SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
What is SEO?
SEO is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Typically, the earlier a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and HTML coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines.
SEO techniques can be classified into two broad categories: techniques that search engines recommend as part of good design, and those techniques of which search engines do not approve. The search engines attempt to minimize the effect of the latter, among them spamdexing. Some industry commentators have classified these methods, and the practitioners who employ them, as either white hat SEO, or black hat SEO. White hats tend to produce results that last a long time, whereas black hats anticipate that their sites may eventually be banned either temporarily or permanently once the search engines discover what they are doing.

SEO Tips for Meta Description Tags
The meta description tage for a web page is found in the header part of each web page, and can be located in the html source code as starting with <meta name=”description”.
The use of these SEO meta tags has dwindled over recent years (due to spammers) as search engines are choosing to read the page content as a preference for pulling page related results, however they still have a visual use for pulling in visitors when you have a page that is text free, say loaded with images or video.
How can it do this? Well the tag itself is displayed under the blue hyper linked title of the page in the SERP's, and if well written it can enocurage the searcher to click on your link.
