Check your meta tags and ensure they are OK

I bet you wouldn’t disagree with me if I said that meta tags (keywords and descriptions) are one SEO factor that got popular for spamming. Haven’t you seen that page with half part of the code filled with meta keywords? Damn! That was bad.

Now, even though Google does not give much importance (as it used to earlier) to meta info, it’s a good idea to keep it as relevant to your content as possible.

But how do you know if your meta tags are “white hat” and it’s all looking good in Google’s eyes?

Hmm, well ask a friend of yours (may be your folks) to read the content and then your meta keywords. If they say “hey…are you sure you had that content on the page related to those keywords”, you know you are not doing the right thing.

Even better, there is a ncice little program that will help you do this check pretty much automated. It’s called Meta tag SEO 1.0

Give in all your URL’s it checks the content, and the meta tags and try to find some sort of correlation between it. If it finds that the meta tags ratio is alarming, it would let you know.

Of course, checking it manually is the best thing to do, but if you have a handy program that helps you with it, why not try it?

Head over here, check out the screenshots and download this guy. See if he works for you.

    I did not place the meta tags directly below . But they are still within the head tag. When I checked with one the SEO tools as featured here recetly,it says my meta tags are missing.
