A lot of people want to know if meta tags still matter.
And they do still matter, but not in the way you might think. Google ignores them when deciding how to rank your site for a keyword.
But there is another way that meta tag description can help you rank higher and get traffic.

Thanks for that video Nick. I have been doing this lately but I wasn’t really sure if it was working for me or not. This is one of those things that I have not gotten around to testing yet.

Good one, Nick! Thanks. I think it takes so little extra time to use meta tags, that it is still very much worth doing, as you show here. One hears so many different views about the various search engine’s use of them, that I am not going to take a chance and leave them out. And, as you say, they can even help in an indirect way we usually are unaware of.

Yes Nick, I do agree that meta description is still important now, even after many Google updates and changes over time, as you say, less directly and more indirectly.

I’ve always been of the opinion that meta tags (including “keyword”) can’t hurt. Who knows, they may come back into vogue with the search engines someday.
I’ve been using an SEO plugin that allows me to use the description and shows me exactly how it would look in Google, even highlighting the keywords that I specified as my main keyword. It really helps to see how the description makes a difference.
The funny thing is that the keyword meta is turned off by default in the plugin. I turned it on and basically add my tags and the main keyword (and maybe a few more) just in case they become useful at some point in the future.
Hello, Nick i have go through your Video and i would like to say that you have posted very nice Video about Meta Description.
Meta description plays very important role in SEO, Its really very very important for us.
In your Video you have mentioned that when we are going to search in Google at that time Google will show only Title and Description. So emphasizing on Description is very important.
And Description gives Over all Idea about the Content of Page or what the page is about so its very Important.

Just saw your Write ups and it title catches my attention. Any Search engine try to find out meta tag of a website.Anyway, this post helps me. thanks! keep it up!
thanks for sharing this. A good couple of points made, particularly re meta-tag descriptions and making people more likely to click. another example of how writing pages for users actually helps with seo and serps.
SEO services do help in bringing more traffic but i would like to tell you one thing first. If you don’t have a useful content nothing will help you. How websites survive long is depend on how many visitors comeback to your site or bookmark your site. That is one thing that will make the difference. Now for SEO this question itself seem to be an advertisement for the particular SEO services.thanks
Hi Nick,
I agree with your point re. meta descriptions. I always used this approach anyway — so it’s good to see it confirmed.
By the way, I just found your site via the WF War Room. You’ve been bookmarked!
