Hello Group!
Meta Tags.
As we know, it's been "recommended" that the Meta Tag not be used anymore on our websites....
I do understand why.
Meta Tag keyword stuffing was highly abused and it used to be where the seo competition and the ranking battle was fought.
Times have changed.
I do understand why discontinuing the use of Meta Tag was a "suggestion" was brought out.
Google wants rich content, quality informative web pages for the customers and society... It think that is a good thing.
My question is: has anyone ran a recent experiment on Meta Tags?
I did a bunch of web searches for the subject, pulled up a lot of information and read what a Google exec said on the subject.
After all that reading, I sat back and pondered on all the older websites that still use a meta Tag.
Would they be penalized?
I can't see the sites being de-indexed.
The big question?
Is it going to hurt you to throw just a few Meta Tags, don't stuff them, just a few relevant Tags on a website?
Reading over the statement from Google, it said the tags would not be used but it also didn't say it was turning into a penalty.
It was a suggestion.
I'm curious if the group has any insight on if Meta Tags are harmful or just not worth the time to do it if it's not earning any juice.
Thanks.
