Relevant Meta Tags
Years ago webmasters of questionable sites learned about keyword stuffing and meta tag manipulation. If you were online back then, you could type just about anything into a search engine and innocently click on results that ended up taking you to sites that were offensive and had nothing to do with your search query. That was the result of SEO dirty tricks!Perhaps understanding that, you can now relate to why some search engines ignore meta tags and penalize sites that employ keyword stuffing.
After all, if your targeted visitor is a person searching for information about a particular subject, you want to provide them with relevant results... right? Absolutely!
Meta tags, like keyword density, are easily abused and misused.
However, you should not ignore them on your web pages. Meta tags are supposed to describe what the page is about and you should use them to briefly describe each page. Some search engines will still use your meta description in search results. And keep in mind that any heavy optimization of these tags may trip the spam filters in search engines. Use them, but lightly, and don't depend on them. They have limited use.
Write a short description of your website in the meta description tag, and put your most important keywords in the meta keywords tag. Assign each of your pages with an appropriate title, preferrably using the most important keyword(s), but absolutely within reason.
Keep your SEO clean and relevant. Keep your content fresh and interesting. Then do everything legitimate that you can to promote your site, and you will experience the success you crave.
