What are Meta Tags? How does the search engine use them
Matt
Meta tags and search engines (Tags are used by major search engines to
index your web site)
Title Meta Tag
Don't make the mistake of putting your company name first, unless you
are already a household name, like Barclays or BBC. People are likely
searching for what you have to offer, not your name. See sample below I
use my main service as the first word in my tile tag
Your title tag should be written with a capital letter starting the
tag, and followed by all lowercase letters, unless you're using proper
nouns. Some people prefer to capitalise every word, too.
My title in blue below starts with WebSite Design

Description Meta Tag
The description tag in RED below is the paragraph that people will see
when your page comes up in the search results.
Your description tag should be captivating and designed to attract
business. It should be easy to read, and compel the reader to act right
now and follow your link. Without a description tag, search engines
will frequently display the first text on your page. Is yours
appropriate as a description of the page?
A proper description tag is what people will see below your title. You
should make proper use of punctuation, and with readability, use your
subject and geographical references.

Keywords Meta Tag
You'll NEVER be penalised on any search engines for using relevant
targeted keywords in moderation, and they can only help you with most,
especially Yahoo.
Avoid stuffing your keyword metatags with too many keywords. Just use
relevant tags that apply directly to the content of that particular
page, and don't overdo it.
