Tags added here\u00a0can\u00a0improve your network&#8217;s overall visibility in search results.There are a number of &lt;meta&gt; tags to choose from, and some are better than others. You can use meta keywords and\u00a0meta content language tags, to name a few. Meta keywords work in a similar fashion to\u00a0blog or photo tags, and increase your page&#8217;s chances of turning up in search results for certain terms. Choose your words wisely, as misuse of this tag can cause your network to be blacklisted by search engines. Research other similar sites to yours, and get an idea of which kinds of words give your page the best possible results. Meta keywords added here will not override keywords added to your Network Details page.

Customizations added here should affect only the page you are editing. However, take care with the string you enter, as an overly general &lt;style&gt; tag may over-apply and affect your network&#8217;s appearance elsewhere.<\/li>\n<li>&lt;Script&gt; tags are commands that you can add here to apply expressly to this page.
