What are meta tags, exactly? Are they a requirement for your website? In this article, I will explain what meta tags are and how they can benefit you.
**Special note: The HTML tags have been replaced with parenthesis because Associated Content doesn't allow them. Be sure you change the parenthesis below back to HTML tags, or your code will not function. The meta keywords section is where you would type in words that describe your website. The meta keywords you could use to describe your website would be turkeys, Thanksgiving, birds, feathers, wings; etc. Learn about their habitats, what they eat, and much more! Learn about their habitats, what they eat, and much more! Here's an example of what the keywords and the meta name would look like for the turkey website.")
(META NAME="Description" CONTENT="This website is dedicated to all things involving wild turkeys.(/TITLE)
(HEAD)
(meta name="keywords" content="turkeys, Thanksgiving, birds, feathers, wings.
(HTML)
(TITLE)My turkey site. Meta tags consist of meta keywords and the meta name.
Meta tags go between the (HEAD) and (/HEAD) tags. A meta name example for the turkey site would be as follows: This website is dedicated to all things involving wild turkeys.
The meta name is similar to the meta keywords with the exception that you need to write a sentence or two about your website. Pictures, links, videos, text; etc. These individuals would add a popular topic name to their meta tags, so that their website would be ranked higher in the search engines.")
(/HEAD)
(BODY)
This is where the content for your turkey site goes. I always separate the keywords with a comma, but I've heard that you can use a semicolon if you like.**
Meta tags are basically keywords that tell search engines what your website is about. The reason for this is because people tend to cheat at their meta tag usage.
For
clarification: () = .
(/BODY)
(/HTML)
It's important to note that Google doesn't use meta tags as much as the other search engines(if at all). For example, let's say your website is all about turkeys.

LeBron James Says it was the Biggest Shot of His CareerWhat is it about the number "23"? Michael Jordan. Lebron James.
LeBron James keeps on making remarkable shots. Apparently the guy just can't help himself. Not only does he swish a "one take" half-court shot on CBS' "60 Minutes" right after Steve Kroft asked him what he was going to do with the ball in his hand, but he drills a buzzer-beater in Friday night's game -- one that is being hailed as better than even Michael Jordan's last second shot in Cleveland -- against the leading Orlando Magic to pull his Cleveland Cavliers into a 1-1 game tie in the Eastern Conference finals of the NBA playoffs.
Lebron James, or "King" James as he is sometimes called, has lit up the NBA since joining the Cavaliers right after high school. He won the NBA's most prestigious individual award, the Most Valuable Player, for this past season. And he isn't done. After he and the Cleveland Cavaliers took out the Detroit Pistons and the Atlanta Hawks in eight straight games, they looked as if they might coast into the NBA Finals.
But Orlando was having none of that. Even after CNN's Anderson Cooper showed LeBron James' behind the backboard rainbow shot -- another swish -- from a far corner during warm-ups, the Magic decided not to be too intimidated, took the James-led Cavaliers to a last second finish in Game 1 of the match-up, and came away winners.
They were looking to do it again Friday. After the Magic's Hedo Turkoglu hit a 12-foot shot from the lane to give his team a two-point edge, the Cavaliers set up with LeBron James getting the ball. With the last second ticking away, the buzzer about to sound, he had turned, stepped back, then, off-balanced and fading from three-point range, shot the ball just over the outstretched hand of Rashard Lewis. The ball hit hard and low on the inside back of the rim and went through.
The Quicken Loans Arena exploded.
LeBron James said it was the biggest shot in his career afterward during the post-game press conference. He said, "Rashard Lewis played it perfect... I mean, they played it perfect. It was just a good shot."
The Cleveland Cavaliers allowed the Orlando Magic to overcome a 23-point deficit and come back to nearly win two straight in Cleveland, something that the Cavaliers might not have been able to overcome had they lost. But they didn't. And nobody is going to remember that 23-point comeback, either.
They will still remember Michael Jordan's game-winning shot as a great shot made in Cleveland.
But they'll remember and memorialize LeBron James' game-winning las second shot as a great shot made in Cleveland by a Cavalier.

Watch the LeBron James last second game-winning shot.
