Meta Tags for Google

Hi Everyone

Had a conversation with John and came to this great forum.

I hope everyone is in high spirits. I've just launched the new version of my site http://www.juniors.net. I'm making Meta Tags for the ppages in my site. I wanted to know the Perfect way to write these Meta Tags, from Google's perspective.

Please also tell that how should I write if I target any specified key phrase. When I started writing I felt that same words are popping in again and again. Now can u tell me a dynamic way to get access to more educational related keywords, searched on the web.

John I look forward to your reply.

Thanks
Vani

From my understanding, Google places little to no weight on Meta Tags...just what I've heard

I would agree with the little, but i don't know about no weight.

If I remember correctly from some studies done by other users on the forum (greg or someone). The only time Google used the meta tags was when there was no content on the page itself. Personally I think meta tags are still something that should be added to every page. There are still other search engines (albeit fewer and fewer) that use the meta tags.

I always try to repeat my main keywork twice in the title like this:

Title> Keyword - Available Keyword Market <Title

Then with the description I take a two sentence snippet from the main content which contains the keyword....

Usually thats what Google takes for a description anyway...

Keyword tag - I don't stuff it - just a few keywords...

Meta description is recorded and shown in search results – especially if there is no readable paragraphs on the page. As for ranking no body really knows because any boost maybe too tiny to record.

Thats strange, you would think they would use it to consider what you specify as your keywords. If they do not pay attention to the Meta Tags, are they deciding on your keywords for you?

They use the words in the title element of the page and the keywords which appear in the body copy itself and, most importantly, the words used in the anchor text of links to your page.
