From what I know this tag has no weighting in Google's Algo, this is purely to help the visitor learn briefly what your page is about, if all your descriptions were same, your visitor would have no way of distinguishing one page from another. Keywords Meta Tag: This too has little to no effect on Google's algo, though, I have heard about a year ago of a study that Yahoo does still put some algo emphasis on this tag. For my US based sites, I will, for Yahoo's sake, just include 1 or 2 primary/secondary keywords for that page only - not the company name 5,000 times and for International sites, I always include the Keywords here, simply because this Meta tag is viewed and has proven to help assist in ranking. Hope that helps! @Keegan – Just to break down each of the tags:
