to control the process of web indexing. Online Information Review, 27(4), pp.238-242.

Understanding Meta Tags

Mata Tags are the very important part in the SEO. Every website has them and they determine their search optimization. They are a piece of code that is only visible in HTML. Meta tags are snippets of code that tell search engines important information about your web page, such as how they should display it in search results. They also tell web browsers how to display it to visitors. (Hardwick, 2022) Meta tags are the word which a person type in the search bar when looking for information.  To make it more visual let's have a look at Ikea.com Mata Tags (Ikea 2023) Mata charset  attribute sets the character encoding of an HTML document. It is extremely important that you explicitly declare the encoding of every HTML document; failing to do so will cause browsers to guess the encoding, which can lead to cross-site scripting attacks if they guess incorrectly. Setting the character encoding should be done in the Content-Type http header, but can also be set with the <meta charset>
