SuperbMeta™ is bigger...better...faster metadata.

Today, comprehensive metadata is the best way to market and sell your products. The more complete and specific your book's metadata, the more likely it is your customer will find it.

So how do you know your metadata is good enough?
A full understanding of the sources for, and creation of quality metadata is a detailed and constantly changing area of expertise. One that not everyone has the time or inclination
to learn.
