Using Good META Tags
META tags are special HTML tags, located in the heading of the page (<HEAD>), giving additional information. They are not intended to the visitor but rather for the search engines.
However they are not used by search engines like they used to do... For example Google does not use them any more (only some of them). For the other search engines, you can nevertheless fill in the two following META tags:
- description: this tag is used to give a description of the site (or better, the page). Prefer one or more sentences correctly built with a series of keywords.
- keywords: this tag contains a list of keywords, separate either by commas or by spaces. You can put several forms of the most significant keywords: think in the plural or even of the spelling mistakes.
As you may have understood, the fashion is not more with the stuffing of keywords in META tags, but rather with the true content of the pages.
