Do you really want top search engine rankings - Just add meta tags and your website will magically rise to the top, right? Wrong. Meta tags are one piece in a large algorithmic puzzle that major search engines look at when deciding which results are relevant to show users who have typed in a search query.

While there is still some debate about which meta tags remain useful and important to search engines, meta tags definitely aren't a magic solution to gaining rankings in Google, Bing, Yahoo, or elsewhere – so let's kill that myth right at the outset. However, meta tags help tell search engines and users what your site is about, and when meta tags are implemented incorrectly, the negative impact can be substantial and heartbreaking.

Here's a code example of meta tags:

• The Title Tag - <title>My website name</title>
• The Description Meta Tag - meta name="description" content="Awesome Description Here"
• The Keywords Meta Tag - meta name="keywords" content="realted keywords (comma separated)"
• Told the spider when to come back - meta name="revisit-after" content="30 days"
• Told the page to refresh - meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30"
• Told the browser the distribution - meta name="distribution" content="web"
• Told the page to redirect/refresh - meta http-equiv="refresh" content="x_seconds; url=http://www.yourhost.com/pagetosendto.html"
• Robots Meta Tag - META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW", META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX, NOFOLLOW", META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW", META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX, FOLLOW"
• The Charset Tag - meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
