Meta Tags - And Why Blogs Are Better Than Websites
I had a conversation with a client today and she was very proud to tell me that she spent $3000 on some SEO work which included making her meta tags very robust. Yet, her website still comes up on page 26 for her keywords!
It is the belief of many, that Google places very little value, if any, on Meta tags. Again, this is why blogs can give you more lift and better rankings.
Google looks at the title, the anchor text of your links, the keywords used in your content, and proper use of tags in a blog. All of these components, done properly and consistently, will raise you to the top of the search engines! GUARANTEED.
Quit wasting money on SEO for your website. Anyone can load up a website with a ton of meta tags. But Google is looking for relevance and consistency.
Despite the claims of some SEO companies and many people who have read a forum post about SEO so understand better than anyone how to SEO a website, the keywords meta tag is not used by Google as a part of its ranking algorithm… not even a tiny bit! People have abused keyword meta tags, so now Google basically ignores them.
Google even blogged about its disinterest in the keywords meta tag here on its Webmaster Tools blog, together with a video showing little Google cares about the keywords meta tag. - There is a lot of valuable info actually in the Free Google Webmaster Tools, under Guidelines.
You should read it.

I think it is still important to have the meta tags written out nicely even if it just for the user experience so when your site does start to rank you can give the visitor something to click on.

Thank you and valid point. For many, the challenge is they're not masters of their web domain and have to rely on someone else at a fee to do so for them.
Best,
Derrick

Business intelligence tools are a type of application software designed to report, analyze and present data. The tools generally read data that have been previously stored, often, though not necessarily, in a data warehouse or data mart.
