This kind of meta tags can be used by software tools to generate local side registers too, as recommended and practiced by Daniel in 1999 on www.mgcc.ch.

search engine optimisation using meta tags and registration


Explanation:
The "megatags y alta" refer to the two different ways to get the search engines to rank your site highly. The metatags are in the code and the registration is where you submit your site by hand.

Thanks to Cindy Chadd for "registration", referred to in cited website as "hand-submit".

Explanation:
"alta" /"dar de alta/baja" is a recurring problem to translate, it is used for everything from magazine subscriptions to getting your electricity and water supply turned on, Social Security payments, net connections, etc etc. (Authorisation is a possible alternative to Cindy's correct answer)
