Book:\nInteresting, the 2nd link is the Site Builder manual and doesn't say anything about it.  \n\nSwitch to Nvu--best free one I've tried.

Your meta tags are basically keywords to help search engines find your sites.  So if it's a blog, for example, you could put in your name, the words "blog" "diary", etc.  \n\nIt's not really necessary any more, since search engines look through the whole site now, but it is done.

Here is how to add the metatags on your pages. They are up at the top of your source code.\n\n<html>\n<head>\n<title>INSERT YOUR WEBSITE TITLE HERE</title>\n<META NAME="description" CONTENT="PUT A DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTENT OF THE PAGE (1 SENTENCE BLURB IS OK)">\n<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="PUT THE KEYWORDS OF THE PAGE EXAMPLE: ecommerce, start an online store, ebay store,consult your guides, ask an expert, get business advice, business advice, business help, free business advice, free business consultation">\n</head>

Based on the way I'm reading the question, the answer above is incorrect.  Assuming you submitted your site to Yahoo!, it will start crawling your site periodically. If, in a week, you change the items you are selling on your webpage, the Yahoo! search engine will find this the next time it examines your site.\n\nIf your products were part of the description you provided to Yahoo! then you may be better served to update your entry. If they were on the webpage itself, you are fine.

Metatags are what you put in the header of your website.\n\nThere are several types of metatags, and these are\n\nTitle = the title of your website\nKeywords = the keywords of your website\nDescription = the description of your website\n\nFor example\n\n<html>\n<head>\n<title>Widgets.com - Your Online Store for All Blue Widgets</title>\n<META name="keyword" content="widget, blue widget, store, small blue widget">\n<META name="description" content="Widgets.com sells every blue widget item on the planet">\n</head>

there is no set time, all major search engines are constantly combing the net for updated sites, it can take from hours to days.  Best practice is to use search tags that are unique to you (if possible) try not to put your tags within frames in the main page (search engines like plain html on the main page) and if you are desperate for listings consider paying fro them, for a business this could be worthwhile (but remember only certain key words can be listed).  Hope this helps :)

Obviously, You are not using HTML, XHTML, etc. \nOpen the page in question in Site Builder > Format (should be in the toolbar) > Page Properties > click the boxes for Center Page and Layered HTML.\nGood Luck

This is a very in depth question, and the best way you're going to be able to succeed in doing this is by browsing some of the resources available on the internet. Try www.seochat.com and www.webmasterworld.com, they both have great information. You will also be able to find information on the Meta tags on those sites as well, but generally you just want to include information that is related to your site. Meta tags don't have a great impact on search engine rankings anymore, so it isn's as important as it used to be to get them perfect.

Hi,\nWithout actually seeing your site, it's hard to pinpoint the problem, but these troubleshooting ideas might help:\n \nFirst make sure your confirmation page is published and available on the Web. You should be able to see your page at http://www.yourdomain.com/blank.html (replace "yourdomain.com" with your own domain name). If you don't see your page, be sure to republish it to avoid the page not found error.\n\nYou should also make sure your form and confirmation pages are saved in the same directory. You didn't mention that you'd created any subdirectories, so this shouldn't be an issue for you, but if your form is saved in the main directory of your site (in other words, you can see it at http://www.yourdomain.com/page2.html) and your "thank you" page is saved in a subdirectory (so you view it at, say, http://www.yourdomain.com/subdirectory/blank.html), the confirmation page won't work. You'll need to republish it to the main directory of your site. \n\nFinally, be sure you've set your form properties correctly. Click on a blank part of your form, then click Enter on your keyboard to see the Form Properties dialog. In the "Confirmation page:" field, you should see "blank.html." If you don't see that page, click the "Browse" button to select the right page. See the Help Center for a picture of what this screen looks like: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/sitebuilder2/forms/forms-14.html.\n\nIf none of these ideas solves your problem, please be sure to contact our Customer Care team:\n\nhttp://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/contactus \n\nWith some more details about your site, I bet they'll be able to help.\n\nGood luck!\n\nJen\nYahoo!

