  • From what I’ve read so far regarding Google, meta tags such as the following are no longer needed.

    <body><meta name=”keywords” content=”debt, home loan help, real estate, financial, consolidate, mortgage, pay off, refinance, bad credit, loans, credit” />
    <meta name=”description” content=”Do I still need to use meta tags?” />

    I have noticed however that there are lots of plug-ins available to sort and arrange categories and tags as well as many built in options.

    Do the categories and tags help one get a better search engine ranking or are they simply to help surfers navigate a complex site?

    I originally had lots of categories displayed on my static page and posts but removed them all.

    An explanation or a link that help me get a better understanding of this area would be much appreciated.

    thanks,

    Mike
