E-Commerce, Web Businesses - Meta Out?


Expert: Ezra Silverton - 2/16/2009

Question
I was just educated on the importance of meta tags when all of a sudden everywhere around me I am reading that they don't mean anything anymore. i ma trying to get a website going so I don't know what to do now.

Answer
Hi Diana,

Most search engines have ignored meta tags since the late 90's.  Your most important tag is <title>. <description> can be used by the search engines for the text used under your title for a search result listing. <keywords> you can really ignore.

Good luck,

Ezra Silverton
