Not really. Actually not at all. I got am email from one of my customer's "other" web person, apparently she thought the meta keywords tag could make a site a PR2 or PR3.

Quote:

well if you think so how his site ever will make to top search engine without meta *tags and description? *then it looks like keyword stuffffffffffffffing. LOL
*when i was stafffffffffffing like this my sites I was nowhere. Now my sites PR 2 and 3 . *you sure you don't want to make a changes with H1 and meta tags?

This was an actual email. And yes I copied and pasted that.

I wanted to create this thread of general discussion and wanted to inform others who think this way, that they are wrong.

Funny thing is, I looked up her site and she had a PR2 rated site. Interesting, but I know for a fact it was not from the Meta Keywords tag alone...

LOL! Right.

These types of emails are getting more and more frequent. People are trying to milk everyone who's "making money online" or running a website.

Oh no, they weren't spamming me or adding me to their email listings, they were ALREADY working with my customer and had to email me a few things.

*shakes head* everyone's an expert these days.

I had a client who was paying family and friends to keep typing keywords in to Google, visit his site, go back to Google and type something else, he was convinced it was boosting his rankings lol.

When the customer does not know....
they can be sold anything by a slick sales person...
Or an "expert"....

Of course it is. That's why I posted it... to allow the educated webmasters to discuss and laugh at the so claimed "other professionals" within the industry.

Let 'em go for what they want.
At the end of the day, they'll be focusing on PR, while you're making all the money,
