      In SEO Meta tags still play an important role. The use of Meta description is very important. This tag is shown by search engines as a small text in the search results. It should be sure that your Meta tags on your website are unique for each and every page and try to make them as attractive as possible. A special Html tag that provides information about a web page. Unlike normal Html, Meta tags do not affect the how the page is displayed. Instead, they provide information such as who created the page, how often it is updated, what the page is about, and which keywords represent the page’s content. Many search engines use this information when building their indices

          Meta data are basically tags that are included within the <head> section of a HTML doc. In the past they were used by google to determine what a web page was about; in particular internet marketers would include their look for phrases in the keyword and key phrase meta tag of a web page in order to position for their specific look for phrases in the google.
