Okay, this is my first real website, especially first one that I want to draw traffic too from search engines.

Im building a Magento ECommerce website. On every page, there is a section to enter:

Meta Title
Meta Keywords
Meta Description

Im still confused as to what exactly to put in these areas. My store is a trophy store that specializes in golf only awards.

With that being said, I plan to have around 400-500 products on my site when Im all finished. So I would like to have a good idea on what to enter before I get too far along and have to go back and redo each and every page.

Alot of my products are going to be very similar. I mean, they are all "golf trophies" of some sort. One may be specific to "longest drive" while others are a more generic "male golf statue" or "cup".

Can someone please give me a good example of what I should put in my meta information? Lets take this one product for example:

http://scotty-golf.com/c-vintage-fem...fer-small.html

Meta Title: I made sure I put in "scotty-golf" and the category its under "trophies", then a brief description of the trophy "vintage female golfer"

Meta Keywords: I only entered in "vintage" and "female". I played around with using other terms like trophy, silver, etc.. but I was getting too generic and when I used the search feature on my site, it seemed like no matter what I typed, ALL my products would show up. I want customers to really be able to use the search feature properly.

Meta Description: all i entered was "Old Vintage Looking Female Golf Trophy"... im not sure what to really put here as I dont know where this is showing up?

Can someone please critique what I have done and maybe give me some examples of what a good site would use?

thanks!!!

Well first of all, have done your keyword research properly? If not, you can check out https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal for keywords you may want to use for your website.

As for the Metas, it is very important that you place keywords in your meta title and meta description. Sample code:

<meta name="title" content="Golf Trophy" />
<meta name="description" content="The one stop shop for all your trophy needs!" />
<meta name="keywords" content="trophy, male trophy, female trophy, vintage trophy" />

The Metas above are just samples

In FireFox just click View on the task bar and then click Page Source. You'll be able to see them there.
