Hi all

I am new to HTML so need a little help if possible. It's the first time i have been in this forum and this question has probablys been asked several times.

I have published my website on the net through a popular web provider. The site has an online meta tag creator and HTML coding tester. I used the tag creator to produce the following tags in my coding:

<title>Computer Repairs, Software and Hardware Upgrades and General Help in the ****** area</title>

<meta name="description" content="Need help with your PC. Is it running slow? Does it keep crashing? Let me solve your problems. I will show you what I have done so you will be able to do it yourself the next time saving you money.">

<meta name="keywords" content="PC COMPUTER REPAIRS HELP FIX SOFTWARE HARDWARE UPGARDE CHEAP ANTI-VIRUS MEMORY ">

When i run the online coding tester it says that:

1 There are not enough words in your title, it contains less than 5 words.
2 You do not have a tag for keywords.
3 Your page doesn't have any meta tags. The meta tags improve the search engines' classification of your site.

I thought i had enough info on them. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Most likely, the Search Engines just haven't updated themselves with your site's new content. Sometimes, it can take up to a month before changes like this show up in a Search Engine. Sheco is right, you need to check with the Search Engine Optimization discussion Forum.



Hope This Helps!

IIRC, Keywords should be a COMMA SEPERATED list.

Plus, it does seem like a long title. I support Keeping It Simple - remember, if you bookmark a page, the title is the name of the bookmark. 'Companyname Computer Repair' should suffice for the homepage.
