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.
