What is the latest thoughts in the SEO world on meta tags? It seems there are a lot of varying opinions on just how much they actually influence Google rankings.

why you complicated things, why don't you just add the meta tags from the HTML or
if you want to use PHP, you can simple echo the strings variable... Does it simplify
things?

Agree. I just use a plugin for my meta tags, no sweat.

•<META HTTP-EQUIV="varname" content="data"
◦This binds the varname to an HTTP header field. An http server might use this to process a document. This one's a tad more tricky.If you included the following example:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="keywords" content="car,cars"
then, as part of a GET command the server would include the word car and cars in the HTTP response header.
•<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0; url=homepage.htm"
◦This can be used in the HEAD section of the index.html file to redirect it to homepage.htm. The figure after content is the time in seconds that the browser waits before moving on.

Very interesting, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about Meta Tags to educate myself in this area.

php and html are quite different as to how they constructed on web pages as php are more complex such as making meta tags.

I am also new to the zend framework. I have a lot of questions about Meta Tags and SEO for web pages. Found a lot of answers here. We are a very small company and have to do all the work ourselves. Thanks for all your input and help.

I always hear meta tags are important for seo of a website. Are meta tags just descriptors or something more for google to spider as identifying parameters?

Hi, AFAIUI, Meta Tags are a lot less important than the title and keywords of a web page. Reason being, webmasters were simply stuffing the meta description with a load of keywords.
