description, keywords, robots tags always at the top?

Hello,

I think there is a problem with the indexing of my internet pages.

When I put description, keywords, and robots META tags at the bottom

of the HEAD section, my pages are not indexed.

(I think) this is not the case when I put these META tags at the top of the
page,

i.e. before styles etc. What happens? Is this really relevant?

In terms of META, or other tags shared in the header, are they
properly formed? (You will have check since I don't know your URL).
Sometimes a missing " mark or accidentally sharing XHTML closing of
tags mixed in with HTML sharing of tags can muck things up.

If so, you can skip the robots META tag. Particularly if you sharing
how to revisit (the spiders, to my knowledge, do not take requests
about that) and to index,follow (the spiders will do that anyway
without you telling them to do so). If you don't want the spiders to
follow/index certain links - then share that in a robots.txt file.

Side thought: Your styles should be put into a stylesheet then linked
- particularly if they are same ones shared across more than one page.
Makes the .html file smaller and, by having the styles in their own
location, easier for you to do CSS changes with less time involvement.

Validate your page(s), sounds like a mistake. To answer your question, for
a bot it shouldn't make a difference where in the head section you put
what.

Hello, I have a similar problem:
After I had put the "container"-style below in the HEAD section, my pages
were no more indexed:

<style type="text/css">
html, body {
background: #FFFFFF;
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}

#container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

#content {
width:600px;
border:1px solid #000;
background:#fff;
text-align:left;
}
</style>

Was that really a problem? What can I do to now?
