August 4, 2010 – Often disregarded by site owners seeking to optimize their sites, metatags are overshadowed by good content, proper promotion, and other such marketing and optimization techniques.

Helium.com recently did an article on this all too often mistake titled, “An overview on metatag SEO best practices”. What they perhaps don’t realize is that metatags are a device for easier site indexing in the search engines, as well as another opportunity to give potential customers a preview of their site in the search engine results. This article provides some easy tips on how to get the most out of your metatags, so it is worth the time to read. Just don’t forget the importance of the solid foundation that a comprehensive taxonomy provides.
