More than one member asked me the same question after I published my previous blog - https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/robert-a/blog/easy...
These members asked about the various tags, namely Meta and Title, they should use and where within their articles/blogs.
There seems to be a wide difference of opinion regarding Meta Tags because the ‘Experts’ believe them to be obsolete. I beg to differ.
Meta tags are not obsolete and I have no hesitation in saying that meta tags are still used by all the major search engines and are extremely important to search engine ranking. If you need proof of how important meta tags are, try removing your meta tags and watch what happens to your search engine results.
In my opinion, and remember it is only my opinion, Meta tags are frequently overlooked but they can and do improve the ranking of any website.
How do I know this? I have tested my meta tags time and time again just to be absolutely sure they are being used by the search engines to rank my website’s content; therefore I can definitely say that meta tags are used for a description of the webpage and for indexing within the search results.
Now we come to the Title Tag. The title tag is one of the most important on-page SEO factors to consider. This is because it’s the first tag that search engine spiders read and place a high level of importance on the keywords found within it.

The title tag is also used for the title of your listing in the search results.
Correct title tag optimization is essential and will result in a dramatic increase in your search engine ranking. The title tag should contain at least one or more keywords to be of any relevance to the webpage.
Search engine spiders will go on to read the Description Meta Tag next.
This tag is often used as a description of your website. The description tag should also contain a few keywords.
The Keyword Meta Tag is also very important to search engine ranking giving search engine spiders a sample of relevant text and content within a webpage.
So to finish folks I have said it before and will say it again no matter who disagrees with me - To achieve high search engine ranking please optimize your meta data because proper on-page optimization will greatly improve where your site is placed by the search engines.
Have a read of an article on one of my sites. It contains information that is relevant to this blog and also contains links to more information on Tags.
