Can anyone give me some good tips on how they increase their meta relevance ? for some reason on my personal site I can't get it past 90% - driving me nuts. Some tips would be appreciated

And what on earth is "meta relevance"???????

****...! You didn't get the memo; I was supposed to fill you in. It's a new tag. You put it in the head section, and it looks like this: <meta name="relevance" content="95%" />

I heard you shouldn't tell them it's 100 % or they won't believe you.

Ah!
That explains it then, just a mail problem.

hopefully your question isn't a serious one.

actually it is, I do know that meta tags are fairly usless these days but still curious; tks for the smarty responses - i'll take the question elsewhere.

No problem,
There's no answer of course, simply because, as you said yourself meta tags are useless, so it wouldn't matter in the slightest whether someones "tool" came up with an imaginary figure of 1% or 199%

Personally I'd suggest that you stop "driving yourself nuts" over something that is of even less use than toolbar PR.

Paralysis by analysis. Spending 80 % of your time on something that's 20 % helpful.

Meta keywords are invisible, so it's the easiest thing in the world to hack, no jscript, anything like that. Search engines have been ignoring them since the 1990s. Your meta description will show up in the SERPs only if you don't have a listing at dmoz and yahoo.

Forget meta relevance. I've never heard of it before today, and it's part of a tool that exists solely for the purpose of linkbait. Which seems pretty effective, judging by this thread. I can write up an aspx saying your web site should be coded with tables and that css will be punished in Google. That doesn't make it true, but if I make the text red, bold, and maybe a bigger font, people will do it.

How about the idea of promoting a new <anti-meta name="description" content="here you type in something completely unrelated to the content of your site just to trick 'em into spending more time & extra care just to make sure they rank you right" />

If we bold it in red, it will become law - especially if its in a bigger font.
