Should the META tags at the top of HTML documents be included on every page of your website, or just the front page?<br />
Thanks.<!--content-->Yes.<br />

Each page should have a meta tag that says which character set the page is encoded in. This tells the browser whether to display the page using the Western alphabet, the Greek or Cyrillic alphabet, or using Thai, Chinese, Japanese or Arabic scripts.<br />
<br />
Search engines like to see the <title> tag. You should give each page a unique title containing words that you want indexed for that page.<br />
<br />
Add a meta description to each page, optimised for each page.<br />
<br />
The meta keywords aren't used by many search engines, but add the tag anyway. Some people use it to introduce mis-spelled versions of their target word. Many people searching for "widgets" are likely to type "wigdets" for example.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are lots of other tags, but I usually begin a document with a minimum of:<br />
<br />
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><br />
<html><br />
<head><br />
<title> Your Title Here </title><br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="EN-GB"><br />
<meta name="Keywords" content=" your, keyword, list, here "><br />
<meta name="Description" content=" Your Description Here. "><br />
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE"><br />
</head><br />
<br />
<body><br />
<br />
<br />
