    Hey,

    Wanting to find out what is better than META Tags in directing traffic to your site.

    Is there anything that is more effective and if so where can you find it?

    Is there any sites that accurately list your competitors keywords?

    Thanks,:)

    Everything is better than meta tags.

    Try link baiting.

    Link Baiting means more time and it isn't a shoe-in to work.

    What's more effective?

    Link baiting is the most effective tactic.

    Yes it takes more time than adding some meta tags but you can't expect anything to work in less than a few months.

    Only meta worth having on a page is: description

    I agree with both. Description Meta is absolutely useful....
    while for the link bait si a killer tools as well..but do you think all sites can build it? what would you do if you run a a restaurant's site?

    If I ran a restaurant site I would add a blog with great tips and recipes and interact with the thousands of food bloggers out there. Allow some of them to guest post on your blog. Give people free food to link to you.

    Put up some meta tags but really focus on inbound links.

    meta tags is ignored by google because of this i dont use meta tags for most of my sites .

    i think focusing on the link building is better than the meta tags

    meta tags hasn't got many effect nowhere. The title and description tags is where you should take more time an work on it.
