MetaData is not seen by a visitor to your site.
Not all browsers support all tags and not all search engine robots or crawlers respond to them in the same way.
Different Type of sites or pages within sites require different types of MetaData in order to maximize search engine relevance.
Here are 2 examples of Metadata groups. There are other Meta tags we utilize for specific needs and results.
Each META element specifies a property/value pair that is used for Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
HTTP servers can read the contents of the document head to generate response headers corresponding to any
elements defining a value for the attribute HTTP-EQUIV.
The name attribute identifies the property and the content attribute specifies the property's value.
For more information on Meta Data see: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/
Here is the minimum that should be used in order for information to show up correctly on a search page.
