Meta tags have two properties, they are the Http-equiv property and the Name property, different properties have different parameter values, these different parameter values to achieve different Web page features.
1, Name property
The name attribute is mainly used to describe the Web page, and the corresponding attribute value of Content,content is mainly convenient for search engine robot to find information and classify information.

Second, meta tags of the function
We've covered some of the basics of the META tags, and then we'll take a look at the common features of the META Tags:
1, help the homepage by the major search engine login
A very important function of meta tags is to set keywords to help your home page to be logged on by major search engines, and to increase the number of visits to your site. In this function, the most important is the keywords and description settings. Because according to the search engine work principle, the search engine first sends the robot to automatically retrieve the keywords and the decription in the page, and joins it to own database, then then according to the keyword density will sort the website. Therefore, we have to set a good keyword to improve the page search click-through. Let me give you an example for your reference:
After setting these keywords, the search engine will automatically add these keywords to the database and sort them according to the density of the keywords.
2, define the use of the language of the page
This is the most common feature of META tags, and when making a Web page, we see it in pure HTML code, it is to define the language of your Web page, when viewers visit your Web page, the browser will automatically identify and set the language of the page, if you set the page is GB code, and the viewer does not install GB code, The Web page will only render the browser default language set by the viewer. Similarly, if the page is English, then charset=en. The following is a representative example:
The code indicates that the language of the Web page is set to GB code.
3, automatically refresh and point to the new page
If you want to make your Web page in an unattended situation and automatically access the specified Web page within a specified time, you can use the META tags to automatically refresh the page's functionality. Let's look at a piece of code here:
〈meta http-equiv=″refresh″content=″2; url=http://www.root.net″〉
This code can make a current page in 2 seconds automatically to go to the Http://www.root.net page, this is the Meta refresh, in the content, 2 represents the set time (in seconds), and the URL is the specified time after the automatic connection of the Web page address.
4, the implementation of Web page conversion animation effect
Using meta tags, we can also animate the moment we enter the page or leave the page, as long as we add the following code between the tags in the page's HTML code:
Once the above code is added to a Web page, we will see some special effects when entering and leaving the page, this function is in fact the same as the format/page transition in FrontPage2000, but we should note that the added page cannot be a frame page;
5. Web Page Grading Evaluation
IE4.0 the above version of the browser can prevent browsing some restricted sites, the reason the browser will automatically identify certain sites is restricted, because the site is already set up in the META tags of the site, and the level of evaluation by the United States Rsac, that is, the Entertainment Committee rating agencies, If you need to evaluate your own site, you can connect to the site http://www.020webseo.com/, submit the form as required, then RSAC will provide a section of meta code for you to copy to your website. The following is a sample code example:
〈meta Http-equiv=″pics-label″
content=′ (Pics-1.1″http://www.rsac.org/ratingsv01.html″
L Gen True Comment″rsaci North America Server″
For″http://www.rsac.org″
On″2001.08.16t08:15-0500″
R (N 0 s 0 v 0 L 0)) ′〉
6, control the page buffer
Meta tags can set the time when the page expires, that is, when you set up browsing in Internet Explorer browser first look at the page in the local buffer, then when browsing a page, and the local buffer sometimes, then the browser will automatically browse the buffer in the page, The browser will not be able to get a new page until the time set in meta is due. For example, the following code indicates that the Web page expires January 12, 2001 18:18 18 seconds.
〈meta Http-equiv=″expires″content=″friday, 12-jan-2001 18:18:18 gmt″〉

When you want your visitors to refresh the icon for your ad every time, or to refresh your counter every time, disable the cache. Usually HTML files do not need to disable caching, for pages such as ASP, you can use disable caching, because every time you see the page is dynamically generated on the server, the cache is meaningless. If the page expires, the saved cookie will be deleted.
