Different meta tags

[sem4u]

I still use them and to be honest they don't take long to write.

I think Yahoo relies on them more and other SE still use them, why would you bother to make a page and not optimize it to the fullest.

Even Google doesn't use meta descrip or meta keywords. I prefer to get my rankings through off page factors most of the time.

But they can be useful for CTR's if you are willing to take the time to write them. Not for SEO, but for grabbing the consumer's attention.

I'm with sem4u - it takes 2 minutes and you ain't going to get punished for using them either, so at the end of the day, I use them...and the keyword tag too *shock* *horror* !!!

I'm going to create meta tags for www.invisionplasma.com and see how long it takes to do meta tags for every damn page. Pretty sure it'll be a tad more than two minutes.

Now I know that I have seen you preach about how webmasters should be making web pages that convert and not just to get SE listings. But here you are saying you are willing to - not take the time to make tags that can help to increase your CTR's to the page you spend so much time on making perfect in every other way.



I was sure I seen meta tags on v7inc.com, did you not make that site?

[John Scott]

I do meta tags mostly only on the index pages, and sometimes on all pages, but not on 200 or 300 pages websites.

[TanyaMartin]

Only 200 or 300? Only a days work...ok a few days.

You know me, Tanya. I would rather spend that time getting links.

[TanyaMartin]

For some reason I don't think good links is much of a problem for you. But I know everyone can always use more

good point Tanya. There is no point in creating a site that is not optimized. Unless its for your own personal use.

Some of the most profitable sites on the Internet have never been touched by an SEO.

Any chance of getting a discount on one of those TVs?

Side thought: wish my backlinks would update

I got a 42" Samsung a couple months ago, but I'll be getting a Panasonic 42" shortly.

Nice!!!

[John Scott]

It is quite awesome. The best is watching action movies. A good surround sound system helps, too.

Lucky bastard... I gotta get my act together and get my company and sites up and running so I can get me one of those too!
