Part of search engine optimization is getting people to click on your website listing once it's made it to the front of the pack.

Packing keywords into your meta tags just isn't enough anymore. You must be able to communicate what your company does and why a searcher should check out your website.

Titles and meta tags should use keywords, explain benefits your company offers, and contain a call to action.

I'm not going to tell you exactly how to structure your tags, but you should keep these key topics in mind when writing your meta tags and title.

I have a question.....

Does changing your meta tags every once in a while, help search engine traffic?  I would think you could get more bang for the buck by switching terms every once in a while.

I keep them consistent, unless the page that's being tagged has changed for any reason, in which case I retag.

In my limited experience meta-tagging, I find that it's sometimes worth the effort to re-tag. When you first put content out, even you can't see all the relevence that could be wrung from it...it often requires a few days of space, simply for perspective.

I have a feeling that if one re-evaluates their tags on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, those little tweeks will catch some terms, and therefore surfers, that might be missed otherwise.

How many meta tags do you think are appropriate for a single page?  I tend to use a lot (around 10 or 15).

I have seen some SEO software that suggest 100 or more terms.  I usually start with about 15 to 30, and add as I change the page or add content.
