Actual for You - Meta Tags - What Are They and Which Search Engines Use Them?
The speed and low-cost communication of the Internet are attracting more and more consumer surveys to be made online. To assure a large-enough database of prospective survey participants the companies making the surveys are paying cash to those who take their surveys.Sometimes payment is in points that can be redeemed for cash; sometimes there are other benefits. The bottom line is that the participant receives value as compensation for taking the survey.To participate you must be a consumer, 18 years or more of age, have access to the Internet and be able to use a computer. Most of us buy food, clothing and other things. That qualifies us as consumers.While most survey makers have the 18 years old rule, there are special surveys for kids, usually requiring parenta

Meta Tags are lines of HTML code embedded into web pages that are used by search engines to store information about your site. These "tags" contain keywords, descriptions, copyright information, site titles and more. They are among the numerous things that the search engines look for, when trying to evaluate a web site.
Meta Tags are not "required" when you're creating web pages. Unfortunately, many web site operators who don’t use them are left wondering why the saying "If I build it they will come" didn’t apply to their site.
There’s also a few naysayers in the search engine optimization industry who claim that Meta Tags are useless. You can believe them if you like, but you would be wise not to. While not technically "required", Meta Tags are essential.
If you simply create a web site and register the URL with the search engines, their spiders will visit your site, and attempt to index it. Each search engine operates slightly differently, and each one weighs different elements of a web site according to their own proprietary algorithms. For example, Altavista places an emphasis on the description tag and Inktomi states on their web site that;

Determining your target market is a must! You must define who will come to your event and who will purchase your products. Your target market will make it easier to determine a theme, which is also very important, and help when deciding on speakers, location, etc… Who is your audience? What interest and/or problems do they have? You want to bring products and speakers that will help your audience. If you don’t, you will not have a successful event. And you will also have people very upset with you! Some areas to think about when determining your target audience follow: 1. Industry/Niche What industry are they in? What niche do they fill?

They also use the keywords tag.
Of course, not all search engines work this way. Some place their emphasis on content. The search engines have over 100 individual factors they look at when reviewing a web site. Some of these factors deal with page structure. They check to see that all the 't's are crossed, and the 'i's dotted. They note sites that have omitted basic steps, like missing tags.
One reason so many engines de-emphasized the meta-keyword tag had to do with spam. There was a time when 'search engine promotion specialists' would cram keywords tags full of irrelevant information. The web site would be selling garbage cans, but the keywords tags were chock full of irrelevant terms like "mp3" or "Britney Spears". They figured that if enough people visited their site, some would buy.
So today, to avoid and penalize this kind of abuse, some search engines don’t specifically use the keywords tag as part of the scoring of a site, but they monitor the keywords to ensure they match the content in the site. The reasoning being that, if the tags are irrelevant, they must have an alternate purpose. Is it a spam site? When keywords tags are completely irrelevant to the content, some search engines, that don’t specifically use keywords tags, will penalize that web site.
Even for those engines that have downplayed the value of Meta Tags, there are situations where Meta Tags gain considerably in importance, e.g. s
