What are META tags?
META Tags are HTML codes (Website programming language) that allow you to describe your website to automated search engine spiders that periodically visit your website looking for changes or new information. Common META tags include TITLE, DESCRIPTION and KEYWORD tags. The TITLE and DESCRIPTION tags are most often used by the search engine to describe your website to search engine users. The KEYWORD tag is used to associate your website with specific search terms on the search engines. While this tag used to be very important, the top search engines either ignore this tag or give it very little weight when determining your search engine ranking.
