|  Use of meta tag
I have seen following meta tags in one of site, but I don't know what is the use of that <link rel="pingback" href="http://www.abc.com/xmlrpc.php" /> <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://www.abc.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd" /> <link rel="wlwmanifest" type="application/wlwmanifest+xml" href="http://www.abc.com/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml" /> <link rel='index' title='search engine optimization' href='http://www.abc.com' /> |

The pingback line is the URL required to send pingbacks to which basically notifies your site when it sees a link back to your site. The link rel="EditURI" and link rel="wlwmanifest" is for using windows live writer. You can safely remove those if you have no intention of using Windows live writer. The link rel='index' is basically explaining the relationship of the specified URL http://www.abc.com with the document that this appears on. In essence it is saying that abc.com is the index page for the current document. Just leave it as it is, it is just part of the HTML protocol. Quote:

I have never seen anything like this on my sites and never use. I am doing without this and it seems to work for me. Whenever there is new content on my site, I just increase the number of submissions for that page and if that is a blog then submit the article around the web. If you have a regular link building program going on then that should be enough to notify th search engines of any changes that you make on your site.
