    I am a newbie myself but:
    I believe a meta tag is for keywords and title for search engine and various things.

    SERPS are search engine results pages. It's the page you see when you do a google search.

    Meta tags are tags that appear in the head of your page. the only important one really is the description tag. the text contained in this tag may appear as the text snippet in the SERPS. So it should be highly descriptive of that page.

    You could look in your site stats to see what search terms people are finding you by.

    Keywords: final fantasy forum
    Your URL: http://www.finalfantasyunlimited.net
    Page depth: 10


    Yahoo!: There is no information for your query.

    Google: There is no information for your query.

    AllTheWeb: There is no information for your query.

    MSN: There is no information for your query.

    HotBot: There is no information for your query.

    This is what I get :( this is bad right?
