I have a wordpress blog and not sure if I should edit the meta tags that were automatically created when I setup Wordpress? Do Meta tags matter? Thanks
The description meta is the most important, this is the description displayed underneath your search results.
Simple answer, yes Meta tags are very important for getting your pages content recognised by S.E's. I would advise changing the meta tags on all your blogs pages to consist of words/phrases that describe the content on that particular page.
There is an plugin known as "all in one seo pack" Try that And meta tags surely matters .. specially meta description
Yeah, Google is not very generous about giving me traffic yet but I noticed that some SERPs did seem to increase again when they updated my new meta descriptions. My Google account had been showing the blank meta descr. as an "error" and anything that means fixing it has to be a good thing. Thanks for the heads up on the plugin, I'm going to go try it out for my wordpress sites. BTW this plugin is awesome, just wish I had known about it 50+ wordpress posts ago! Better late than never, but this really should be in by default. Not that I'm complaining about having an advantage...
