[COLOR=Blue]Most say now that when trying to optimize your search ranking meta tags are no longer what they used to be because they have been abused.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Blue]Google is therefore going to release a new \<meta\> tag system of their own currently under development.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Blue]#########################################  
#########################################[/COLOR]  
**Example\_1:**

\<google result\_title=” **Animal Planet** ” description\_150ch=” **Visit animal planet for all the latest news on animals, there welfare, treatment, and how to best care for them.** ”\>

[COLOR=Blue]Googles search result[/COLOR]

**Animal Planet**  
**Visit animal planet for all the latest news on animals, there welfare, treatment, and how to best care for them.** \*  
[animal.discovery.com/](http://animal.discovery.com/) - 32k - 7 Apr 2006 - [Cached - [URL=“http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&lr=&q=related:animal.discovery.com/”]Similar pages](http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:qv3gDPCJNlQJ:animal.discovery.com/+animals&hl=en&gl=au&ct=clnk&cd=2)\*

[COLOR=Blue]#########################################  
#########################################[/COLOR]  
**Example\_2:**  
\<google site\_type=” **adult** ” site\_rating=” **xxx** ” type=” **commercial** ” content=” **images, videos** ” registration=” **yes** ”\>

\<google site\_type=” **news** ” site\_rating=” **G** ” type=” **commercial** ” content=” **world news, american news, etc…** ” registration=” **no** ”\>

\<google site\_type=” **news** ” site\_rating=” **G** ” type=” **personal** ” content=” **computing, electronics** ” registration=” **no** ”\>

\<google site\_type=” **news** ” site\_rating=” **M15+** ” type=” **blog** ” content=” **military hardware** ” registration= **”no** ”\>

\<google site\_type=” **university** ” site\_rating=” **G** ” type=” **educational** ” content=” **university subjects** ” registration=” **yes** ”\>

[COLOR=Blue]With the new system there with be check boxes you can use to filter sites, so if you’re doing a search and don’t want no results from adult sites or blogs, you just un-tick adult and blogs.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Blue]To stop Google tags from going the way of \<meta\> tags google is going to be using a punishment system for those that try to abuse it by using the wrong keys. For example if a adult site uses site\_type=” **news** ” instead of **adult**. There will be a complaint system people can use to keep it honest… Sites that abuse the system will be removed from Googles results or have their rank reduced.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Blue]#########################################  
#########################################[/COLOR]  
**Example\_3: (in\_page)**  
\<google news\_title\>Dolphin born in NY zoo\</news\_title\>

\<google ad\>computer\</ad \>

[COLOR=Blue]G[/COLOR][COLOR=Blue]oogle will introduce new tags that its bots will read… for example news sites can easily identify their news titles for the bots to read and put back on Google news.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Blue]There will also be ad tags that you can add to your site… you just place the tags around words and when people click google pays you for it… (like their current ad system but you can control all the links)[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Blue]

So there you have it people…… Times are changing…. For the better or worst is the question.

HMMM… Perhaps this should be under tech news.

I guess it will be nice if everyone does it…but what if they don’t add this data? As if to get all sites on google to do it is one major task, I’d presume no google tags, then their site will come under all catergories…

Could be awesome if everyone plays ball, but its open for much abuse with the complaints system. Well I’d presume if one company could knock anothers rank by arguing its falsely tagged up then I might happen. I guess it depends how google deals with complaints…if its automated we’re in trouble, if its manual it would soon have such a back log of complaints it would probably be pointless. It will be interesting to see how they deal with it

[COLOR=Blue]All google would have to do is say they are giving preference to ranking to sites which use the new tags, that would be enough to get everyone to use and add them.  
Also since every search engine could use them in the same way.

And I think if you dont use the new tags, googles current system will still just judge your site for what it is…

They may have it set as a option to use the new tags or not.[/COLOR]

Its probably a good idea but it would of been best for w3 or omebody to just revamp the meta tags…can you imagine what it will be like if all major search engines take googles step and create their own tags??? anarchy ☹

I wouldn’t use it. Their search does a good job of properly summarizing a page already! My guess is that this will lead to sites fooling the bots by having tags unrelated to the content instead :asian:

If this is an official example from somewhere, it doesn’t lend much credibility. I’ve never heard of this before, where’d you get the information from?

I don’t like this one bit. Google is good enough as it is. Searches the whole site content and you get categorized by that. This is obviously just another one of google’s steps to dominate the world (if not that, at least the internet) by using its popularity to extort users to do something. Also …

\<google site\_type=”university” site\_rating=”G” type=”educational” content=”university subjects” registration=”yes”\>
