Is this true?


Curious to know everyone's opinions on the subject- I myself don't know exactly.

I would say,

The only thing that matters to Google is lots of on content AND back links.

Content is important, as are backlinks and PR - but as you see from here at GidForums, they are just part of the Google secret recipie. My goal is to work on both my 'on page' and 'off page' variables at about equal levels.

So basically, the meta tags do nothing for Google's PR?

Bobby, it may appear to be so right now but who knows what Google might do in the future?

SEO your web pages just for Google is not a very smart thing to do in my opinion. So, even if it may seem like googlebot is completely ignoring meta tags (now), some other bots may have some use for them.

If your website already has them, do NOT remove them; if you're building your web pages tomorrow and you find you have a spare moment or two, it's worth thinking about inserting the description and keywords meta tags at least.

If however, like this forum, you're setting up a script and find that these tags are not easily modified via the script, then don't bother.

I consider meta tags to be part of basic html design...but they aren't worth losing sleep over or abusing.

Pr Refer's according to the quality of Backlinks. And by the way it's always a godd idea to include a metatags and description on our pages because who know's the algo... and i think it will be helpful for smaller search engines out there too ...

My link section consists of 3 pages. The PR of first page is 5, But other pages have only zero. All these pages contain only links of other sites and also links to other pages of this section. How can I arise the PR-level of those pages?

It's hard to say without actually looking at the pages... and please try to start a new thread to discuss something specific to your site.
