Meta tags are used to give detailed instructions, in regard to a web page, to the Search Engines and browsers.

You can provide the Search Engines with a description of your web page and the most relevant "keywords" for your web site by adding the following META tags between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags of your HTML.

When selecting your keywords, it is best to list them within a phrase. Try to concentrate on only a few keyword phrases throughout your text.
