There are two meta tags that you should be concerned with. The first is the description meta tag. When a search engine displays the results of a search, typically you will see a clickable word or title for a site. You'll also see a short sentence or paragraph describing the site. This short description may or may not be very meaningful, depending on the site and the search engine.
Some search engines try to create the description from content on the page itself.
Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. For example, let's say you are selling pickled peaches from your site. The second type of meta tag you should use is the keywords meta tag. In addition, Paul should include other keywords such as peaches, fruit, pickled, pickle, Georgia, sweet, vegetables, etc. Your use of creative keywords will help you get visitors to your site.
