The title and Meta description tag work together in catching the eye of the visitor (in the browser). The title tag is the title of the web page. It should include branding and a call of action. The Meta description is meant to be a short and accurate summary of your page content. Properly written, you will increase the number of clicks to your website and raise your ranking. When running a report, we found some broken links that gave access Web pages that are no longer available. A great solution is to re-direct the page to an existing or a new landing page. Move all the inline JavaScript into a separate JS file. Like the separate CSS file, a separate JS file will pull the functionality away from the content, making it easier for the spider engines to access the page content. Example: Remove the inline styles and consolidate into style sheet(s). An inline CSS property is added by using the style attribute for a specific tag. By mixing content with presentation code, you might lose some advantages of the style sheets. Moving all the inline CSS rules into a separate style sheet will make your page "lighter" in weight and will decrease the code to text ratio. This will make maintenance and future website updates easier in the future, as well as being spider engine friendly.
