Yesterday I posted some thoughts on When, Why and How to Construct a Meta Description Tag. While it’s relevance in terms of rankings is rather limited, there is still some intrinsic value to implementing a good description that will appear in the search results.

Today I’m going to tell you everything you need to know about the Meta Keywords tag. You ready?

Not every site needs, nor should have, an on-site search feature. But those that do must be sure that the search isn’t just an after-thought. It needs to be more than something to add because you think visitors want it. Adding a search function is not necessarily good for on-site usability. Implementing a search function improperly is often a greater source of frustration than not having one altogether.

For this reason your on-site search function should not be taken lightly. In fact, it’s better that no search option be present than one that potentially gives the searcher a “false impression” as to the availability of products/information on your website. Much time and consideration (and development) needs to go into the search option to ensure that it not only returns accurate results, but is fully comprehensive in interpreting the searchers intentions.
