Meta tags are HTML codes that are inserted into the header on a web page, after the title tag. In the context of search engine optimization, when people refer to meta tags, they are usually referring to the meta description tag and the meta keywords tag.

Ignore meta keywords. Do not use meta keywords on any pages. Whenever spammers scrape content from a site, they scrape the meta keywords as well which is why bing now blacklists pages with meta keywords and google drops them in serps.