There is no "name" tag. If you are referring to HTML tags, it's the title tag you should be concerned with, but that's not all...\n\nIf you want your web site to rank high in Google search results do this:\n1. Jot down all the words or phrases that you would expect people searching for your web site to type into the search box.\n2. Write clean, informative content or edit your existing content to include some of those keywords in context.\n3. Add/edit your TITLE tag text to include some of those keywords as well, but don't just make a list. It should read plainly. Example:  \n\nMy Web Site - Information about keyword and key phrase for keyword\n\n4. Look for other web sites similar to your own and ask them to add a link to you on their site. Maybe in return you can tell them you will add a link on your site.\n5. Keep repeating and adjusting 1-4 constantly until your search rankings improve for the words and phrases you came up with.\n\nAnd, if all you're concerned about is Google and Yahoo don't bother with META tags.

Allow me to answer this question because I AM on the top #1 spot in three different categories (first names, nursery rhymes, blonde jokes).\n\nCONTENT -- \nFirst and foremost, the content you have on your site is the most important and most crucial thing over anyting else that you can do to your site. What I advise my clients to do is to actually THINK like a search engine or if that is too abstract, think like someone who speaks a different language. \n\nAlthough search engines are getting much better at figuring out exactly what it is that is on the page, remember it is often impossible for them to decipher Java, Javascript, Flash, and other non-HTML components. This is NOT to say don't use them, just use them when they are to be used appropriately.\n\nBecause search engines ARE getting better at figuring out what is on a page, spelling and grammar are also very important. The rule of thumb is no more than three misspellings and no more than three gramatical errors on a page. Sentences should be of short to medium length and paragraphs should also be rather short.\n\nDO NOT COPY OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK. The search engines can penalize a site heavily for plagiarism.\n\nTAGS\n\nTitle Tags -- The most important of all tags is the Title tag. This is what shows up on the bars on the bottom of your computer screen. Most people make the mistake of putting their company name in the Title Tag and that is the worst thing to do (other than putting no tag at all). A Title Tag should be short and to the point and tell what the page is about and if you want to add your company name then add it at the END of the title tag not at the beginning.\n\nMeta Tags -- Meta tags were how search engines would know what was on a page... many years ago. However, with that said it is important that Meta tags are still added to your site and more importantly there are new meta tags (more than just description and keywords) that should be added to the web site such as content type and content language.\n\nMeta Description -- Meta description should start out with the SAME thing your TITLE tag says and then go into more detail. \n\nMeta Keywords -- Meta keywords are words used to describe what is in your page. First use keywords that are in the title and the description first. Then use keywords that are in the content of the page. DO NOT try to spam the search engines by using keywords that are not relevant to your content.\n\nAlt Tags -- With the advent of XHTML, ALT tags for images are now REQUIRED. The Alt tag is used for people who have their images turned off so it is important to have in the alt tag exactly what the image is but also expand on what it is. An example would be a HOME button. Instead of just having HOME as the Alt Tag, use Home -- Site Name.com. \n\nI have noticed that search engines love geography and it is good to put that in there whenever appropriate. If your company is in Kansas City, MO then put those in the Content and in the Tags.\n\nLINKS\n\nHaving links that send people to sites relevant to your site is always a good practice. People ask me where I get links and how do I get people to link to my site. The answer is very simple. First I ask. I write e-mails (NOT SPAM) to sites asking if they wish to reciprocate links with me and I also have on some of my pages a "Link to this Page" button so that web site owners can do it on their own.\n\nThere is great debate as to whether links to other sites that are not of the same category help, hurt, or are indifferent. From my ten years experience I have found that appropriate links DO NOT hurt your web site and could very well help in some instances.\n\nPRIVACY POLICY\n\nI won't go into much detail here but make sure you have one. So many people forget this and it is extremely important. You will NOT find a major web page that does not have a Privacy Policy attached to it.\n\nTRAFFIC\n\nObviously the more traffic you have coming to your web site the better. Not only ar
