The META tags let you provide additional information about your page for use by search engines and indexing "robots". The description field should contain a brief description of the page, while the keywords field can have a list of words separated by commas to be used in indexing. Unfortunately, due to extensive abuse by spamdexers, search engines don't make much use of these tags nowadays, which is a shame because they could be very useful if used honestly and logically. Still, it does no harm to use them, and some of the indexers do still make use of them.

 

TIP: Choose your titles and descriptions carefully for each page of your site... don't just mindlessly copy something repeatedly!
