Default Meta Tag Concerns

Put Meta tags in my index.html but for some reason seoquake/other websites can not see my meta tags. When I bring up the page source I see them right under the heading. Any ideas?

http://www.petrinocomputerrepair.com/index.html

thats the website

I am not the best coder in the world but why is your <title> tag under a Javascript code and not right under your <head> tag? And why do you have your other <meta> tags not right after your <title> tag and right one after another?

Your <head> tags are above the <html> tags. Thats the specific cause for this problem.

<!DOCTYPE html> is not the same as <html>
Needs to be in this order:

<html>
<head>
<title>Whatever</title>
</head>
<body>
Whatever
</body>
</html>

The whole top part of the code is messed up. Especially this line:
Quote:
<meta name="Petrino Computer Repair Services Central NJ Home Page" content="Computer Repair in the Central NJ area offering anything from simple diagnostics to server implementation on both Home & Business scales. We also Repair, Build, and Fabricate Personal Desktops, Laptops, Ipods, Iphones, & Tablets">
Meta name is not for the name of the site, that would go in title. Meta name is for things like keywords, description and author.
Eg.
<meta name="keywords" content="computer repair central nj, desktops, laptops">
<meta name="description" content="Computer Repair in the Central NJ area offering anything from simple diagnostics to server implementation on both Home & Business scales. We also Repair, Build, and Fabricate Personal Desktops, Laptops, Ipods, Iphones, & Tablets">

Run the page though http://validator.w3.org to find any further issues.

Does it matter for seo purposes where I put the java script code? I checked in SEOquake and everything seems to have a green check mark that I was going for. How do you guys check your SEO stats?

Its does matter for SEO purposes where you put the Javascript code. The more code in the header the further Google has to read to get to the body of the content. Some SEO plugins for Wordpress actually have a "clean header" feature that compresses a lot of the header code.

For functionality purposes, some code MUST be put in the header or it wont work. I just checked your code again and noticed your Google Analytics code is below your </head> tag and above the <body> tag. This code needs to be moved up BEFORE the </head>
