Some of the things search engines grade a website for is quality. Quality means a website that caters both to the search engines AND to the user. The later, which we will discuss in a later post, has to do with each webpage's setup, which has to be both functional and pleasing to the eye.
Now, search engine wise quality means having well written and tidy html, css and any other elements that populate the website code. Part of that is drawing a detailed picture of the website in terms search engines understand and that's were meta tags come in. I discussed the 'keyword' meta tag in my first post and now I will introduce you to the most important of them.
Attribute | Value | Description |

http-equiv | content-type content-style-type X-UA-Compatible expires set-cookie others | Provides an HTTP header for the information in the content attribute. |

name | description | It's the introduction to your webpage search engines will see AND display in users' searches, thus helping users decide whether your webpage is right for them. |
name | keywords | It's the keywords your website will associated with and search engines will grade its performance against... |
name | robots googlebot slurp msnbot | Specifies the webpages status regarding all, or particular search engines. |
scheme | format/URI | Specifies a scheme to be used to interpret the value of the content attribute. |
dir | rtl ltr | Specifies the text direction for the content in an element |
lang | language_code | Specifies a language code for the content in an element |
xml:lang | language_code | Specifies a language code for the content in an element |
And there's many more tags that will help define your website page per page if you have to.
As stated earlier, questions and comments will be tolerated... have a nice day!
