Meta Tag Discussion

Here are some. You can use meta tags to assist search engine spiders. Some that I usually include are:

IE6+ incorporates a new feature called MyImage Toolbar, which, if enabled on Tools->Internet Options, provides the user with a popup menu over images that allows the user to instantly save, print, or email any image in a page.

However this can be disabled with Meta tags. Here is a meta tag that allows you to disable this:



Just as a side note you can also disable this without meta tags such as with:

Well nuclei really didn't explain it. I think what happens is that unless you prevent smart tags any text on your site could turn into a possible link to an advertiser. For example, lets say on your site you have a huge article that you wrote about football. Now you have no ads or anything on your site, but you do have tons of content (words). Now what Microsoft's smart tags does is make important text on your site turn into links right to an advertisers page. In other words it will make parts of your article clickable. So for instance, every time you mention the word "football" that word might actually link directly to nfl.com. I am sure you have seen some sites that will turn special words into links so that people can click on it to understand what it is in more detail. Well in this case it is kind of doing the same thing, just sending them to an advertiser instead that is related to that word.

Now by default I do not think Smart Tags are incorporated into peoples browsers. Don't people have to install something for smart tags to become active? I am not sure, I just know I never see them.
