Meta tags are all but dead except for Inktomi with one exception. Which is the Title Tag. The title tag is still used by alot or crawlers including google. Most likely all are still looking at the title tag.

The title tag is VERY important. That should be a brief description of your store. The title tag is would serve more purpose per item then store.

Since I sell incense my title tag is:
Incense Sticks and Incense Cones and other Aromatherapy Products

Meta Description Tag is just a longer version of the title tag as most browsers only support 60 characters in the Title Tag

Meta Keywords Tag is just that keywords seperated by either a comma or - (dash) I was taught to use - That debate rages on but since only search engine is bothering to look at that tag it is really not that important. I believe if you search the - is the more popular choice as it is with domain names. Hence I have www.incense-stick.com Also they can be 2 - 4 word phrase seperated the same way, anything more than four gets to be a tad long. An examle would be: sterling silver jewelery - gold jewelery - hand crafted rings etc etc

If you have any further guestions ask or google with give you a ton of resources by searching "meta tag"

Hello everyone,
Thank you bigandtall for the meta tag links for information.
I spent just about all day yesterday working on them.
I have them at 100% 96% and 95 % I hope that this is acceptable.
sorry for the delay in getting back to ya'll.
I have to remember to come in through internet explorer. It won't work for me with aol. keeps making me sign in again.
Oh I re worded my home page and title tags I hope they are okay too.
have a nice evening
christine

I wish mine looked so good! lol.

Keep in mind that with ever item you add - those % will change - depending on the words used in the description.
Anything 85% or better is work well done!
