Are Meta Tags Useful Anymore?

Are you wasting your time adding meta tags to your web pages?  Do search engines care? Matt Cutts of Google says don’t waist even a minute on your meta keyword tags. 


See the video below of Matt Cutts answering a question from a webmaster of Meta Keywords tags. So in other words the meta keywords tag is just a waste of time.

Meta description tags May be useful though. The description may be used in the organic search engine results if it’s relevant to the content of the page. If it’s not relevant it won’t be used.

So spending a little time adding a good description to your meta description tag can pay off if it’s used in the search results.  And if it’s a great description it may help with getting more targeted visitors into your site.
