There is one more glorious thing that meta tags can do. Some search engines (not Google, sadly) will actually "crawl" through webpages searching for key words. By increasing the number of keywords on your page, you could increase the number of "hits" you page got. More traffic for businesses means more money, so people began to seek for ways to increase the odds of their pages having the right keywords that people searched for. This is where this meta tag comes into play.
There is a command that will increase the number of keywords on your page. You just have to tell the computer what those keywords are. Suppose you have made a page about ravens and would like to include all of the keywords you can think of regarding ravens. Your meta tag would look like this:
- <META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="raven ravens Corvus corax black bird unkindness crow Edgar Allen Poe">
When you use this meta tag, think of all the key words that someone may type in when searching for your page. Think of plurals, tenses, and anything else you want to dig up. List them all in the keywords, and the number of hits you receive will increase.
