    but just thouht you might like to know

    Firstly, Meta Tags are still used by pretty much all search engines.
    Secondly, It's hardly a big secret.
    Thirdly, It dosn't really help...
    Lastly, Would a bit of grammer really hurt?

    ooOOOOoo
    I didnt say meta tags wernt used by most search engines, i said they wernt used on google and i dont think yahoo use them either.
    I dont know who knows and who doesnt i was trying to be helpful.
    It may help it may not i was just saying...to be HELPFUL.
    Is my grammer ny better this time? Does it actually matter if i miss 1 or 2 commas and fill stops? You still get the jist of what im trying to say. Im not resitting my English A levels am i?

    But google do use them. Admittedly, they are not the main thing sites are ranked on... but still.

    I really don't think its posible to put meta tags into flash but as you prob know you could do it if you just put the flash on a page....But anyway google doesn't read meta tags (or big search engines) becuase they were abused :cry: :cry:
  • DanDan Senior Member The Royal RAM
    hmmm Can someone tell me why my sig is not working ?!?! :cry:

    Google does use meta tags! I hate it when people say taht most seacrh engines doent use them. they do.
    Just only to a very small extent.
    Even so, I would still put them in. Those 2 mins it takes may just push you up a level in the PR... ;)
  • PythonPython Forum Leader The Royal RAM
    yeah what harm can it do

    That's the only way to do it.

    Yer I said there wasn't a way for meta tags to go into flash unless... Well you know xhtml (I think it is or something with an x lol) could you use that to put meta tags in becuase with that all you do is make the flash file read the .xhtml file (to make the file just write in notepage and save as .xthml) not sure if that is just for content or somehow could be implimented into meta tags.
  • DanDan Senior Member The Royal RAM
    o btw I know this is off topic but SEbasic your sites pictures are not displaying properly
  • SEbasicSEbasic Advanced User VPS - Virtual Prince of the Server
    I know - It's a bit of a mess.

    I haven't even checked the stats on that site for like 6 months.

    Must do something with that soon. It's embarrasing
    Rave it up.
