The Metadata Tab

You can use the fields on this tab to enter metadata (information about the content item itself) and search engine instructions.

The Metadata tab contains the following fields:

Story Keywords (plain text)

You can enter keywords identifying the most important subjects covered by the story in this field. The keywords are used by search engines to improve the quality of search results.

To remove a value, click on it's x button. To add more values, click on + Add.

Originating URL (plain text)

If the content of the content item was originally published elsewhere, then you can use this field to hold the URL of the original version (often called the item's canonical URL). Search engines tend to lower the ranking of sites that contain large amounts of duplicate content. Supplying the canonical URL of republished content in this field helps to prevent this happening.

Priority (pick value from list, default=5)

You can specify a priority number indicating the importance of this story/event relative to other stories/events on the same subject in this publication. This prioritization is used by search engines to improve the quality of search results. Higher numbers indicate higher priority.

You can select one of the following values:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Indexable (boolean, default=true)

Check this option if you want search engines to index the content item.

Follow links (boolean, default=true)

Check this option if you want search engines to follow the links in this content item.
