Meta what ?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

This is my first post on the Prestashop forums so if I've made any newb mistakes please don't be too harsh...

Can anyone please explain briefly the difference between the following fields in Prestashop;

Meta-Title,
Meta-keywords,
Meta-Description.

I understand that they're used in SEO but I'm not sure what I should put in each one and where each would be used.

For example if I have a product as follows;

ID 1
Active (0/1) 1
Name * T0711 - Black
Categories (x,y,z...) 23
Price tax excl. or Price tax incl. £2.99
Tax rate
Wholesale price
On sale (0/1)
Reduction amount
Reduction per cent
Reduction from (yyyy-mm-dd)
Reduction to (yyyy-mm-dd) Reference #
Supplier reference # T0711
Supplier
Manufacturer
EAN13
Ecotax
Weight
Quantity
Short description T0711 – Black
Description T0711 Black Epson compatible printer cartridge
Tags (x,y,z...)
Meta-title
Meta-keywords
Meta-description
Text when in-stock
Text if back-order allowed
Image URLs (x,y,z...)
Feature

What should I put in each of the three meta fields ?

Thanks in advance.

Meta-Title

Used for the <title></title> HTML tag. This is what will appear in the top-left of your browser when you are on this page.

Meta-keywords

Used for the <meta name="keywords"> HTML tag. This must contain few pertinents words describing the current page. Search engines now seem not to care a lot about it.

Meta-Description

Used for the <meta name="description"> HTML tag. This must contain a brief description about your page. This description may be used as the snippet (little sentence) describing this page when it is in the Search Engine Result Pages.

For more details, you should consult a SEO specialized website.
