Mls Elaine A. Nowick · 2009
ABSTRACT The number of web pages incorporating META tags into HTML coding was determined for web sites linked to the University of Nebraska Agricultural Network Information Center (AgNIC) Plant Science Page. META tags were examined by domain and year of last update using the View/Document Source option on Netscape. The “keywords” META tag was included in coding for 23% of the web pages while 21% had a “description” META tag. The COM domain sites had the highest percentage of pages with META tags. META tag use by year of last update indicated increases in inclusion.
