Understanding Metatags: Definition, metatag analysis of a webpage of choice and description of each metatag (Blog#09)

 Metatags:

Definition:

Metatags are snippets of text that describes a page's content; metatags do not appear on the page itself, but only in the page's source code. Metatags are essentially little content descriptors that tell search engine what the webpage is about. 

The only difference between tags you can see (on a blog spot, say) and tags you can not see is location: metatags only exist in HTML, usually at the "head" of the page, so are only visible to the search engines (and people who know where to look). The "meta" stands for metadata which is kind of data these tags provide - data about the data on your page.
