3. In the top window, type in a brief description of your site. Although
the description can be any length, the first ten words or so are the
most important.
4. In the next window, enter any number of keywords (separated by
commas) that you think fairly categorize your site. Put yourself in the
place of a potential visitor. What keywords might they enter if they
were searching for exactly what your site or page has to offer?
5. Set a language code for your site from the drop-down menu to identify
your site's language use. Most user's Internet search engines will
permit language specific searches for web pages, so your site will
show in search results according to its language code setting.
Excluding pages from indexing (robots meta tags)
A robots meta tag can be used by search engine robots to control how they
access the site or page. The whole site (and pages) can be set to be indexed/not
indexed, page hyperlinks followed/not followed, or any combination thereof.
Site-wide settings are made by checking Index pages on this site and Follow
links from pages or as overrides on specific page properties.
To enable robot Meta Tag generation:
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. Select the Search Engine tab and check the Create robots meta tags
option (for a page you'll need to override site-wide settings).
3. (For the site) Use the two suboptions to allow or prevent search
engines indexing the entire site (check/uncheck Index pages on this
site option) or to allow or prevent indexing of all pages linked from an
indexed page (check/uncheck Follow links from pages option).
OR
(For the page) Check Override site search engine settings and
Create robots meta tag, then check/uncheck the equivalent
suboptions for the specific page.
