Why still use meta tags if google is not using meta tags as a reference

You all must have been with the news that google no longer use meta tags as a reference,
then how to get a response from google than meta tags?
Can anyone help me?

 

But Yahoo and some other search engine give preference to meta tags.

 

Indeed. Besides Google that generates about 70% of my organic traffic aol, bing and yahoo still eats them from my hand...

 

Yes true Google doesn't pay attention to the meta keywords tag, but you never know if they change their mind, plus
other smaller engines use this tag. So, IMO it's good practice to keep it.
The meta description tag, although there is some doubt as to how relevant it is in google's algo, it does show up in SERPS, so it's important to word it properly.

 

google still crawl and index meta description.. they use it as description on snippet result..

 

took make a certain webpage professional looking as well as make the tags as a preview of what the pages is all about

 

Google is the one fish of the big ocean of the Internet marketing you can say it's a shark and the king of ocean too but there are many other things that you need to consider and they also stand on their importance and they take meta- tags into consideration and Google said it's not Important to put Meta tags but BOT whenever gives a visit to your site do crawl your meta tags and it's easy for him to understand your website and rank you according to the tags you have mentioned.

 

Google does ignore Meta Keywords but still condier Meta Description. The good and relevancy on meta description still help you "a little" for SEO in Google.

Apart from this, I do not think webmasters do optimizing their sites just for one search engine - Google. There are another big two, Yahoo and Bing. Its traffic could be valuable even it has a little percentage compared to Google, but it does not hurt you to get the free traffics heh?

 

meta description should be a sales message to encourage people to click thru to your site as google uses that to display in SERPs. It has no SEO significance in google (though some will argue it does).

 

Meta tags are definitely not as important as they used to be, but they're not completely useless/irrelevant either, so don't neglect it totally. There's no need to spend hours obsessing on just the right keywords for your meta tags, though.

 

I still write meta description for some clients when they only have 'images' on the page. It directly converts to the text that's shown in search results.

 

Description meta tag is still crawl by google so use it advisable ...

 

I also think like this through my experience.
