I have questions regarding two types of meta tags, Dublin Core and
geo.position:
1. Dublin Core: I have only been able to find older studies (2000)
regarding the possible improvement in search engine positioning
through the use of these tags. The conclusion in these olders studies
was "no significant imporvement", however they did go on to say that
in the future these tags will play a more important role. Has that
future arrived or are these tags essentialy still "code bloat"?
2. geo.position: According to Wikipedia geo.position tags help in
returning regional search requests, or as they put it: "It
understandably makes little sense to look for a baker and find one who
has his shop in a completely different town". If this is the case,
then it would seem putting geo.position tags on a bed and breakfast
site in Pisa, Italy that is trying to reach potential guests around
the world would not be a good idea. Anyone have any experience or
thoughts regarding these tags?
Thanks,
Bob Schwartz
