Meta Follow Tag - 12th of July 2009
Today I am going to approach the “follow” meta tags and internal linking. The reason for this is when google indexes my Journal page it will follow the links in the page, making sure that the journal content will be indexed. Google already ackonowledges that I do new entries into my journal but they fail to crawl the content. The fact that is as the content in the journal entries are relevant to Search Engine Optimisation and even though I did submit my sitemap to Google, and it should help me get google index the journal entries, making my links as follow, give me more of a chance of being “crawled”. So in my Journal and my Entry pages I decided to add this:
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
The next step I want to talk about is Internal Linking. What are Internal Links? Internal Links are links in your webpage that link to another page in your domain. We will be using In-Context Links. The reason for doing this is to add SEO Value. In-Context Links are internal links that are shown in the middle of a page. The most frequent approach are linking keyphrases, such as SEO. As it can be seen I've been doing the exact same thing in this Log Entry, and hopefully, it should increase my ranking.
