"Search engine submission" refers
to the act of getting your web site listed with search engines.
Another term for this is search engine registration.
Getting listed does not mean that you will necessarily rank well
for particular terms, however. It simply means that the search
engine knows your pages exist.
Meta Tags help search engines to
index your site better so people can find you. If you don't have
meta tags in your Web pages then a lot of
search
engines will not even see your Web site and no one will
come. They are one of the most essential parts of your Web page,
if you want people to come to it.
Let's say your Web page is about
sewing. Your Meta Tags may look something like this:
<head>
<title>Sewing For Life</title>
<meta name="description" content="Sewing: Relief for the
stressed out person.">
<meta name="keywords"
content="Sew, Sewing, Stressed">
</head>
Of course you may want to use
more keywords than just 3 but you get the idea. Notice that I
put the "head" tag around them. That's because Meta Tags have to
be inside the "head" tags or they won't work.
