A few days ago, I got into a discussion on a forum about meta tags and their benefits for search engine optimization. The original poster had asked about which meta tags were the most important for SEO. The overwhelming response was, "Meta tags?! Nobody cares about those anymore -- don't waste your time!" For SEO maybe, but ignoring meta tags altogether could mean that you're missing out on valuable clicks when your site shows up in the SERPs (search engine results pages).
