Podcasting Explained

October 24, 2008

Podcasting is the action by which you create a podcast, and a podcast is essentially the content that you are putting out there. You will find that a good podcast can be about any topic that can sustain the interest of a listener or watcher.

While political podcasts and entertainment podcasts are extremely common, you will also find that there are plenty of podcasts out there about things that are as different as living in a specific area or country, religion, the experience of being a student in a certain area or of a certain topic, and much, much more. If you are interested in it and can offer a new spin on a topic, you will find that podcasting is a great way to get your viewpoint out to the people.

The sheer variety that is out there is something that has drawn people to podcasting, both as viewers and listeners and as content producers. Podcasting, although it takes a certain computer literacy to set up and to start recording, is fairly straightforward and the equipment that it takes to create a podcast is actually quite easy to find. More and more people are being drawn to this form of expression and many people who would have been lost in the crowd when it comes to more traditional media are finding that they have quite a powerful voice!

When you are looking at podcasting, you will find that there are several reasons why it has become so popular. You will find that your podcast can be easily syndicated. That means that for people who choose to follow it, your podcasts will be delivered to the media player of their choice, whether that is on their computer or on their portable media player.

Most podcasts are fairly short, meaning that they can be enjoyed during a wait or between appointments or classes, and you will also find that they can be accessed anywhere that there is a computer with an Internet connection.

Meta description-   a meta tag hidden in the HTML that describes the page’s content. Should be relatively short; around 12 to 20 words is suggested. The meta description provides an opportunity to influence how your Web page is described in the search results, but it will not improve your search rankings. Make sure your meta description reflects the page content or you may be accused of spamming.

Meta keywords:- A meta tag hidden in the HTML that lists keywords relevant to the page’s content. Because search engine spammers have abused this tag so much, this tag provides little to no benefit to your search rankings. Of the major search engines, only Yahoo! still pays any attention to the meta keywords tag.

Meta Search:-     Search results derived from several sources and consolidated into a single SERP. [edit]

Meta tag stuffing:-  Repeating keywords in the meta tags and using meta keywords that are unrelated to the site’s content.

Meta tags- Meta-information (information about information) that is associated with a web page and placed in the HTML but not displayed on the page for the user to see. There are a range of meta tags, only a few of which are relevant to search engine spiders. Two of the most well-known meta tags are the meta description and meta keywords; unfortunately these are ignored by most major search engines, including Google
