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.

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.
