Hi
I'm hoping someone can help. I'm new to this and am struggling with adding meta tags to my pages that are assigned to a template. This is what I currently have an I'd like some advice on whether or not its correct.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!--[/URL] InstanceBegin template="/Templates/grahams.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
<head>
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="header" --><title>Grahams Roofing</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="Keywords" content="roofing, slating, tiling, roofing contractors, roofer leeds, roofing contractors leeds, roof slating, roof tiling, tile roofing, roofing contractors yorkshire, grahams, graham's" />  
  <meta name="Description" content="Roofing contractor from leeds specialising in slating roofing tiling." /> 
  <meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX, FOLLOW" />
  <style type="text/css">
<!--
.style3 {
	font-family: tahoma;
	font-style: italic;
	font-weight: bold;
}
.style4 {
	font-size: small;
	font-family: tahoma;
}
.style6 {font-family: tahoma}
-->
  </style>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

Its been up there about 12 months but if i do searches in google on keywords it doesnt get picked up, leading me to believe I've done it wrong.

Ideally, I'd like to add different keywords to my different pages but not sure how to. The above seems to suggest the keywords are assigned to the template, not the pages.

Any help would be welcome as i'm really confused.

Why don't you simply look at your posted pages and see if the metatags are there?

They are but each page is within a template so I dont know if they are part of the page or the template.

Someone just told me using meta tags is useless nowadays anyway.
 
Hi Cheech
They arent near the top of the rankings are they?
