There's no such thing as an complete official list. The whole point of
the META tag with the NAME and CONTENT attributes as that you can use it
to associate any metadata with your pages that you want, if there's some
application for which that metadata will be meaningful. The page you
originally asked about contains many examples of META tags that
particular applications or organizations use.

I understand that, but I am looking for a useful list to use with
regards to Search Engines Bots.

As far as the public search engines are concerned, that list is the
empty set. Years ago it became obvious that unscrupulous website owners
were loading the "keywords" and "description" META tags with words that
had nothing to do with their websites for the purpose of grabbing
traffic from people looking websites that those words *did* relate to,
so the search engines started ignoring them.

In our last episode,
is there a official list with anyone?

If you cannot understand why there can never be a "complete"
meta tag list, you have missed the point entirely. You only make that
clearer by asking about an "official" list.

Obviously you are thick as a board and crooked. Concentrate on content that
attracts users and stop trying to find ways to cheat with meta tags. Major
search engines got wise to people like you many years ago.

By the way, your original question was not "I am looking for a useful
list [of meta tags] to use with regards to Search Engines Bots", but "Is
this "Meta Tag List" complete[?]". And then when someone gave you a
(bogus) example, you rejected it because it wasn't "official". So you
made it perfectly clear that what you were looking for was a COMPLETE
list of OFFICIAL meta tags. Then, when I tell you there is NO SUCH
THING, you reply that you *already understood that there wasn't*. Tell
me, is there any reason why we shouldn't all think you're a jerk for
intentionally wasting people's time answering questions from you only to
have you claim that you already knew the answer and that your question
had been something else?

We already know that "Ganesh" tries to make money by selling services
related to issues he does not understand and does not care to learn.

Adding a site
Print

You can add up to 500 sites, including news and mobile sites, to your
account. In addition, we'll ask you to verify your site. This is
because we need to know you own a site before we'll show you certain
information about it or enable you to use our tools. Verification
doesn't affect PageRank or affect your site's performance in Google's
search results. (There are also special instructions for adding
Blogger blogs and sites created using Google Sites.)
If you create blogs using Blogger, you can automatically add and
verify sites by enabling Webmaster Tools directly from the Blogger
dashboard.

To add and verify a site:

1. Sign into Google Webmaster Tools with your Google Account.
2. Click Add a site, and type the URL of the site you want to add.
Make sure you type the entire URL, such as http://www.example.com/
3. Click Continue. The Site verification page opens.
4. (Optional) In the Name box, type a name for your site (for
example, My Blog).
5. Select the verification method you want.
* Meta tag: We will ask you to add a meta tag with a unique
value to your site's home page. This is the easiest solution if
editing your home page's HTML is easier than uploading new files. In
addition, this solution lets you easily verify sites you've created
using Google Sites.
* HTML file: We will ask you to create a file with a
specific name and upload it to a specific directory on your webserver.
The file can be empty—Google cares only about the file's location, not
about its content.

What kind of sites can I add?

Here is a list of the types of URLs you can add as a site:

* example.com
* www.example.com
* bar.example.com
* foo.bar.example.com
* www.example.com/foo
* www.example.com/foo/bar
* foo.bar.example.com/catalog/dresses

Webmaster Tools data and reporting work best on a site level. For
example, if your site www.example.com has separate sections for
different countries, we recommend adding each of those subsites or
subfolders as a separate site. For example, if you have a travel site
with specific subfolders covering Ireland, France, and Spain, you
could add the following sites to your Webmaster Tools account:

* http://www.example.com
* http://www.example.com/france
* http://www.example.com/ireland
* http://www.example.com/spain

Webmaster Tools supports Internationalizing Domain Names in
Applications (IDNA) when adding a site to your account. Just type your
domain name as usual, and it will appear correctly in Webmaster Tools.
For example, if you type http://bücher.example.com in the Add Site
box, it will appear correctly. This applies only to the host (in this
example, bücher.example.com). Therefore, we recommend you create your
URL path using only ASCII characters that do not need escaping.

I know the answer to that but don't want to post it because someone
would probably say they knew it already, anyway.

I thought satire was when you got mad on the day before the Christian
sabbath.

We already know that "Ganesh" tries to make money by selling services
related to issues he does not understand and does not care to learn.

:) I cannot completely agree on that. Again, you should have surely
noticed that ''Ganesh'' surely did takes efforts to understand and be
informed on what he is trying to sell. He expects to understand most
of it by the time seashell gets the first ''Audit'' service request.
In the region seashell is trying to provide service, no one even tries
that for the while.

Again, I mentioned "Business is a different ball game"

I know some billionaires who did not even pass school, but were
excellent humans. I am following their ideologies.

The poor news paper boy who sells the TOP newspapers does not need to
understand the News Editorial Process. He will make more sales if he
just tells some headlines of the process. You can consider me him for
the while :)

Again, without such millions of New paper boys the NEWS paper industry
cannot even imagine to sell papers.

Bad analogy. A newspaper boy _delivers_ papers to people who are
already subscribers, or sells papers to people who ask for the paper
because they want to know what the news is. Newspapers are hurting now
because much of what is in print has gone to the Internet.
Again, without such millions of New paper boys the NEWS paper industry
cannot even imagine to sell papers.

The newspaper boy is not selling the paper, the paper sells itself.

I did not know a paper that sold itself. Let's take that in a real
sense, do you think the same number of papers would have sold if the
Newspaper agency did not consider "News paper boys" like us?
