    Meta tags are keywords which tell search engines about the site, these keywords are viewed by search engine bots. When any person searches then search engines based upon the meta tags, title and keywords in the site displays the results.

    One of the very few communication methods between a website and search engine (and browser) OG meta is good for social sharing too.

    Meta tags are HTML codes that are inserted into the header on a web page, after the title tag. Meta tags are HTML tags that provide information about a web page to web crawlers/programs that visit your website. They are not visible to normal human visitors.

    Meta tags are html tags that provide information or data about a web document like Html specification, content description, global content or local etc. A Meta tag has no effect in displaying a page in browser. Meta tags reside within head section of an html document.Meta tags are used by owners or SEO service companies as a secret weapon to became top in popular in search engines. Those days many CEOs, website owners cleverly used those meta tags and misguided search engines. Due to such unethical practice, meta tag manipulation is lost it

    A special HTML tag that provides details about a Website. Unlike normal HTML labels, meta data do not affect how the site is shown. Instead, they provide details such as who created the site, how often it is modified, what the site is about, and which keywords represent the page's content. Many searh engine use this details when building their crawls and make his index like google,yahoo,msn etc.

    Thanks,

    Meta elements are the HTML or XHTML <meta … > element used to provide structured metadata about a Web page. Multiple elements are often used on the same page: the element is the same, but its attributes are different. Meta elements can be used to specify page description, keywords and any other metadata not provided through the other head elements and attributes.

    A Meta tag is an HTML tag that describes the contents of a Web page. Meta tags appear in the first couple of lines of an HTML page, as a directive to the Search Engines. This is a useful way to categorize a website so that it is able to come up in search results. These tags provide search engines with very important information about a web site and can help a user to find a relevant site quickly.
