Role of Meta Tags on SEO

Description of Meta tags:
Meta tags arethe hidden HTML tags in an HTML document used to describe about a Web page. The two important meta tags are the meta description and meta keywords tags. Let's take a closer look at each meta tag.
and another meta tag is "content created by" meta tag

Sample meta tags:

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Meta Tags</TITLE>
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Guide to what meta tags are and how you should use them.">
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="meta tags, free meta tag generators.">
</HEAD>
<BODY>

Meta description tags
The contents of metatags are always indexed by search engines such as Google ,Yahoo ,and they rank the pages based on these also as you can see the page description in a search engine results.Here the most important META
Tags are Description tags as Keywords in Description tags are mostly indexed. So incorporate as many as Keywords as in your description tag in sentences.

Now days since meta description tags areoften misused, with misleading or even false descriptions about a page. So search Engines have lowered their dependency on meta tags but they still rely on it as source of information

Some search engines, such as AltaVista a still index the contents of a meta description tag for its search results.

search engines will index the first 135-249 characters of the meta description tag contents.So write your description in such a way that in describes your site and incorporate as many as keywords at apporpriate places in describing about your website .

Include the most important keywords at the beginning of the tag. But, don't just fill the description tag with keywords.

Meta keywords tags

If you do decide to use the meta keywords tag, I suggest that you only include the most important keyword phrase in the content of the tag. The meta keywords tag should be placed just after the meta description tag.

separate keywords with commas:
Yes seperate the keywords with commas as they differentiate between one and another and the best proof for this
Major websites in Freewebhosting like freewebspace.net and free-webhosts.com

Do not use too much keywords The maximum keywords that can be used in keyword meta tag is about 10 and do not use more than 10-15 keywords if you use more than 20 keywords Spiders will simply ignore you
