    Meta tags are very important in SEO. They are used in HTML and they describe the contents of a web page.

    Meta Tags are very important to rank the website on desired keywords.
    With the help of title tag you can give the title of your page and with the description tag your can specify the description of the website: These two tags are most important for search engines.

    <meta name="Keywords" content="blah, blah, blah" /> in no longer used by Google as a ranking factor. However other search engines still give it some importance when ranking pages and therefore can be used.

    <meta name="description" content="blah blah blah" /> is also not a ranking factor. Some people might debate otherwise but one thing is for sure, it is no longer a major ranking factor. However it a very effective sales copy and if used correctly can increase the organic click through rate considerably.

    Hope this helps.

    Hey,

    Keywords are the words on the basis of which you're gonna to optimize your website. They are the words on which you need high rankings in search engine results.

    And Meta tags are the tags which are useful to give some useful information to crawler...

    In terms of SEO two meta tags are important.

    1) Meta description
    2) Meta keywords

    Currently, Google is not giving as much impotence to Meta tags as it was giving previously.

    To know "How to use these two meta tags" you may search on google.
    You'll get plenty of information about this.

    Meta tags were more relevant some 5-10 years ago. Search engines do not give them as much weightage as they used to earlier.

    The meta description tag is important because Google shows it in its pages. A good description can be the difference between a visitor clicking through to check out your site and him ignoring your site in favour of someone else's.

    It doesn't hurt to use meta tags though. The keyword tag will also give you an indication as to which keywords your competitors are targetting.

    Purpose of meta keyword tags? Nothing. Exclude it if you want.

    I hope you don't give that as paid advice.
