Some search engines ignore the meta tags such as description and keywords while others read then. They are not as important as they once were years ago but they certainly still are important to include and get right. By far the most important meta tag is the title keyword. You know the one. Its the one that goes: <code>&#60title&#62Your title here&#60/title&#62</code> So yes, place good titles, descriptions and keywords into you pages. For those who say the are not important.. they have no clue what they are saying. Just remember that SEO does not stop there. Content content content is one of the biggest keys. Hi CJ.

Check out [websitenameremoved].com. Look at how they are designing their client's sites! They are nothing but images. They are creating one huge image in photoshop and then placing it on the website. No text, no tags. Nothing! I can't believe people are paying for this cab you? I do website design for a living and I ran across a web designer the other day. Check out [websitenameremoved].com.

Great blog. I was looking for some info on search engine optimization but these myths you have on hear caught my eye and they are interesting. I wanted to share my story with you. We designed our site last year. We spent about $3000 buying the programs we needed. It took a couple weeks to get the site together but we did get it done and put it online. We were happy until we started to get complaints from clients saying that they could not view the site. It turns out we used some codes we found online and they made the site produce errors. We had a designer contact us and for about $300 they fixed the problems and even improved the design. I wish we had just hired someone to begin with. It would have been cheaper. By the way I have a question. How heavily do search engines rely on keywords and description tags? A lot of people say they are important but some have said I dont even need them. Which is it? Thanks so much! -CJ Hey guys. Great blog. I was looking for some info on search engine optimization but these myths you have on hear caught my eye and they are interesting.

I had my site designed professionally at first but then I decided to host it myself. I gave it to my brother in law to take care of and in a matter of a month the site was in pieces. The host we used was also horrible. Within a few weeks I went back to my old designer and the site has been there ever since. It's been about 5 years now and we have not had a single complaint. Never again will I go back to trying it ourselves. I know exactly what you mean. I had my site designed professionally at first but then I decided to host it myself.

I never understood that search engine optimization was so important until my last web guy rebuilt my site and didn't do anything to it. He didn't even put titles on the pages. Every page said untitled document. All my links on google said untitled document and when I asked him why he balimed google. Needless to say I fired him and did it myself. This aritle was really helpful. Its good information. I will see what else I can do with my site. Great information.

Yes it can be beneficial. If you target keywords that are specific inside your industry you might hit upon some abstracts that people are looking for. This can really help you bring in those extra searches that return little results and if you do it right it can make you the first person that comes up. I would caution you on going too specific within a niche that has has little competition though. If you find that your niche has little competition then you need to aim at improving your placement most of all. If you have a lot of competition then you should aim for both. Target specifics and also go for your primary keywords. One of the things that we take care of is analyzing your site and looking at what needs to be improved and how your competitors are doing.
