I am developing a blog post website, where each post will be about some location. Can I use geo meta tags to tag a post with that location? In this example, a post would be about New York.Are those tags made to be used like this or just to tell a crawler that my website generally is from some region?<meta name=geo.placename content=New York /><meta name=geo.position content=x;x /><meta name=geo.region content=usa /><meta name=ICBM content=x,x />
Using 'geo.??' meta tags to geo-tag a blog post
html;meta tags;geotagging
If you want to use these geo tags in HTML5 documents, the relevant definition comes from https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/MetaExtensions, where it says:[] to which the page is relatedAs specifications, it lists:https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-daviel-html-geo-tag-08http://geotags.com/geo/geotags2.htmlThe expired draft (from 2007) Geographic registration of HTML documents clarifies in the section Applicability:The geographic position given is associated with the resource described by the HTML document, not with the physical location of the document [], or the location of the company responsible for publishing or hosting the document.The geotags.com page Geo Tag Elements clarifies in the section Notes:The tags describe the position of the resource described on the page, for instance a beach or restaurant, not the company hosting the page, the company managing the resource, or the server hosting the pageSo following the interpretation from both specifications (tl;dr): If your page is about New York, using geo tags referencing New York is appropriate.
