    Basically a Meta Tag is an element of web page which is frequently called Meta elements. They are HTML or XHTML elements which provide structured Metadata about a web page, placed as tags in the head section of an HTML document, and specify page descriptions, keywords and other metadata which is not provided in the other head elements.

    A meta tag is a tag (that is, a coding statement) in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) that describes some aspect of the contents of a Web page. The information that you provide in a meta tag is used by search engines to index a page so that someone searching for the kind of information the page contains will be able to find it. The meta tag is placed near the top of the HTML in a Web page as part of the heading.

    Sure Elbert, I will provide you an example open this website www.ajooba.ca and that go inside of source page of the website. This is the best example from my side. In source page you can find all meta tags.
    and About Geo Tag : Geo tag is geographic tag that is use to show your location to the community. GeoTag-enabled information used to find location-based news, websites, or other resources. For Local promotion or traffic it is the best Tag used by webmaster.

    I am really confused about the Meta Tags. Is it at all effective to use them. I don't think so. If you do not have Meta tag or description, then Google will automatically take the first line of your content from '<body>' part. Then, why using the meta tags? Is not it a time wasting stuff?

    Metatags are read by the bots or crawlers, like google bot. It tell's them what your site is about.

    Be careful what you put there these days with the latest update!!
