Re: How to select what text goes in the Search Engines
This text from the help file.....
To give your content the best chance of being found and ranked by search
engines like AltaVista, you can add META tag descriptions and keywords to
your pages' <HEAD> content. Site visitors don't see this information, but
search engines require it to index your site.
Search engines index frameset files, so if your site uses AutoFrames or
scripted frames, be sure to access Master HTML so your tags are added to the
frameset file.
1 In Page view, click in the Layout area of the page you want indexed, or in
the MasterBorder or AutoFrame to index a set of pages.
2 Click the HTML button on the General tab of the Properties palette.
The Page HTML dialog appears.
3 Click the Between Head Tags tab and enter META tags that describe your
content. For example, type:
<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Large selection of valuable, high quality
antiques and collectibles for any budget.">
where the content is a one-sentence description containing the most
important keywords site visitors might search for. Then type:
<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="antiques, quality antiques, valuable
antiques, low-cost antiques, collectibles, jewelry, furniture, novelties">
where the content lists all important keywords.
You can also enter META keywords in the Meta Tags tab of the Page Properties
palette.
4 Click OK.
5 Register your site with search engines.
You must do this separately with each search engine for it to find your
site. Visit AltaVista, Excite, Lycos, Yahoo, and so on, for information.
Search engines continually evolve how they use content to index and rank
pages, and many of them make this information available at their sites.
Visit Services view for registration information.
To see the resulting HTML, publish the site and view the source in your
browser. To test the tags you added, publish the site and search for
keywords using the various search engines. Be patient, as it can take days
or weeks for indexers to find your site.

How to select what text goes in the Search Engines
Im Currently building my first website and i'd like to submit it to the
search enginges for listing one thing im unsure of though is how to effect
the text that is shown when someone searches for my website or a keyword
within my site: for example if i type "World cup" in google one of the first
listed is:
The official site for the 2006 FIFA World CupT Germany The home of the FIFA
World Cup. Updated for each tournament and a complete history. The ultimate
site...
fifaworldcup.yahoo.com
How exactly do you tell the search engine what text to put in when all you
can do is submit your url ?

Re: How to select what text goes in the Search Engines
As far as I see Meta Tags are not that important any more.
Google will try to index real visible text and images from your pages.
How you are ranked in Google is most dependent from your site listed in
other important sites with heavy traffic that have links to yours.
