WEB1026 - The <meta name="description"> tag should be declared only once in a page
Expression Studio 4.0
A <meta name="description"> tag should occur only once in a page.
Explanation
If there is more than one <meta name="description"> tag inside the <head> tag section of a page, a search engine may arbitrarily decide which one is the most relevant in the search engine results. This reduces the page relevancy for a keyword search and lowers the search-engine ranking of the page.
Details
If there is more than one <meta name="description"> tag inside the <head> tag section of a page, the site developer loses some degree of control over what the page should be targeted for in search-engine results.
Example
The following is an example of correctly formatted <meta name="description"> and <meta name="keywords"> tags.
<head> <title>Contact Proseware, Inc.</title> <meta name="description" content="Contact information for Proseware, Inc., including addresses, phone numbers, and email"/> <meta name="keywords" content="Proseware,Proseware applications,Proseware utilities,Proseware tools,Proseware server tools"/> </head>
