What are "Meta Tags"
Meta tags are a lot of things, but basicaly they contain information about the Web page that will not be directly displayed to the person reading the page. The most common types of meta tags are:
keywords:
Keywords are used by search engines to make the page more easily searchable. You would put words that are used on the page that best describe the page.
Description:
The description is used by search engines to provide a short synopsis of the page. You would put a sentence or two that describes what the page is about.
