The Effective Use of Meta Tags for SEO

Keyword meta tags are tags that are specifically written for search engines and are not visible to website users. It used to be an important aspect of SEO, where search engines based search results on the keyword tags. It was also used to direct users to the right webpage, even if they used misspelled search words.

However, keyword meta tags have fallen by the wayside in terms of their ability to affect rankings as search engine algorithms became more sophisticated. Nowadays, search engines can “know” the topic and coverage of the webpage just by looking at the contents. Search engines are also able to automatically correct any misspellings. Thus, you have the option of using them or simply doing away with meta tags.

Don’t:

• Use keywords that don’t appear in the page.
• Use the same meta keyword tag for all the webpages

Do:

• Decide whether to use them or not. If you decide not to, simply remove them from the website.
• Ensure that the meta tags used also appear somewhere in the webpage.
• When using meta tags, use 250 characters or less.
• Use unique keywords in the meta tags for each webpage. Use variations of a keyword.
