    A special HTML tag that provides information about a Web page. Unlike normal HTML tags, meta tags do not affect how the page is displayed.

    First of all, don't let me mislead you, meta tags are not the "magic bullet" that will skyrocket your site to the top of all search page listings.A meta tag is a hidden tag that lives in the <HEAD> of an HTML document.The meta tag has three possible attributescontent,http-equiv, andname.Meta tags do not have a closing tag.

    The <meta> tag provides metadata about the HTML document. Metadata will not be displayed on the page, but will be machine parsable.

    Meta tags are HTML codes that are inserted into the header on a web page, after the title tag. In the context of search engine optimization, when people refer to meta tags, they are usually referring to the meta description tag and the meta keywords tag.

    Meta tags is an important part of any site that tell about the page and search engine use them for display in search result. major search engine decide which page is going to display against user's query based on Meta tags. so meta tags are special tags in html that tell some special story about page apart from how the the will display.it must be write in page Head section.
