What are the most important META tags to have to increase my search engine rankings?
Most major search engines no longer use META tags to determine search engine placement. Rather they use content to determine search engine placement since the searchers are interested at what is on a page on not what the page says about itself. In addition to continent, other factors include semantical coding (using
for paragraphs, etc), text in links referring to your site; position of search terms in your page (how close to the top, etc), number of sites linking to your page and so forth. FWIW, when I removed the meta keywords tag from my site, I jumped up five spots. Now I hover between second and third place.
