Use Meta Tags Successfully

To be really effective, Meta Tags should always be located in the area of an HTML document. That area is completely at the top of all pages. It starts just after the tag and ends immediately before the tag.

Additionally, you should always make certain that your meta tags don't have any line breaks. Doing that would trip the search engines as they will probably see bad HTML code and could ignore them completely. Also, try not to use any capital letters in your code, as well as any repetition of words, phrases or terms within the keywords tag. Don't make the mistake many webmasters are still doing by "stuffing" meta tags, as it could penalize or ban your website.
