    The meta tags are a very important part of the HTML code of your web page. They are read by the search engines but are not displayed as a part of your web page design. Usually they include a concise summary of the web page content and you should include your relevant keywords in them. Most meta tags are included within the 'header' code of a website. The most important tags are the title, description, keyword s and robot tags.

    A meta description tag is a snippet of [FONT=Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]HTML[/FONT] code in a web page [FONT=Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]header[/FONT] that summarizes the content that is on the web page. The [FONT=Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]meta[/FONT] description is usually placed after the title tag and before the meta keywords tag. When optimizing a web page for search engines (SEO), it is considered a best practice to use meta description tags.

    meta keywords tag and meta description tags are not the main factor search engines consider when ranking sites, they should not be left off the page. A meta description tag is supposed to be a brief and concise summary of your page's content. A meta keyword tag is supposed to be a summary list of the most important words on your page. They were both proposed in order to make using the web easier. Unfortunately, webmasters over the years have abused meta tags so much that search engine creators have had to de-emphasize their importance in their algorithms.

    Using meta descriptions is good because you can create a short sales bit for your user instead of having google create it for you. But you should make sure that you include the search phrase in it and do a better job than google. Otherwise, it's better to just leave it blank and let google do it for you.

    Meta tags are not displayed, but tell the browsers specific information about the page.
    Meta description should be maximum 155 characters with spaces short description of your page

    Meta tags are html tags that provide information or data about a web document like Html specification, content description, global content or local etc.Meta keywords are not used by Google anymore to determine what your web page is about.A Meta tag has no effect in displaying a page in browser.Meta tags are arguably among the most important on-page HTML elements when it comes to SEO. Meta tags consist of three tags that reside in the of your HTML code and should be found at the very top of your page.Meta tags have their own algorithm, based on the URL of your page, the title tag, headline and the content.

    Meta description tags, while not important to search engine rankings, are extremely important in gaining user click-through from search engine result pages (SERPs).
    <meta name"description" content="Here is a description of the applicable page">
    The keyword tags should contain between 4 and 10 keywords. They should be listed with commas and should correspond to the major search phrases you are targeting. Every word in this tag should appear somewhere in the body, or you might get penalized for irrelevance. No single word should appear more than twice, or it may be considered spam.
