the <meta> element provides meta-information about your page, such as descriptions and keywords for search engines and refresh rates.
Examples
Define keywords for search engines:
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, DHTML, CSS, XML, XHTML, JavaScript, VBScript" />

Define a description of your web page:
<meta name="description" content="Free Web tutorials on HTML, CSS, XML, and XHTML" />

Define the last revision of your page:
<meta name="revised" content="Hege Refsnes, 6/10/99" />

Refresh page every 5 seconds:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5" />

keywords description revised is common that everyone know ,but what about generator author and others? AND MORE,what I wanna know is:"could these make sense to se?" does author make sense to se? revised make sense to se(google or else)? if I change revised, does se recache my page? I think it is not bullshit.many DP member here do not know and want to confirm.

 

meta tags are getting depricted (old) . There main purpose was to provide information about the page to the web search spiders so that they can be found easily. but then people started abusing them so now most search engines don't bother going through them.

There are also a few page load effects which can be done by META TAGS
