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.

Image
Tim Berners-Lee, pictured at CERN  (Image: CERN) The World Wide Web was Invented by Tim Berners-Lee, British scientist in 1989. The Web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world. Image source The man who started it all was Michael Aldrich. In 1979 he invented online shopping or precisely saying a teleshopping, which become ecommerce until internet.  It has been said that the idea emerged on the walk with his wife. They were talking about how nice it would be if they didn't have to waste the time doing shopping and instead the shopping could be delivered to them. So he came up with the idea to connect phone and TV and that's how he created a system which he named "teleshopping".
