Defining a new meta tag
To define a new meta tag for a page:
1. Choose Meta Tags… from the Page menu.
2. Click Add to define a new tag. This displays a new Name and Content field, which allows you to define a new Name/Content pair.
3. Type the text you wish to appear for NAME or HTTP-EQUIV as appropriate in the Name text field.
4. Type the text you wish to appear for CONTENT in the Content text field.
5. Click OK to return to the Meta Tags dialog.
6. Either click Add to define another tag or click OK to accept the changes.
7. When you preview or publish the site, the tags you defined will be added to the HTML output for the page.
Defining the description of a page
When the search engines bring up a list of found sites that relate to the search criteria entered by a user, they often have the option to
display a description of what the site contains. If you have defined a DESCRIPTION meta tag, the contents of this are used to describe
your site in the found list. If you haven’t, then the listing may either display no information beyond the URL and page title or it may
display the first sentence or two of text from the page.
To define the description of your page:
1. Change to the page on which you wish to include the description.
2. Choose Meta Tags… from the Page menu.
3. Click Add to define a new User Variable tag.
4. For Name, type the word “description”.
5. For Content, type a sentence or two describing your site.
6. Click OK to return to the Meta Tags dialog.
7. The next time you preview or publish the page, your tags will be added
to the output. For example:
<meta name=description content=Softpress Systems, home of
Freeway Express and Pro>
Defining keywords that describe your site
In the past, keywords were recommended to be added to sites so search engines could identify terms that are relevant to the words or
phrase entered by a web user—but these days Google and Yahoo virtually ignore the keywords meta tag (possibly because they have
been abused over the years).
Some of the other search engines, however, may still take notice of
keywords, so to define keywords for a given page:
1. Change to the page on which you wish to include the keywords.
2. Choose Meta Tags… from the Page menu.
3. Click Add to define a new User Variable tag.
4. For Name, type the word “keywords”.
5. For Content, type relevant keywords, separated by commas and spaces.
6. Click OK to return to the Meta Tags dialog.
7. The next time you preview or publish the page, your tags will be added
to the output. For example:
<meta name=keywords content=Freeway,Web,Design,
Software>
Note: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a very specialist area and the search
engine companies regularly change the rules they operate by—so unfortunately
there is no way to guarantee SEO success by simply applying meta tags to your
pages. There is no substitute for creating a site with most of the text content used
as HTML text (so it can be indexed by search engines) and for it to be well written
with relevant terms.
Loading another page automatically
Using a particular meta tag, REFRESH, it is possible to cause web browsers to reload the page after a certain delay; and adding a different
URL to the meta tag allows the loading of a different page automatically.
This tag is commonly used when a popular page or site has moved to a new location. Frequently, a special page is left in the old location to
inform people of the change and asks them to update their bookmarks. This page can be used to transfer the visitor automatically to the new
page, after a preset delay.
This redirect technique is also used as a special effect, where on entering a new site, a “splash page” is displayed for a few moments
before automatically entering the main page of the site.
The easiest way to implement page redirection in Freeway is with the Timed Redirect Action (see the KnowledgeBase article at http://
www.softpress.com/kb/questions/367/), but the following is an alternative using meta tags:
