Some popular sites I've seen have <meta> as "generator" or other code words. What is this? They appear to have no other keywords in the code.
Those are meta tags. These are part of the "code" that Google and other search engines look at when determining how to rank your website.
They DO NOT lead to higher rankings and if you have set-up your All in One SEO tool (as per the tutorial here at WA), then you don't have to worry about <meta> tags going forward as they are taken care of for you.

Sure cannot trump an answer from Kyle! But then I always want to ask - did that answer your question?
Yes I understand that my websites may not need anything, but I'm just curious as to why some websites that are popular apparently have the keywords hidden or coded somehow? Maybe I'm just reading the code wrong.
