Curious meta-tag
-
Has anyone met this meta tag?
<meta name="ranking" content="Top10, Page=1" />
I imagine it has no effect but I'm curios where did it came from, i saw it on many sites
-
It's not april 1st so what's going on.
<meta name="pagerank" var="11" />
-
Yes, i know, i made the inquiry.
The curios fact is that a site with duplicate content issues and pr 3 outranks a pr 7 website for the main keyword targeted. (full domain match for both of them)
-
There was an inquiry about that site just yesterday. The site has significant issues such as it is duplicated with a www and non-www version.
-
www.comunicatedepresa.net is one of them
you can find others by a simple google search:)

I actually thought I made it up! I never actually seen anyone use it.
I have seen people use meta tags which were not valid for Google (to say the least) or people who were convinced the meta keywords tag had value. I very sarcastically advised a similar meta tag to the one you are displaying.
You've seen it on many sites? I would think the same person worked on all those sites. It is hard to imagine multiple people using that tag.

haha we wish that were a real tag!

Can I reuse meta description tag on another site?
Hi....lets say i sell widgets and on my site i have redWidgets, blueWidgets and greenWidgets. Each of these widget page's has a meta description tag that seems to help click through. I now have a different site that would like to do a right up about each widget and will dedicate a independent page to each widget. Can i safely provide them with the original meta descriptions (from my original site) for each widget i have on my site to then use on these "right up" pages (as they seem to work well and are informative of the subject matter). I am not sure if this is a seo issue or not. I would think not but would appreciate any input. thank you

Long Meta Titles on Dynamic Pages
What to do with long meta titles on press release pages. Unlike other pages on the site, press release pages have no physical value and are dynamically created picking data from the database. Such pages i notice are automatically picking the URL/H1 as meta title and meta description. How to shorten such meta titles and descriptions? Do such errors (related to dynamically created pages) matter? Tanveer

Title Tag duplication.
Hi Guys/Gals, We do a lot of work in a very competitive space (personal injury) and are having an internal debate on the best way to implement title tags for new sites. We understand that keywords, title tags, etc., don't possess the power they once did, but we have yet to see conclusive proof of this in our space. The vast majority of competitors still rank very well for keyword focused content, title tags, etc., while having average link profiles and little content. We write a lot of content for our clients and want to know if someone can offer their opinion on the question that follows this example: "Top 5 Injuries Caused by T-Bone Collisions | Indiana Accident Lawyer" Would it seem repetitive or manipulative to construct title tags as shown, always placing "Indiana Accident Attorney" or "Indianapolis Accident Lawyer," or similar of at the end of each title tag? Thanks, gang!

Meta Descriptions - Duplicate Content?
I have created a Meta Description for a page that is optimized for SERPS. If I also put this exact content on my page for my readers, would this be considered duplicate content? The meta description and content will be listed on the same page with the same URL. Thanks for your help.
