Meta Elements

Meta elements are a simplistic and useful means for providing information about the content of your Web site. They are used extensively by Web search engines such as Google© or Yahoo© as well as other online tools. Meta elements are placed within the <head> element of your HTML document. Below is an example of a simple keywords meta element and description meta element.

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<meta name="description" content="My department is the best!">

<meta name="keywords" content="Central Michigan University, CMU, CMICH, Mid West University, college, university, chippewas, maroon and gold, mount pleasant, central, tuition guarantee">

<title>Your Department | Central Michigan University</title>
