Meta commands don't add anything visually to your page, but they help a great deal when you submit your pages to search engines.

HTML Getting Started Meta Commands Tutorial
Meta what? Unless you are loopy into this HTML stuff like I am, you probably haven't heard about meta commands. I would guess the reason is that the commands don't put anything on your page. There's no visual associated with them, but they can be quite helpful to the search engines that look over your page and tell others about it.

Search Engine... What's That? A search engine is a program that takes key words from you, searches a database of Web pages, and gives you back a list of pages that might be helpful. Yahoo is a search engine, as is Webcrawler . If you'd like to see a list and a half of search engines and learn how to use them straight from your own page -- see my tutorial So, You Want A Searchable Database, Huh? .

When you submit your page to a search engine, or " register " the page as Net-heads like to say, you are asking the people who keep the page to place your page's text into a huge database. Yahoo's database was well over 3 million pages, last I heard.

When you use the search engine, you enter "keywords." Let's say you were interested in deep-sea fishing. You'd enter those words.The database would be searched and would return any pages containing those words. When you register a page, some search engines ask you to enter a few keywords. What you are allowed to offer is limited. Wouldn't it be nice if you could send the search engine a page that has all the keywords written out in the HTML text? This way you could make the search engine's job a lot easier and get your page brought up onto the screen a lot more often.
