Question

Where is the best place for me to add further meta tags on my site?

Answer

In later versions of CactuShop meta description and keyword tags are included to help increase search engine rank, these tags can also be overruled with a few simple script changes. But what if you want to add further tags?

The place for additional tags is in skin template file after existing keywords meta:

<meta name="keywords" content="xxxMETAKEYWORDSxxx">

Make sure that metatags remain in the head tag. Of the others commonly in use you may see robots, this tag is fully supported but you only need it if you DO NOT want your pages indexed. This this can help to keep spiders out of the site and it will exclude you from most search engines, but it will not prevent human users from finding or accessing pages.

<meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX">

You do not need to use variations of the meta robots tag to help with your pages getting indexed. This practice is unnecessary. By default, a spider will index all web pages and then try following links from one page to another.

Other metas include author, copyright, expires, language and revisit.
