Meta-tags are an important addition to any web site. Search engines scan the web and use their information below hyper-links in search results. If a site has no meta-tags the text displayed in search results could be undesirable.

One easy way to make meta-tags is to use this website that will write the code for you. Just take the code produced and put it in the header of your home page.

To test your site, you can use this site . It will read the meta-tags from your site. Please note that the site is in French. If you type your site in, and it is not found, try adding a slash to the end of the URL.
