Meta-tags Describe Your Site
Your web site needs meta-tags. It doesn't matter what some search engine expert told you. The fact is that thousands of search engines still use your meta content to tell searchers what your site is about.
What is a meta-tag?
Meta-tags look a little like this:
<title>Page title</title>
<
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<
META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="Keywords separated by commas">
<
META NAME="description" CONTENT="Description of the page">
<
META NAME="robots" CONTENT="FOLLOW,INDEX">
Meta-tags should be at the top of your source code on every page of your site. You might not be a meta-tag expert but that's no excuse. There are web sites that let you make your meta-tags for free--with all the bells and whistles.

Meta-tags and page titles are closely tied , so don't overlook
your page titles, either.
