whats the word on meta tags?

I have read several very in depth articles on meta tags. Some people say that they are well.....useless while other say that they are an important part of every website. Some search engines use them and some don't.

Well i ran a little test. I set up two sites on my server. Don't do it if you don't have the money for domains. Anyway i set these sites up and submitted them both to google. one with meta tags and one without. as a result this is what happened.

The one with meta tags was indexed much faster then the one without though i did submit the one with meta tags before the other. Google pulled the titla and description right out of the meta tag and description. matching the keywords to the descrition and words on the page.

The page without meta tags had a title of really a mix of words and the descrition was pulled from two different parts of the page.

Basically the meta tags made it easier for google to index the pages and made it more friendly for the website view. as far as search engine optimization goes im still watching but the meta tags help a lot i would recommend them to any website owner.

meta tags are always important in search engine optimization.

who told you that it is not important. meta tags are important and should not be more than 30 words. and there should be not duplicate words in meta tags.

and meta description is also very important. it is the text that shows under you page title in google search results page.

so it should be very nice and attrative text to attract visitors. it will be very helpful if you put different meta description and different meta keyword on each page.

search engine likes it :)
