Meta
Tags
Meta tags are HTML codes that are
inserted into the header on a web page,
after the title tag. In the context of
search engine optimization, when people
refer to meta tags, they are usually
referring to the meta description tag and
the meta keywords tag.
The meta description tag and
the meta keywords tag are not seen by
users. Instead, these tags main purpose
is providing meta document data to user
agents, such as search engines. In
addition to the well-known meta
description and meta keywords tags, there
are other useful meta tags, including the
meta http-equiv tag, meta refresh tag,
the meta robots tag, the meta copyright
tag, and the meta author tag, etc. These
tags are used to give web browsers and
search engine spiders directions or data
on various information.

governing body on web design, and is an
official W3C
