Mobile Search Engine Optimization - How to use metatxt
(Page 4 of 4 )
The simplest way to add metatxt to a site is to use the online generator at gomobileseo. This simple four-step tool needs to be fed with relevant information, such as the site's main URL, any URLs that refer to general mobile content or to content aimed at specific devices such as smart phones, and the URLs of any other content relevant to metatxt such as RSS feeds, podcasts and video podcasts. It will also accept the URL of a sitemap, and ask you to specify your geographical location.
Once this information is fed into the generator it will return the metatxt file in plain text format to the supplied email address. The publisher can examine the file, and if the content is satisfactory, can copy it directly into the site's root directory, where it will become available to any web tool that can make use of it.
If the metatxt file isn't satisfactory, the publisher can set about optimizing the site with the knowledge that any modifications are based on reliable information about which areas need to be improved. This shared insight by developers and crawlers into the inner workings of the site can only help to remove the sense of working in the dark that bedevils so many attempts to optimize sites for search engines.
Where next?
Given the apparent inevitability that mobile devices will occupy an increasingly large proportion of Internet space, no content publisher can afford to ignore the implications and requirements of this. By taking the need to cater to mobile users seriously, publishers can ensure that their sites are up to speed as the Internet adapts to the changing habits and preferences of its users.
While the desktop Internet isn't about to disappear, a whole new category of users with their own content and search requirements is growing up alongside it, providing an array of new commercial opportunities. Publishers can only put themselves in a position to grasp these opportunities by understanding the new demands that this places not just on how their content is delivered, but on the content itself.
