We skipped here the content of the og:image tag because we haven't touched publishing images in our web page. The content of og:type is "website", you may use article instead (blog posts, news article). We use the same content for og:title, og:description as in the corresponding meta tags (title, meta description) and for og:url the value of the canonical url. Twitter has specific tags (see links resources) but the generic OG tags fulfill the same function. We will add a few meta tags used by social media sites to enhance shared links to that page. OG (open graph) is a concept that has been introduced by Facebook. We don't want to lose the opportunity though.
DOTBOT SITEMAP HOW TO
Webmaster Tools:įor information about how to register your website with webmaster tools please follow their instructions.ĭon't add Facebook or Twitter like / share buttons to the page! These are third party pixels.Īlthough social media with the potential of content going viral may contribute to visitors of a web page, usually it isn't important. It is also the preferred way how search engines communicate with a owner of web site if they are running into issues. The webmaster tools provide a suite of tools to submit new pages and monitor indexing of our pages. We use their webmaster tools to register our website. Webmaster Toolsįinally, having checked off all the elements above, we have to make sure that our website, and our web page is known to the search engines Google and Bing. In this example, from this website, besides adding the location of the sitemap we provide the instruction to "dotbot" bot not to crawl our website. We added it to our website to prevent errors when bots are looking for the file and more importantly, it provides us the opportunity to point to the location of the website's sitemap file.

Unfortunately, not all bots respect the instructions given in the robots.txt file. It is used to give search engine and other bots instructions which areas of the website shouldn't be crawled, fetched or indexed. The robots file is a simple text file that is mandatory located in the root of a website. We omit the optional tags "priority" and "changefreq". The mandatory "loc" tag with the default url of a page and the optional "lastmod" tag with the date the content of the page has been edited the last time. The sitemap.xml file doesn't have to be stored in the root folder of a website. Our new page should be listed with the default url in the sitemap. The sitemap is an xml formatted file listing all urls of pages of a website. It is possible to access a page with different variants of an url and this tag tells the search engine which variant is considered the default one.

A canonical link declares the default url to view a specific page. Within the head section of a page html code, there must be a canonical link tag. We will have to add a few elements which will help us that the page will be discovered and indexed by Google and Bing. Over time, the largest segment of visitors to your web page will be from organic search, mostly driven by Google and to a smaller part by Bing.
