Meta Tags and Titles

[ebhill]

I had been working on my first website for a new school. I had finished it and
put it on the internet. Once it had been online for a couple of weeks, I
noticed that it was not appearing on search engines. So, I learned more and
realized that I needed meta tags, a description, keywords, and a title. I went
back onto to dreamweaver added all of these things in the appropriate places,
and put it back on the internet. But all of the new things I have added are not
showing up on the internet. I have done everything, and read as much as I could
to see if there was a problem, and everything is telling me I am doing it
right, but apparently I am not. So, if there is anyone that can help me and let
me know if there is anything else I can do.

The title will help but the meta tags are useless. The search engines
ignore them for ranking purposes.

Are you using Frames?

yes I am using frames

You must title the frameset page, not the individual frame pages. But....

The reason for using or not using frames should be based on a) your site's
needs, and b) your willingness to accept the potential problems that frames
can create for you as developer and maintainer of the site and for your
visitors as casual users of the site.

I am down on frames because I believe that they create many more problems
than they solve.
Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that are described,
the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also the kind of
person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems when they
arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b) that you are
prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have a need to use
frames, then by all means use them.

As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of frames and their
potential problems can be found on these two links -
