What are Meta Tags?



Some people in the online community thinks that Meta tags are not much used now days by Google or any other search engine. But I said these are the very basic and important part. Meta tags basically are the hidden tag that is written in the <HEAD> of an HTML document. These are the tags that provide additional information about the document.
In SEO meta tags have the same functionality. These are the very important part of onsite optimization.They provide the additional information about your site to any search engine and improve your position on getting at the first page of Google or any other search engine.
Meta tags look like this
<meta name="name" content="content" />

In SEO Meta tags are used for two reasons
Ø      Meta keywords
Ø      Meta keyword description
You should focus on your description and keywords for getting the top position on search engine.
Meta Keyword Tag
Keywords are the words that identify what the webpage is about? These are usually used in search engines to categorize your site and make you visible for people. This helps you to be visible for people and found you more quickly. It is important to review your keywords and make sure that they are as concise, brief and specific as possible.
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, HTML help, meta tags, promotion, web sites">

Meta Keyword Description Tag
In this tag you have to enter the deception for your website holding all the keyword that you have used for your site.
Basically the description tag describes what is about your page? This is the description that will appear against the search result for your site on search engine. For example if you search for momseo.blogspot.com you will see the description below the link.
<meta name="description" content="Boost your marketing strategy with meta tags">
