It is a little nooby question but i cannot find anywhere a good simple explanation to my question.
So Google inter alia finds your page based on the keywords and description of the page. right?
My firm is located in Italy and have clients all over the world.
So we would like that the page is more visible on google by updating the description and keywords.
Right now, the description of the page is in english. I would like to write two description (italian and english). I was thinking to use something like that:
<meta name="Description" lang="ENG" content="content" />
<meta name="Description" lang="ITA" content="contenuto" />
I read that this practice is not the best. Is there a better way to do it, or, it doesn't have any importance to have two description of the page?
Also the keywords are in english and italian. Is important that the keywords are in both languages or does google (when searching for your page) use some kind of translate function where searching?
Thanks for any explanation..
You can add several meta-description elements with content in different languages by using the lang attribute. The value of the lang attribute must be a BCP 47 language tag.
For English, it is "en" (not "ENG"), and for Italian it is "it" (not "ITA").
<meta name="description" lang="en" content="">
<meta name="description" lang="it" content="">
(Asking how search engine services handle this is off-topic on Stack Overflow. You might ask it on Webmasters SE.)

For most keywords google search results point to main page of my website (like example.com). But I would prefer google to point to pages with stuff specific for the keyword (i.e. keyword "product1" pointed to example.com/product1.html). Pages for specific products are well optimized for the adequate keywords, but results point to main page.
Is it any way to change that?
UPDATE:
My site is about window blinds. I've got main page that contains a general information (i.e. example.com) and many other pages that contain specific information (i.e. example.com/roller_blimds.html). If someone types "roller blinds" in google search box at this moment in results there is link to main page (example.com), and I would prefer it was a link to file connected to rollers: example.com/roller_blinds.html.
I'm not sure if i got your point correctly, but here's some help.
First of all i would like you to try search for Paraleb on google.
This is my own website, and here's the search result
http://i.stack.imgur.com/obXGL.png
As you can see it has the main domain/directory paraleb.com listed at the top, and below it there are subpages, like About, Clients, Contact us, Work.
What i did here is not that hard, i just used metatags on all pages, but make sure to use different keywords and description for each page.
(ex: in the html code of the contact us/or your product's page, but the meta description, a breif description about your product, its title, and the relevant keywords).
Helpful meta-tags i'm using:
<title>Paraleb | Creative Digital Agency</title>
<meta name="description" content="Creative Digital Agency">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="#paraleb">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Home">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Creative Digital Agency">
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="#Paraleb">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="/static/img/social/twitter_360.png">
<meta property="og:title" content="Home" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:url" content="" />
<meta property="og:image" content="/static/img/social/facebook_og_720.png" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Creative Digital Agency" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Paraleb" />

I want to know, How to do SEO for a school, I have no idea about SEO and
I have not enough time to spend more time because it is all ready late for submitting the project. so i just plane to get some idea to do SEO with meta tags so, can any one tel me how to do that.
I have used these tags
<link rel="canonical" href="http://madinacc.sch.lk/" />
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Madina Central College (National School) Madawala Official Website" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://madinacc.sch.lk/" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Madina Central College (National School)Madawala Official Website" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://madinacc.sch.lk/" />
<meta name="twitter:site" content="#jetpack" />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://madinacc.sch.lk/" />
There have been millions of books written on this, so a quick solution is unlikely but here are my thoughts.
Whilst I am sure there are lots of things you could do and tags you could add to the <head> tag, I am under the impression that nowadays the algorithms of Google, among other modern search engines, are intelligent enough to rate your site properly, based on the ACTUAL content of your site.
Given this, my advice would be to include the well-written content that your site NEEDS.
If you do this, your site will be ranked properly in due course.
The good thing is that much of modern SEO involves improving the site for your users. Such as:
Having good, relevant content
Having a fast, well performing site
Having content that updates frequently. I.e even just a blog or similar
Properly labelling images (title, alt-text)
Ensuring that all the links on your page are correct! (Obvious but often overlooked)
There are a million others but they are the ones that spring to mind.
I used the iframe to add the like button to my website
and after read many questions/answer related with my issue I add to the HEAD:
<meta property="og:image"
<meta property="og:title" content="EL SUR TAMBIEN ES AMERICA"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://elsuresamerica.weebly.COM/"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
I debugged it and get:
"More Than One OG URL Specified:
Object at URL (my web site) of type 'website' is invalid because it specifies multiple 'og:url' values: (my web site), (my web site)"
I don't understand what that means. I am not a developer, just a writer and I'm getting crazy with this. Please I need help to show a thumbnail in FB when the like button is clicked.
Thanks!
If that is the original code, I'd first see if it is because the 1st meta tag is not closed ;-) Try adding /> to the end of the 1st line
Below are the meta tags I am using for Google plus
<html itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Watch Movies Online">
<meta itemprop="name" content="Watch Movies"/>
<meta itemprop="description" content="Watch Movies Online">
<meta itemprop="image" content="https://www22.verizon.com/images/biglogo.gif" />
I see them in view source of the page. when I actually click G+ button, it is not reading the values from here. Not able to figure out what I am missing.. Pls suggest me...
The itemtype that you've specified does not appear to be a valid one. Please note that you can only use types specified by schema.org. Please change the type to a valid one and try again.
Apart from that, it would be good if you can specify the URL of your site where it's not working. Furthermore, you can use the Google Rich Snippets testing tool to test your site. This might help tracking down the problem you're having.
You have to add the following snippet at the top of the document or add to your definition:
<html itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/**yourschematypegoeshere**">
Where you replace "yourschematypegoeshere" with one of these, http://schema.org/docs/full.html.
I'd like to be able to find websites that have specific metatags: eg
<meta name="generator" content="http://www.jadu.net" />
<meta name="DC.subject" lang="en" scheme="eGMS.IPSV" content="Local government;Government, politics and public administration" />
Are there any search engines that do this? I'd rather not have to spider most of the .gov.uk space...
Have you tried the meta operator in Bing?
