There has to be a better meta tag generator out there (or at least a better way to get people to see your site). All the ones I have come across ask you to input keywords for your meta tag, but that's not what I had in mind for a meta tag generator. What I had in mind for a meta tag generator would be something that looks at the document and outputs the keywords from that. I tried to do this myself with JavaScript (<A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> or under Programmers -&gt; Languages -&gt; JavaScript, it should still be there), but I ran into problems in trying to do so. Does anyone have any suggestions? <p>REH<br><a href=mailto:hawkdogg@crosswinds.net>hawkdogg@crosswinds.net</a><br><a href= by Linux</a><br>Learn Linux and Leave out the Windows :)
 
I am not sure how this could work. How could the program differentiate between the real keywords and just extraneous text? I can see how you could filter our words like &quot;and, the, of&quot; and such, But you would still have an unruly mess when finished, with words relating nothing at all to your site. I still believe the best way to do it, is to do it by hand, listing exactly what your site is about, using the keywords closest to its description.<br>
<br>
Another Idea, is to use a Thesaurus to look up your descriptions, you could then use all the synonyms, which improve your odds of being found. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Try submitting a meta-tag free page to a search engine....the search engines (good ones) <i>already</i> do just that....they look through the page & doc a few keywords that the program thinks would apply.....what's the purpose in having a program to generate meta tags that are often of no better quality than what the search engine can come up with w/o any tags? <p>-Robherc<br><a href=mailto:robherc@netzero.net>robherc@netzero.net</a><br><a href= shared.freeservers.com/searchmaster.html>SearchMaster Interface...11-in-1</a><br>Wanting to learn Assembler; please e-mail me any tutorials or links for it that are useful to you :-)
