Sep 21, 2009 - Where can I find out what information you use to rank (other than content of course)? And where can I find info on stuff like robot.text, which you mention so often?

Sep 21, 2009 - This is known since 2000. Still so called "SEO" offer META tag keywords optimisation

Sep 21, 2009 - I post a lot of tutorial videos on my wordpress blog, and I add tags to each post so search engines know what they are about. Are they effective at all? Should I trouble to write an article to each one of them? Say-Web, Jerusalem

Sep 22, 2009 - Finally, we got a definite answer. Keywords meta tag is not required et all and Description Meta tag is just for snippets, no impact on search engine rankings. Forget meta tags i say.

Sep 22, 2009 - Thanks for the keyword meta tag insight Matt, very helpful.

Sep 22, 2009 - This is far from new news - but hopefully all the fake SEO experts out there will stop banging on about it now.

Sep 23, 2009 - Ok, so what do you use then.

teddyzetterlund Says:

Sep 25, 2009 - You do realize that there is _loads_ of other useful meta tags, right?

almightyvegeta87 Says:

Sep 25, 2009 - only meta description and keywords are required out of which keywords tag is ignored by Google

teddyzetterlund Says:

Sep 25, 2009 - Maybe it's just me being confused here. Required? From what I can see in the HTML spec no meta tags are _required_. "User agents are not required to support meta data mechanisms. For those that choose to support meta data, this specification does not define how meta data should be interpreted." Anyways, I'm just saying that there is still a lot of meta tags that can be useful (not only for SEO), so I don't agree with your statement "Forget meta tags i say.".

Sep 25, 2009 - Good points for web designers ... I do believe some other engines do take those into consideration still though so good to put some in as you pointed out in discription etc. ~Expect Miracles Shane

Sep 29, 2009 - I have another question. What about rich snippet? Maybe you don t use metatag keyword content but you ll need some rules in order to evaluate the information... The name is not metatag keyword or subject content but ...whatever de name is...

Oct 14, 2009 - I am sure he is right, what he fails to say is what they do use. I upload videos and cant even find them myself so dont expect others to find. Often no matter how many people upload an item one or two same names always come up in the search. Try typing in a Gospel song and see one name every where, Why is that.
