Can anyone tell me if the order of the tags matter. Title, Keyword, description and robot.

Welcome to the forums clioreece! :hi:

I don't really know if it makes a diff but the title should be first. This is my preference:

title
description
keywords
robots tag

None of it is as important as the actual content on the page.

Code on each page begins:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title> Your Title Here </title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="EN-GB">
<meta name="Keywords" content=" your, keyword, list, here ">
<meta name="Description" content=" Your Description Here. ">
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE">
</head>





Of the en-gb part, the first two letters come from the code list in ISO 639 and the last two letters come from the code list in ISO 3166.

See also ISO 4217 for codes for representing currency, and then ISO 8601 for formats for date and time.



Code within the page:

I use: <a href="somepage.html" title="some text here"></a> for links.

I use <img src="somefile.png" alt="some text"> for images.

Headings are done with <hx></hx> tags, properly used from <h1></h1> downwards.



I aim for several keywords per page, and optimise each page, title, description, etc, individually per page for those.
