How many types of Meta Tags are there in SEO? What are their characters limits?

[dennis123]

Hi Friends,
Some important meta tags that one must use in the webpage are:
1. Title Tag: <title>The title of the Page</title> (Unique title for your page)
Limit: Google typically displays the first 50-60 characters of a title tag, or as many characters as will fit into a 512-pixel display.

2. Description Tag: <meta name = "Description" Content="Description of the Page">
Limit: Roughly 155 Characters

3. Keyword Tag: <meta name="Keyword" Content="Your Keywords">
According to Google they didn't look at meta keywords then you will be surprised that why I am mentioning it here. It is here because 'Yahoo' search still use these in their SERP. So don't miss it because still have 28% search share so why miss these 28%.

4. Robots Tag: <meta name="robots" Content="......, ......">
The valid values for Robots Meta Tags 'Content' attribute are: "INDEX", "NOINDEX", "FOLLOW", "NOFOLLOW".

Title Tag: It contains the information about your Page's Content. It should be about 60 characters. As you could not find more than this limit in Search Engines Results.

Meta Description: It's very important & useful meta tag to describe your Page's content. It lets search engines know about the data on your Webpage. It should be limited up to 150-160 characters.

Meta Keywords: Meta Keywords includes the Keywords which suits your Webpage's Content. However, these are no more useful now. In the beginning days of SEO, these were useful & helped Websites to rank into SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).

Meta Robots: This says the search engines what to do with your Page. Whether to index it or not i.e. "index/noindex" and whether to follow the links on the page or not with the text "follow/nofollow".

(There are more than four kinds of meta tags, but some are less common or not relevant to web marketing). The four types we'll discuss here are: Meta Keywords Attribute - A series of keywords you deem relevant to the page in question. Title Tag - This is the text you'll see at the top of your browser.

As a general rule, you should aim for the following character limits within each of your meta tags: Page title – 70 characters. Meta description – 160 characters. Meta keywords – No more than 10 keyword phrases.

Meta tags are tags that placed within the head section of your code that help define the content of a web page.

It is used by Internet search Engines to display a description page in google search engine results pages

There are many types of Meta tags are:

1.Meta Title

This is one of the most important factor in SEO. You should always have a unique title tag, which contains 70 characters on every page that describes the page.

2.Meta Keywords

Meta Keywords are an example of a meta tag that doesn’t make much sense to use these days. Keywords meta tags should contain 200 characters limits.

3.Meta Description

This is useful meta tag as very simple. It should contain 150 character limits and it will explain about your website pages.
