    Meta tags are snippets of code on a web page. They offer information about a page (metadata). All meta tags but the "title" tag are invisible as a site visitor looks at your website, but meta tags can be exposed to searchers.

    Good Reading:

    Hope this clears thing up a little.

    I read some ot that but what does this mean ? Note: A meta tag must contain keywords and description or it is not considered complete, and will be ignored

    I thought you just had to click on the meta tag icon & add keywords ?

    Notice, that you have a field for Meta Tag Key Words, AND Meta Tag Description.

    It means that if you put irrelevant information (to your product) in those fields, the bots and spiders will just ignore it as being relevant and dismiss it. (Best explaination I can give. Maybe haredo can explain it better. He's pretty good in this field.)

    Pretty much, but you want to keep it short in the description.
