Thread: Meta tags aren't being read by Bots

Hello,

This is something strange happening with me since the past few days. The bots could not see the meta tags that are present on all my network of blogs.

Kindly refer the image for more information !



Because of this, I am not able to verify my sites in Google and Bing webmaster tools, no tracking from Google analytics, and no description shown in the serp's.

Does anyone here experienced this ?

Any help would be appreciated !!

Thanks !!!

At 144 bytes the page did not load, there was probably a server error page (like a 500) that the service read. It takes one byte to represent each character. (I just saved a blank html page from my web editor and it was 341 bytes. That is just the normally required tags plus a doc type statement and 'blank page' for a title with no content.)

Your site just opened without problem for me. It was probably a temporary situation, but if you tried several times and got the same results their IP may be blocked from the server.

So you need to add meta tag first on header.php.........To add meta tag go header.php...Now bellow the !DOCTYPE tag you can find tag like this:
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>
Just bellow this title tag you need to add meta tags. And while itechchat.com is a tech blog so you can add tags like this bellow:

<meta name="description" content="tech news, hobby tech, tech chat" />
Put this above tag line bellow the title tag. And then save the file.....Now search with seocentro....it will show your meta tags.

Even at my side - the site is opening successfully ! But the thing is the bots could not read all the tags present on the site.

Anyways I am moving to a new host, hope this solves the problem !

I am aware of that bro .... and in my case, all the tags are present ! You can check the source of itechchat.com to verify it yourself !

The problem is with the host, I guess !!

Anyways thanks for your reply !!!
