Metatag rules
- Each FastApp metatag must start with "fa:"
- Tag placement: convention would have you put each metatag between the <head> tags on your page, as some people don't have the ability to edit the head area, anywhere on the page will do.
- Metatag property names are not case-sensitive but metatag property content values are case-sensitive.
- Tag property names / values must not contain HTML markup. If HTML is present, the app will not be crawled.
Metatag API
The following is a description of each of the metatags that and the format of the content.Items with a
are mandatory.- Title

- Description
<meta property="fa:description" content="Your app's description\nWhich can have line breaks" />
- Platform - platform is a comma separated list of platforms that your app runs on.
Currently FastApp supports the platforms: Android, Blackberry, iOs, Nokia and Twitter
If you think we should add another platform, please email us at feedback@fastapp.com<meta property="fa:platform" content="Blackberry,Nokia" /> - Icon - the application icon value must be a valid URL with an actual image png/gif. Icon should be 100px by 100px and does not need rounded corners. We will add them.
<meta property="fa:icon" content="http://mywebsite.com/myappicon100x100.gif" />
- Image - you can have multiple image metatags. Each one will be a screenshot of your app.
There's no size restriction but good rule of thumb is 320px by 480px.
Keep in mind that this image will be served from your web server<meta property="fa:image" content="http://mywebsite.com/myappimage1-320x480.png" />
<meta property="fa:image" content="http://mywebsite.com/myappimage2-320x480.png" />
<meta property="fa:image" content="http://mywebsite.com/myappimage3-320x480.png" /> - Price - price can be two types of value, the first is the word "Free",
The second is a numeric value preceded by a currency smbol, as in the example below.<meta property="fa:price" content="$12.99" /> - Category - category is a hierarchy (notice the bar "|" divider).
The first part of the hierarchy must match an existing category in FastApp.
The second can be any sub-category that you care to name. Your app will show up at both levels.<meta property="fa:category" content="games|arcade" /> - Released - the date your app was released.
In ISO format. YearMonthDate. For example 200110509<meta property="fa:released" content="20111231" /> - Company
<meta property="fa:company" content="Your company name" />
- DowrloadUrl - this is the URL that will take the FastApp user to the place where they can buy or download your app.
If this value is not set then the URL of the metatag page describing the app will be used.<meta property="fa:downloadUrl" content="http://marketplace.com/myapp/234234/index.html" /> - Version: the version number of your app.
<meta property="fa:version" content="1.6alpha" />

Advanced
For every comma separated value in the platform metatag, you can specify
overrides for each of the values. For example, you might want different screen shots to
apprear for Android as opposed to Blackberry.
This is accomodated using the notation below. Again, the tag properties are case-insensitive, but shown here in CamelCase for clarity.
