    I am pasting hereunder the HTML codes. Would anybody be kind enough to guide me the proper placement of the Keywords and Description of the site. Which other two meta names after </style> can be used for? Should "Microsoft FrontPage 5.0" and "FrontPage.Editor.Document" be deleted when inserting the keywords and description?

    <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
    <meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
    <style>
    <!--
    span.MsoHyperlink
    {color:blue;
    text-decoration:underline;
    text-underline:single;}
    -->
    </style>
    <meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="indust 1111, default">
    <meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tlb, default">
    </head>

    Thanking you in anticipation.

    Regards,

    Sajjad

    Hi Sajjad,

    You seem to be missing a <html> and <head> tag at the top of your page.

    The meta tags can go anywhere between <head> and </head>.

    You can delete the Frontpage tags if you want to, they aren't beneficial in anyway. I'd personally remove them so noone knew I used Frontpage :)

    Alos remove the other Microsoft tags. And ideally put your CSS (Style) in an external file.

    Put your meta tags earlier in the header section, the style stuff can come at the end.

    Frontpage uses the theme references so you cannot get rid of them. It MIGHT use the other Microsoft references as well to recognise a document it has worked on. Generally, I would advise removing all such content and focusing on things that help sell your site. In particular:

    title - different one for every page, name of company at end if at all, use keywords from the page in the title.

    keywords - not too many

    description - short and too the point with keywords, do not use lots of commas/full stops.

    This site uses:
    Code: 
    <META Name="keywords" Content="business, message board, chat, discuss, discussion, forum, e-business,ebusiness,ecommerce,e-commerce, business uk, uk business, britain, british, small business, businesses, small, sme, SME, e-commerce forum, ecommerce forum">

<META Name="description" Content="UK Business Forums - A free UK business forum, UK e-commerce forum, business advice, discussion, chat, networking and meeting other business people in the UK.">

    Hello ACF

    Meta tags these days do not mean much. As now must search engines will only spider your description and title tags. Make sure these tags explain what you you offer and what you are about.

    Google will gather your key words from your description. Also try to put as much of your description into your main index.php/asp/html file. Also try to BOLD your keywords.

    Just a few tips.

    Best of luck.
