Re: basic meta tag question

Make sure you use your alt tags for keywords too- they seem to get a higher
rating than the meta tag keywords. Altavista, in particular, is very picky
about meta tag keywords. Webposition Gold is even suggesting not using meta
tags keywords but using careful weighting of keywords in the text. Altavista
will dump you in a minute if your metatags are not to their liking.
