I'm coding a meta tag generator. I have put in what tags I use myself but am nw asking you, what tags should I add? Just post the tag in tag format


<meta name="foo" content="foo">

or however it is. Please also include either a list of all possible choices or a list of all words you can use it it.

Hi carbonize,

I've messed around with meta tag generators in the past, have a look at this page (http://www.bite-back.com/metatag-generator.html) for some possible additional meta tags.

I would avoid using the robots 'revisit-after' tag, this is generally frowned upon, as bots are often on a predetermined schedule and the instruction can delay or hinder future indexing.

Hope that helps

Paul

hmm... you got me thinking now, maybe I should update this page! ;-)

Damn I feel inadequate now. I don't want to use javascript and mine doesn't display a tag if there was nothing put in it :p I may add some of yours or I may go off and sulk.

I only made it as a way to practise my PHP.

LOL! Don't take it too badly!

Server side scripting with PHP or ASP is definitely the way to go with any code generator.

Also a very neat way to attract extra visitors to a site... so don't give up on it just yet carbonize! ;-)

Actually it's part of a grand plan to finally do soemthing with a domain I own but haven't done anything with. I own www.sites-designed.com but never got round to doing anything with it. Am now thinking of making it a collection of webmaster tools, links to resources, and a database of webdesigners stating their location and what they can do (ie PHP, Flash, ASP, Perl, Graphic design etc). I just need to get round to coding the database PHP and designing the site I guess lol.
