META TAGS

Meta tags are special tags that speak to search engines (Yahooligans / Ask Jeeves / Google). There are many different types of meta tag. Here are the two most important that you should include into your page:
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="">

This type of meta tag tells the search engine which exact keywords describe what your web page is about. You should aim to have about 25 keywords that you think users will search for. You should never use words as keywords that AREN’T what your page is about.

This is the keyword meta tag for html4kids
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="html, xhtml, CSS, wap, wml, wmlscript, fun, how to, how to create home pages, make a web page, hex codes, rgb color chart, school, homework, project, kids, help for children, JavaScript, scripts, documents, downloads, email, dhtml, design, tutorial, guide, java script, tables, graphics, tags, meta">

<META NAME="description" CONTENT="">
The description meta tag is the text description that search engines show with the link to your web page.
