    anything "meta" is meta physical data - so behind the scenes... descriptions are used to describe things... basically another place to put your keywords...

    use the nodir tag to pick your description etc.

    Basically, meta description is a text that pops out in search results under the titles of webpages. It gives a brief description of your site content and making up eye-catching meta descriptions will help you generate :)

    As for meta keywords , Tag is where you list the keywords and keyword phrases that you've targeted for that page. They don't have great SEO value, but quite useful for search engines crawlers.

    Keywords - can be found all over the page- in the title, heading, body, etc.

    :)

    A description describes the site, in the meta tag it's what search engines use for it's description in a directory, it's what they use to describe the site.
    virtually the same thing, just a different way to apply it.
