		<description>I&#039;m not quite sure whether it works. What I do think is that is doesn&#039;t have that much a big factor into seo as towards what backlinks have.</description>

		<description>Good information on meta keywords. It makes sense that Google does not place too much value in them. It is just not that easy to be ranked high in Google just by getting your meta keywords right.</description>

		<description>Meta tags plays one of the important role in the indexing.

But only adding these kind of meta tags will not provide u the enough traffic.Getting SERP  will depends on lot of factors.

lot of times you can see the keywords of the same frequency of two different sites have their two different SERP.


So we can&#039;t expect such traffic only adding the meta tags in our site. Meta tags are only instructors to crawlers about pages.

So Nothing will be improved if the site will not concentrate on other factors rather than using only meta tags.</description>

		<description>Alexander,

I&#039;d be very, very interested to see what proof you have for saying that CSS-designed sites rank better. My opinion is that is designer-hype from 2005 which I suppose is when you made this comment.

Just want to make sure nobody else that happens by this article and is new to SEO believes you. CSS makes changing designs easier... to a point, but has no ranking value whatsoever. 100% CSS can actually make designs harder to implement and more expensive (about 3x the cost of table-designs). My design firm uses a hybrid - CSS as much as we can, but tables for major layout blocks and areas where CSS is inconsistent between browsers.</description>

		<description>[...] I&#8217;ve been doing some research in this matter. It all started after I read the post at Entrepreneurs journey blog. The post is Do Meta Tag Keywords Matter Anymore? I decided to do a personal snooping. It is true that meta tags are always emphasized in SEO tutorials. But, isn&#8217;t it out dated in some way ? Well, you guessed it. It is, I mean, not completely. But, it doesnt seem to make a difference. I&#8217;ll stress on this some more. [...]</description>

		<description>I agree that meta keywords has no relevance well at least not as much as before. I say that because, I have meta keywords in my blog. But all the visitors I get from search engines, did not come by using those keywords. Instead of placing the keywords in meta tags, we should consantrate more in using those keywords in our content.</description>

		<description>This is definately true with Google. However I have my doubts about the effectiveness of not using meta with the smaller SERPS. Until I know for sure I&#039;m going to continue the tried and true.</description>

		<description>[...] Yaro, besides being a phenomenal researcher, is a teacher and a leader. Here&#8217; s what Yaro says about meta tags in his document, Do Meta Tag Keywords Matter Anymore? Should you be using meta tag keywords at all? Yes and no. It definitely should not be prioritized and if you have other, better SEO things to do worry about donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t spend time on your meta keywords. If you insist on using meta keywords use them sparingly, only a handful, about 10 maximum, and keep them very relevant to the page content. Less is more in this case. [...]</description>

		<description>Another useful tip is to create web sites without using TABLES for the layout.

Search engine bots look a lot more favorably on pages created with pure css.  Beside that fact, for complex pages using table layout, it&#039;s a lot easier to maintain, make changes and the code - once completed - ends up being around 40%-60% lighter than the original.  Bottom line, use css for layouts, not tables, and reap the - to some, seemingly insignificant - benefits.

By the way, Yaro, I see you finally got breaks to be read properly within comments.  Great job!</description>

		<description>Like I said in another comment to a similar article here, I&#039;m sick of the SEO &quot;hype.&quot;

Create your web site with/for it&#039;s purpose.  Don&#039;t create your web site around &quot;optimized&quot; code.

This doesn&#039;t mean to not use tags at all.

Use them, yes, but don&#039;t depend on them and don&#039;t overdo it.  They are only a tool.</description>

		<description>Certainly this is a good news.  I have been using meta keywords haphazardly on my site for a while now, since I use web applications that run a lot of pages using the same meta information.

I am glad that search engines are giving less and less weight to this often abused SEO factor.</description>

		<description>(I hope this works out or won&#039;t I look the fool ;-P )

The example meta tag you&#039;re trying to display should be escaped thus:

&lt;meta name=&quot;keywords&quot; content=&quot;entrepreneur, entrepreneurship, business, marketing, etc&quot;/&gt;

which is to say replace the less than sign with the ampersand symbol followed by lt;

Same with the great than sign, except instead of lt it&#039;s gt.

You probably already know this and had just not noticed it missing after posting.</description>
