It comes as an all out shock that Google has presented a new “watchwords metatag” to be utilized as a positioning sign while highlighting the most recent News things in its query items. Amazing, chiefly on the grounds that Google has proactively excused or made light of the normal metatag and Google’s representative Matt Cutts is on record as saying: “You shouldn’t invest energy on the meta catchphrases tag. We don’t utilize it.”
This new metatag is much more astonishing when you consider Google has shot the act of “watchword stuffing” with its Penguin Updates lately. Connections and content which are as well “catchphrase” centered have practically vanished from Google’s Index. Destinations which have utilized SEO to “over improved” their substance have gotten a similar destiny.
So what’s happening with this news_keywords metatag which will allow distributers to give the particular watchwords for a news story. The label will be like:
<* meta name=”news_keywords” content=”Emmys 2012, Homeland, Modern Family, Jimmy Kimmel, television, network programs” *>
(If it’s not too much trouble, eliminate the *’s in your real HTML code.)
You can utilize something like ten expressions for each article and each expression ought to be isolated with a comma, Google says every watchword will be given equivalent worth.
Presently Google is requesting that you characterize or assist it with figuring out your reports. It is expected to be a useful device to all the more likely assemble and immediately present significant news things to its clients. Yet, is this new label the most ideal choice for Google?
Clearly, Google from previous encounters, should realize this sort of tag is available to mishandle. Remember, albeit this is a News-Related tag, ready website admins will definitely know Google news things frequently show up overall Google query items.
That is the reason they as of now have quality rules set up to deal with this sort of happy. Google News is rigorously for educational material coordinated at recent developments, significant happenings, opportune reports… different articles, for example, How-to, guidance segments, general weather conditions gauges, stock information… won’t be shown.
In its News rules, Google likewise advises us that Google News isn’t for limited time or showcasing material and will not send its clients to locales made exclusively to advance an item or association. Google needs extraordinary quality articles composed by specialists in the field and will not acknowledge any collected substance. News destinations ought to have legitimate creator memoirs with clear contact data showed for its clients. Right spelling and language ought to be utilized consistently as this accommodates a vastly improved client experience.
Google additionally reminds us this “news_metatag” is just a single positioning sign of numerous it uses to rank substance/destinations on the web. Website admins, writers and news associations ought to exploit this new instrument, yet given Google’s new crackdown on watchword stuffing, it most certainly ought to accompany a “utilization with alert” advance notice for any individual who might attempt to “abuse” this new metatag.
