Meta tags were once an important SEO tool for your website. As search engines have gotten better and SEO tactics blacker meta tags have gotten little attention. Blackhat SEOs stuffed meta tags with all sorts of nonsense and search engines stopped paying attention. Most webmasters no longer use them, most search engines stopped using them. So I was surprised to see an article about meta tags on Google’s Webmaster site this week. ( Improve snippets with a meta description makeover )
Meta tags are included between the <head></head> tags of your HTML. You can create keywords and a description of your page using meta tags.
<head>
<meta name=”description” content=”description of this webpage goes here”>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”keywords, separated, by, commas, go, here”>
There are other meta tags you may or may not find useful.
I guess even on the web everything old is new again and things left behind will be recycled for future use.
