   | Meta Tags! Ahh this is scary! For a while now i have been working with vgcity.com . We are doing great but not that great  So well i was checking how to improve search engine rankings and while looking at my index.php file i noticed something horrible.... I'm missing the basic meta tags!!! Ahh how stupid am I? I added the keywords and description tags so hopefully it will lead to something good =[ |

| Just want to add, meta tags are pretty useless these days. Most search spiders don't even bother with these anymore (except maybe the description meta tag). I know for a fact that Google ignores the meta tags.
