Meta Tags

[Shannon]

I don't really understand this Meta Tag stuff. That's the
search engine and title stuff, right? What do I need to
have in there that I can get a good spot on a search
engine?

Here's my link, so if someone can take a look at my page
and help out, it's greatly appreciated...

My first webpage was through AOL and their site builder a
couple years ago and it was pretty crappy (not like my
new one isn't-haha), but if you did a search on Google at
the time, it would be the 2nd or 3rd page to be listed.

Now that I've gone through Comcast and been using
Frontpage, it's on something like the 26th page in Google.

Thanks,
Shannon

Add a keywords meta tag to the head section
<meta name="Keywords" content="with, the, keywords, here, separated, by, commas, and, a,
space">

The problem is though, your using frames and lots of images so there's very little text in
you pages. Search engines are indexing more and more on page titles and actual page text
content and less and less on keyword tags since keyword tags became so abused they were
worthless.
