Bill,
These values are from config.h :
#define RANK_TITLE 4
#define RANK_HEADER 3
#define RANK_META 3
I'm not sure I understand how they work.
Does "RANK_HEADER" refer to anything that appears eithin the <HEAD> tags?
And RANK_META anything that appears in any meta tag, or only onse that are defined in the config file with the "MetaNames" line?
So a word within the <Title> tag would have:
1 (base rank) + 4 (within the title tag) + 3 (within the head tag) = 8
And if the word was in a meta tag which was within the <head> tags:
1 (base rank) + 3 (within meta tag) + 3 (within the head tag) = 7
Is that right?
