What is a meta tag?

Meta tags or keywords are (hidden) HTML elements on a website, and they contain information about that particular website. Meta elements could also be considered tags that describe the website's contents. Even though this information is part of the website, it is invisible to its users.

Meta tags are still being used by search engines, in order to accurately categorize websites. In the past, metatags were reckoned a "secret weapon" that should help websites to be listed as high as possible in the search engines, but meanwhile the text content is what they primarily concentrate on (the content that is actually visible by users), while meta tags are largely being ignored.

Adding Meta Tags

You can add meta tags that appear on all your pages or on individual ones only.

Either way, you need to enter a content summary (a meta description - short, but full sentence) and one or more page keywords (separated by commas).

JimdoPro

JimdoPro users can add meta tags and meta description for each page of the site individually. This can be helpful for search engines trying to find and categorize your pages.

JimdoFree

JimdoFree users set their meta tags and descriptions "site-wide," i.e. for all the pages within their site at once.
