To enter search engine descriptors:
1. (For the site) Choose Site Properties... from the File menu.

(For a page) Right-click the page in the workspace (or Site tab) and
choose Page Properties... (or choose the item from the Edit menu).
2. Click the dialog's Search menu option.
3. In the top window, type in a brief description of your site. Although
the description can be any length, the first ten words or so are the most
important.
4. In the next window, enter any number of keywords (separated by
commas) that you think fairly categorize your site/page. Put yourself
in the place of a potential visitor. What keywords might they enter if
they were searching for exactly what your site or page has to offer?
5. Set a language code from the drop-down menu to identify the
language use. Most user's Internet search engines will permit language
specific searches for web pages, so your site will show in search
results according to its language code setting.
Excluding pages from indexing (robots meta tags)
A robots meta tag can be used to control how search engine robots access the
site or page. The whole site (and pages) can be set to be indexed/not indexed,
page hyperlinks followed/not followed, or any combination thereof. Site-wide
settings are made by checking Index pages on this site and Follow links from
pages or as overrides on specific page properties.
To enable robot Meta Tag generation:
1. (For the site) Choose Site Properties... from the File menu.
- or -
(For a page) Right-click the page in the workspace or Site tab and
choose Page Properties... (or choose the item from the Edit menu).
2. Select the Search Engine menu option and check the Create robots
meta tags option (for a page you'll need to override site-wide
settings).
