The newer markup languages tend to use "0" as opposed to never, but whichever you like.<BR/><BR/>Then if your document does expire, like a coupon page then you would change "never" to the expiration date for the best results. (like below) <BR/><BR/>META NAME="expires" CONTENT="Mon, 22 Jul 2002 11:12:01 GMT"<BR/><BR/>--MelanieMelanie Proughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256593145297343920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497004410317339800.post-81140356761205720932007-10-16T12:58:00.000-04:002007-10-16T12:58:00.000-04:00Hi Melanie,The Comment Field refused the "" around...Hi Melanie,<BR/><BR/>The Comment Field refused the "<>" around the the Meta tags.<BR/>And, the question was why some sites use content='0' versus content='never' in the expires meta tag.<BR/><BR/>And, the second question about needing the expires Meta tag was whether the tag is needed if the content is specified as '0' or 'never.'<BR/>Unfortunately, finding a source that clearly explains the benefit of content='never' or '0' in this tag is hard to find using the search engine.<BR/><BR/>Is content='never' or '0' recommended to prevent spiders from overlooking the content?Debbie Dolphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603285255674348710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497004410317339800.post-35921479762409301732007-10-13T16:23:00.000-04:002007-10-13T16:23:00.000-04:00Hi Debbie,META NAME="expires" CONTENT="Mon, 22 Jul...Hi Debbie,<BR/><BR/>META NAME="expires" CONTENT="Mon, 22 Jul 2002 11:12:01 GMT"<BR/><BR/>Is correct for expiration of a page and it's content...Add the <>.<BR/><BR/>It's an "all or none" tag by default. I don't believe, you would change it, except to fit your page's correct markup.<BR/><BR/>META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="all"<BR/><BR/>Tag is either all or none in the content attribute. It simply instructs the robots to index either all or none of the page's content.<BR/><BR/>This is also accomplished with the <BR/>META NAME="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,FOLLOW"<BR/><BR/>This tag stops indexing of the page as well, but links are followed. The "follow" attribute can be changed to "nofollow" and then no PageRank, or link juice (credit or vote) is given to the sites linked out to from the page.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps...If not just comment back with what you are trying to accomplish and I might be able to help more..=-)<BR/><BR/>--MelanieMelanie Proughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256593145297343920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497004410317339800.post-89927850943774999272007-10-13T15:42:00.000-04:002007-10-13T15:42:00.000-04:00Hi Melanie,Is there a difference between meta cont...Hi Melanie,<BR/><BR/>Is there a difference between meta content='0' name='expires'/ and meta content='never' name='expires'/?<BR/><BR/>Is the expire Meta tag needed?Debbie Dolphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603285255674348710noreply@blogger.com
