As you most probably know, meta tags are the one and only thing that will get you on to a good search engine.
Here are a few tips on how to make good meta tags.
Tip no 1.
When a search engine checks to see if your page is alright for its search engine, it checks from the top to the bottom.
So you must put you most important meta tags at the top of your html source (top meaning just under the <Head>command). The ones you should put at the top are
your title, then your keywords, then your description.
Tip no 2.
When you are entering keywords do not repeat a keyword more then ten times because on some search engines they consider this spamming.
Tip no 3.
On some search engines they use the first few lines text of your website for the description so, you should make the first few lines of text on your page interesting.
Tip no 3.
Make your keywords original, because thousands of people are going to put the obvious keyword. An example is instead of saying cats in your keywords say things relating to it such as felines, or siamese cats as well as just plain old cats.
Tip no 4.
Most search engines will accept the first one thousand characters in your keyword list, try to make your keyword list one thousand characters long for the optimum results.
Tip no 5.
When you are filling in the description meta tag. You must make the information you are filling in as interesting a possible.
