Very Confused About Meta Tags

Okay, I am really confused....

Can someone look at my site and then give me an idea of what i should put as

Meta Tag Title
Meta Tag Keywords
Meta Tag Description

for one of my pages. I am assuming we have to enter meta tags individually for each product?

My site is www. mibelloboutique.com

Re: Very Confused About Meta Tags

I think you probably know your site and your products better than anyone else here.

This is an example of the sort of thing you should be putting:

<TITLE>Stamp Collecting World</TITLE>
<META name="description" content="Everything you wanted to know about stamps, from prices to history.">
<META name="keywords" content="stamps, stamp collecting, stamp history, prices, stamps for sale">

Re: Very Confused About Meta Tags

Okay that helps....So I have to do it for each and every product page, correct?

Re: Very Confused About Meta Tags

.... but prior to doing that, look at the default behavior which is really very good. You don't get a lot of extra value for the time spent adding yet more metatags by hand to every. single. product.

Re: Very Confused About Meta Tags

What do you mean "default behavior"?

Re: Very Confused About Meta Tags

The default behavior is the meta tag content of a page PRIOR to you making any changes or customizations to it. You can see it by displaying a page you're interested in and then doing a View/Page Source (or equivalent) in your browser.
