I still value the importance of meta tags, though some say that it's not anymore helpful in seo. By having an interesting and eye-catchy meta description, this can help your site attract more visitors to visit your site once it is listed in search results page or in web directories...

Meta tags are to explain about our site to the search engines. If we not add any meta tags, no problem search engines can analyze everything from your site. Meta tags not reflects in getting PR or SERP.

No problem, cool and think over the other factors which are reflects the SERP.

if you haven't added meta tags to your site then you should try them. It will help search engines to get the information which you want to let the people know about your site. The search engine will only display the description and title which you have in your meta tags.

Umm...no. Search engines aren't using your meta tags to decide what your site is about. Your page title gets lumped into the meta tag discussion sometimes, but they aren't meta tags. Page titles are very important though.

Search engines will display several things as the snippet below your link in their results. Your meta description may be one of them. Other things that may be used are the description you used with your DMOZ or Yahoo directory listing (if you have listings in either) or a snippet or snippets of text from your page.

Careful handling of meta tag optimizabtion can get you better chance of good ranking, meta tags are included so that the search engines are able to list your site in their indexes more accurately, using Meta Tags, however, does not provide a guarantee that your website page would rank highly in the search engine rankings due to the rampant abuse and manipulation of the Meta keywords Tag by webmasters, most search engines don't support it anymore.

Well...meta tags will not help in getting traffic. For getting traffic from search engines its important to be among top ranking on SERPs for your keywords and for that you need to keep building quality links for your sites.........frequently update it with fresh and unique content and submit your site to rss directories.....

using these meta tags search engine robots will know what category and keywords that you are targeting, and also for the crawlers to be able to identify which pages of your website you don't want to show in public.

I think you should. Even if search engines don't use use metas to determine your site's contents, it is still vital for the categorization of your pages.

In addition, the article content is still vital to the success of your site.

meta tags are not the answer to increase the performance of your website in the search engines. Many search engines doesn't rely on the data in the description and keywords tags as they are wide open to abuse.Major engines prefer to use their own algorithm to determine the keywords and phrases on the page. However, it is still an important part of SEO and should be optimised to make full use of the engines that do use them.

meta description is more important than meta keyword. The words used in meta description helps while searching in the search engine to bring your site in the listings.

**thefandango** · 08-27-2009, 01:41 PM

Meta keyword is now irrelevant. Dont even waste your time putting it into a new site.
