What Are Meta Tags?

The word meta means information about. Meta Tags were created early on to provide concise information about a website. Meta tags list information about the web page, such as the author, keywords, description, type of document, copyright, and other core information.
This is an example of a meta tag for description:

<meta name="description" content="This is the

description sentence or short paragraph about

the article or post." />

The most common meta tags examples include:

<meta name="resource-type" content="document" />

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=US-ASCII" />

<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-us" />

<meta name="author" content="Harriet Smith" />

<meta name="contact" content="harrietsmith@harrietsmith.us" />

<meta name="copyright" content="Copyright (c)1997-2004

Harriet Smith. All Rights Reserved." />

<meta name="description" content="Story about my dog

giving birth to puppies." />

<meta name="keywords" content="stories, tales, harriet, smith,

harriet smith, storytelling, day, life, dog, birth, puppies, happy" />
