catfish Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) I just came across a website and saw these meta tags in the code. Curious what they mean. Does anyone know? Edited July 26, 2009 by catfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I don't think anyone can answer this exactly for you -- it'll depend on what the author had in mind. It's quite possible that they were inserted by whatever WYSIWYG program that created the site. None of those tags are necessary for the page to function correctly, and you don't need to insert these into any of your own sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtual Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) They were not added by the Wisywig program, they are validation codes you add to the page when submitting to search engines such as Google, Yahoo and probably MSN. They help get your site recognized by the search engines. Edited July 22, 2009 by virtual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
