This tag is defined by Netscape and is designed to help the crawler
indexing only the wanted pages. It gives the documents a set of
restrictions that the crawler must follow. It also provides the
crawler with important words and a summary shown
When using SiteBuilder the meta data for keywords and description
is stored in the meta data for each page. It is necessary to put
<meta> tags in the template for this information to reach any
search engine. See the example for information about how to do this.
Attributes
- name=robots
- The argument robots lets the crawler know that there
will be a restriction imposed on its indexing of the page it currently
is indexing.
- content=all,none,index,noindex,follow,nofollow
-
These are the restrictions that will be imposed on the crawler. The
restrictions can be mixed and should be given as a comma-separated
list.
- all
- This is the default setting, telling the crawler
that there are no restrictions. Lets the crawler index all words and
follow all new links found. This works the same as "index,follow".
- none
- Tells the crawler to ignore the page, and not
retrieve and new links from it. This works in the same way as
combining "noindex, nofollow".
- index
- Index this page
- noindex
- Do not index this page.
- follow
- Follow all new links found on this page.
- nofollow
- Do not follow any new links found on this
page.
- name=keyword
-
- content=keyword1[,keyword2,...]
-
Gives the crawler a comma-separated list of the most important words
in the document. It is recommended to use this tag as much as possible
as the probability of a successful search is greatly improved.
- name=description
-
- content=Summary of page content..
-
Meta descriptions are used as page summaries when presenting search
results. If no meta description is found, IntraSeek will create a
summary from the text that appears on top of the page.
A good use for meta descriptions could be to avoid the text from
navigation interfaces at the top of the pages, which would otherwise
become the summary.
Example
<sb-output file>
<title>#title#</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="#keywords#">
<meta name="description" content="#description#">
</sb-output>
