Thanks for share your knowledge and also I agree because Meta tags are great ways to increase your click through rate. They should be informative, natural, and contain relevant tags–all of this in a balance to benefit both search engines and users. If you focus too much on Meta tags, you can alienate users. If you don’t focus enough, you can disappear in the SERPs. I think that well-written tags really make a difference.
