Optimization of Metatags

Meta Tags have two important things which are the meta description and meta keyword tags. Search engines may display the meta description as part of the search results, but the meta keywords tags should not visible in search results.

Some SEO experts think meta tags are dead. Even so, many of these same experts continue to use meta tags in their sites.

When ranks a page Yahoo says they use the Keyword Meta Tag. So it makes sense to add one for Yahoo and any other minor search engines that still use. In Google ,the Description Meta Tag won't result in a boost in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs), but the description might be used for the description for your SERP listings in Google.

         about 150 characters">
