   “Even though we sometimes use the description meta tag for the snippets we show, we still don’t use the description meta tag in our ranking.”

   Am I the only one who finds this really big news?

   The DESCRIPTION meta tag? I’ve always read and practiced that it has some value for ranking.
   I have never read an article from any SEO professional that has stated that the description meta tag is just for snippets. Never!
   Find one. I challenge you!

   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?

    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

    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.

    This is far from new news – but hopefully all the fake SEO experts out there will stop banging on about it now.
