title: SEO META Tags - HTML
body: <p>So I might be asking this in the wrong place. I figured since it <em>technically</em> does have to do with markup, it might make sense to post it here.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Issue</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have my site registered with the three major search engines - Google, Yahoo, and Bing. I have webmaster tools setup for all 3, and frequently check things like traffic, search queries, etc. Recently, I decided to go to Google and just search for some terms related to my site. A bunch of similar sites came up, but not mine. When you search for my site directly, we are the first one - so that's good. So my main issue is, we're no where to be seen when searching terms that <em>describe</em> our site, we only have the more "direct" market down.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question</strong></p>
  
  <p>How can I get these search engines to start letting these terms find my site as well? Is this only done by just creating a random META tag on each page on my website, and doing something like this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;META name="keywords" content="location, based, messaging, social, network, service, nearby, friends, community, neighborhood, local, events" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I already have some META tags on my site, but they are the ones to actually set it up and register it with those webmaster tools, I'm assuming I wouldn't do this keyword registration there.</p>
  
  <p>Now, after I set a META tag up like the one I posted above, do I kind of just wait until these search engines register everything? Is this even the best way to do this? Is this even <em>a</em> way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Updated: The meta tag was missing forward slash for closing the tag. It may be the cause the Search engines ignoring the website/page</p>
