    with my hosting i have no access to add a meta tag which sucks and I'm changing host in a couple months... but I'm indexed in search engines but do you think I will see a jump in visitors when I add a meta tag?

    If you meta tags, especially the description one, is rich with proper relevant keywords, you will get better SERP, which should bring more visits.

    Meta tags are similar to a site's content; it is intended for the target visitors then the search engines which probably give you good traffic if you use those metas correctly.

    The correct usage of the meta title and description tags will help with positioning, they will provide you with the ability to control and focus your keyword requirement.

    I agree with all the views above. I think proper use of meta tags would help you to rank your site better in SERPs.

    erm... the meta-description and meta-keywords will do little for ranking in Google ... Yahoo still seems to give the meta-description some wieght... but none of the major engines use te meta-keywords tag....

    I wouldn't get too worked up over it to be honest.

    Yes, you should use it in proper positioning to help rank your keywords in SERP.

    Adding a meta tag may have higher chances to get higher in SERPs. :D

    I am not sure what do you mean by this?

    Unless, they do not give you FTP or cpanel, there is no way you can't add meta tags.
