Hello,

Can I ask about SEO tags?

I deployed title tag, meta description and some meta keywords on a landing page. Also, other different titles, descriptions, and keywords are on other pages. I have 5 different those seo tags on different pages.

Should I only place them on a landing page?

Thank you!

    You mean meta tags, correct? Meta tags should be present in all your pages- not just your landing page.You also need to make sure that you are putting different meta tags for each page to avoid duplicate content

      Hi,
      Thank you for replying. Yes, that's what I have done. I just wonder if I should remove the title tag and meta tags from other pages because when I search competitors sites which are always in top5, they do only have them on the landing page.

      Thank you

    Titles are obviously very important, the other stuff much less. You can forget about meta keywords entirely, because Google hasn't been using them for a long time. Google will generate a meta description that matches the search if you don't have one, so depending on the content that might not be necessary either. However, I'd probably write a meta description for a landing page.

    What's your excuse?

      i saw some articles here, which is similar to your post. I see that then it does not matter if I have duplicate meta keywords on the other pages. But all meta tags are different on my website.

      I got my domain, say Feb 2013. Other competitor got their domain Oct 2013. The competitor does not have any backlinks and it looks like they have not done any seo work. But the competitor's website always placed in 2 nd page in a few keywords while my website up on 4th page with some SEO work, backlinks, blog, facebook, and twitter.

        If you duplicate something that has no effect, it still has no effect. Forget the meta keywords already. It's just a waste of time.

        You shouldn't have the same meta description on several pages, but as was said several times you can just leave it out.

          I find meta keyword tags very useful while snooping around competition source code.

    For the billionth time, meta tags don't rank pages.

      No, but a good meta description can help you on your CTR

        ...and no meta description will customize the SERP description to the keyword phrase being searched by traffic.

        Instead of a static meta description you could simply have a plain text list on your single web page with however many keywords your trying to rank. Example, 10 keyword phrase variations on a page would return 10 customized SERP descriptions for that single page on your site based on what traffic is searching for, not what you think traffic is searching for (not always the same thing).

          Very interesting take, I have seen some things like that at the buttom of the pages saying something like:
          People arrived here looking for: phrase 1, phrase 2, phrase3, phrase4 and so on and so forth,
          Is that what you are talking about Yukon?

          The way I have used the meta descriptions is more like an ad meaning I want to describe the pain or problem people is looking for more than they keyword they are searching, I control that with the anchor text example:

          I appear for backpain my metadescription would be: You could not sleep today AGAIN for that unberable pain? click here if you need to be ready for your grandchilds

          This is obviously just an exmaple but you get the point.

            I wouldn't do that, it's too obvious.

            The text needs to be on the ranked page & not be spammy.

    Meta title, meta description, meta keyword describe your page detail to Google Crawler, Every page should have there meta detail. If you want to check you duplicate then you use Google webmaster Tool. Meta detail help to improve your Ranking in SERP.

      How about reading the thread? There's no such thing as "meta title", meta keywords are mostly useless, and meta descriptions are not always necessary and you may be better off without in some scenarios.
