This is a both a very under and overused area for a lot of sites out there. Currently as of this writing, some engines use META tags, some do not. Either way its a good idea to have them in place. There are several different types of META tags out there, keywords and description are the 2 most important. The 'keywords' tag allows you to place certain keywords related to your site so when those searching for a certain subject under a search engine, and if they type in a keyword that you have listed, your site will come up. Now depending on many different factors, your site will be listed anywhere between 1 and thousands of relevant matches. Some of these factors include the number of times that keyword appears in your document, link popularity, if that keyword appears in your page title, and many more. The description tag allows you to briefly describe the document, so that when search engines return your page as a match, viewers will be allowed to read about your document before actually visiting your site.
