What is a Meta Tag?

[lizatailor23]

Hi,

 

A meta tag is a line of HTML coding that contains metadata about a webpage. Meta tag information doesn't change how the page looks; it wont be seen by the website viewer, unless they are viewing your source code. There are two common types of meta tags meta description tags and meta keywords tags.

 

Meta description tags describe, in some way, the webpage. For instance for this wiseGEEK article page, we might use everything you want to know about meta tags. The meta keywords tag lists other words that a visitor might be searching for, like meta tags, meta tag, HTML and meta tags, tags, SEO.
