WebPlus Essentials User Guide - Serif

Developing Sites and Pages 63
Whether you are using Meta tags, robots, or sitemaps independently or in
combination, WebPlus makes configuration simple. As these settings can be
established or modified for the whole site (Site Properties; Search Engine tab)
any newly created page will adopt site's search engine settings. If you change the
site settings, all web pages will update to the new settings automatically.
However, you can override the site's settings on a specific web page (Page
Properties; Search Engine tab) at any time. The page's override means that
subsequent changes to site settings will always be ignored.
Using search engine descriptor Meta Tags
Although they're optional, if you want to increase the likelihood that your
website will be "noticed" by major web search services, you should enter Meta
Tag search engine descriptors. Search services maintain catalogues of web
pages, often compiled through the use of "crawlers" or other programs that
prowl the web collecting data on sites and their content. By including descriptive
information and keywords, you'll assist these engines in properly categorizing
your site. You can enter descriptors for the site as a whole and/or for individual
pages. For example, for a simple ornithological site you could have the
following descriptors, reflecting the content of your site or page, e.g.
Description
Keywords Birds, America,
Audubon
Site Properties Page Properties
American Birds Web Egret and Heron species page
Cattle Egret, Blue Heron, Greenbacked
Heron
It's a good idea to plan which descriptors are used for the site and pages. If set, a
site's descriptors will complement page-specific descriptors.
To enter search engine descriptors:
1. (For the site) Choose Site Properties... from the File menu.
OR
(For a page) Right-click the page in the workspace or Site tab and
choose Page Properties... (or choose the item from the Edit menu).
2. Click the dialog's Search tab.
