The End of Meta Tags As We Know It?

In the past, meta tags have been the most basic way to optimize your site. But as the algorithms of most search engines become more and more complex, meta tags serve little to no purpose in SEO. The only benefit of meta tags is for SERP (search engine result pages) output.

As it stands now, meta tags are virtually obsolete when it comes to page ranking. But they're still useful for keeping your keywords organized and relevant in relation to the various pages on your site.
