This tool will analyze a website's
meta tags. Although the use of meta data is certainly in question,
analyzing a competitors “keyword” and “description”
meta values is a good way to find ideas for key terms and
effective copy for your website
Meta Types:
Keywords:
This should contain a short list of keywords and terms related
to your site. Generally they should be separated by a comma,
but some people prefer not to use any sort of delimiter.
Description:
This should be a brief description of your site and what it
offers. This is sometimes used by search engines as a website’s
“snippet” for search results.
About Meta Tags At one point
meta tags were considered a relatively important factor by
search engines. AltaVista and other older search engines used
them to help determine a site’s theme as well as relevance
to a given term. This is no longer the case; search engines
now rely on much more advanced techniques to do this. That
said, meta tags still have some life left in them; they are
sometimes used as the snippet of a site's content in search
engine result pages by Google, and possibly other search engines.
It's also possible they still have a little influence with
some search engines in determining a site’s content.
