    Meta tags have nothing to do with SEO, even a "Meta Description" tag is optional.

    They do help a small amount. Meta tag, a while ago, were the main reason you ranked highly. Nodays, they don't do much.

    Having an entice meta description WILL help with traffic to the site. If your CTR increases because of your meta description you will be better off in the SERPS, so indirectly they still help.

    Let me provide you the information in details.....
    Meta Tags are nothing but the main Identity of your website.
    Meta Tags mainly include the following properties:
    1. Title.
    2. Description.
    3. Keywords.

    Title helps the Search engine to understand what the website i all about. It is one of the most important factor for ranking your website with your desired keywords.
    Description is nothing but a small Intro that a visitor can see when listed in search engine.
    It is very important that you tell what you exactly offer to the customers.
    Keyword Tag is not important these days since Search Engine Spider do not speak about it.
    If you need any further query feel free to ask

    OK, this question seems to have brought out all the spambots, so safely ignore them.

    The only meta tag that has any relevance to SEO is the meta description. This should be thought of as your "call to action".

    It's important to note that Google may ignore your meta description if it determines your article body is more important/relevant.

    You can also use meta to set canonical links too, to avoid duplicate content.
