Why we use Meta Tags in SEO?
as we know from previous posts that the search engines have a robots which visit your webpages, this robots use this Meta Tags to understand your page content if there are Meta Tags with special names so robots can find it in your webpage code.

i mean assume that the search engines said to webmasters to make a Meta Tag with name of DESCRIPTION as a code keyword not understandable by browser but understandable by search engine and its content is your page description so it will be easy to search engine to find this Meta Tag and it can easy know your page description.

thats what happen in the real .. there are some keywords Meta Tags understandable by search engines so if the Meta Tags are very important and related to SEO.
