38 Setting Up Sites and Pages
Whether you are using Meta tags, robots, or sitemaps independently or in
combination, WebPlus makes configuration simple. As these settings can be
established or modified for the whole site (Site Properties; Search Engine menu
option) any newly created page will adopt site's search engine settings. If you
change the site settings, all web pages will update to the new settings
automatically. However, you can override the site's settings on a specific web
page (Page Properties; Search Engine menu option) at any time. The page's
override means that subsequent changes to site settings will always be ignored
for those pages.
Using titles, descriptions and tags
Although they're optional, if you want to increase the likelihood that your
website will be "noticed" by major web search services, you should optimize
your page titles, and enter appropriate descriptions and tags. Search services
maintain catalogs of web pages, often compiled through the use of "crawlers" or
other programs that prowl the web collecting data on sites and their content. By
including descriptive titles, descriptions and tags, you'll assist these engines in
processing your site's information. You can enter titles, descriptions and tags for
the site as a whole and/or for individual pages. For example, for a simple
ornithological site:
