Search engine tags

@jandrOct 03.2007

I just finished my first publication of a web site. I used FP 2000 because that is what I had and it all pretty well. That is until I did a Goodle for my site. I found it ok, but the description of the site says Under Construction. How do I get the lines I want to show in a search. The site is
~~[url]~~www.fireconsulting.net[/url]. Any help, criticism, advice, etc would be appreciated
Thanks

@LeeUOct 03.2007 — #You need to add a meta description tag, e,g.:

[CODE]
 <meta name="description" content="Use this area to describe the Web site on the page itself. It will appear in the Google results.">[/CODE]

Also, be sure to give the page a good title (in the TITLE tag). That also displays in Google and is what the user sees.

@jandrauthorOct 03.2007 — #I assume I can just add that where the other meta tags are in html? I'll give it a try and see how it turns out. Thank you for the reply

@jandrauthorOct 03.2007 — #<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">

<meta name="Keywords" content="JR Consulting Group, Public Safety Assessment, Fire Department Assessment, Risk/Hazard Analysis">

<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">

<title>Home</title>

This is what I have on my home page in html, is this where I would change the title, where it says home, and then add another meta tag for content?

[CODE]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
 <html>
 <head>
 <title>Home - JR Consulting Group LLC</title>
 <meta name="keywords" content="JR Consulting Group, Public Safety Assessment, Fire Department Assessment, Risk, Hazard Analysis">
 <meta name="description" content="A description of each individual page, the title should be unique to each page too">
 </head>
 <body>
 ...
 </body>
 </html>[/CODE]

you need a DOCTYPE.
TITLE should be the first thing after <head>
titles should be unique to each page, and usually include the company name
descriptions should also be unique

this is all you really need in the <head> section of the page.

@jandrauthorOct 04.2007 — #Thank you sooooo very much, it all seems to work in preview so I'll publish and see.

Thanks again for your help
