Remove Unused Meta Tags For SEO

By Bill Hartzer

This is search engine optimization tip number thirteen in our continuing series of tips from search engine optimization company Vizion Interactive. All of our search engine optimization tips are very specific, should not take a long time to fix (or to check to see if you are following the search engine optimization best practices), and will be rather "short and sweet" and directly to the point.

If you have not been following along with all of our search engine optimization tips, you might want to take a look at some of the previous SEO tips that we have already talked about. Our last search engine optimization tip, tip number 12, I talked about the text surrounding your links. Then, in SEO Tip number 11, I talked about using keywords in your heading tags. These are important because using a H1 tag will give more "weight" to the heading and the keyword phrase you're targeting on that page.

In the SEO tip before that, search engine optimization tip number ten, we talked about checking your links on your site to make sure you are not linking out to any bad neighborhoods or other sites that you do not wish to continue to link to. In SEO tip number nine, we talked about linking out to web sites. In search engine optimization tip number eight, we talked about Alt Tags and how you need to make sure that your keywords are in your Alt Tags and that they need to describe specifically what the image is and what someone will see when they look at it.

Then, before that, we talked about having keyword in your urls, linking to your home page, the meta keywords tag, the keywords on your web page, the meta description tag, and your web page's title tag. All of these "search engine optimization tips" are things I look at when analyzing a site or optimizing it for the search engines. Keep in mind, though, that this is only the beginning. There are a lot more search engine optimization tips coming.

Meta Tags

For search engine optimization tip number thirteen, let's talk about removing unused meta tags from your web pages. It is recommended that you remove meta tags from your web pages that are not recognized by the search engines, not officially recognized, or are just not needed anymore.
