Meta Tags

Another quick question...

Should I have meta tags on all my pages using different key words, or all the same key words. Or just on my home page?

Thanks

You should use a different <title> <description> and <keyword> tag for each page. :D

Ok thanks mate, do I still need the robot meta tags and all that jazz?

For me, I would only use these (on each page):

<title>Gary Derbridge Photographer</title>
<meta name="Description" content="A wedding photographer based in Southend on Sea, Essex, also covering all types of photography including studio, portrait, band and party" />
<meta name="Keywords" content="" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="verify-v1" content="mjqTrwPC6EDSBsGZC1Yrk9AT/3ADWBYD00MNrbLYdFI=" />
<meta name="Author" content="Gary Derbridge" />
<meta name="Copyright" content="© Gary Derbridge" />

BTW, I think you have too many <keywords>. Use about 10 or so.

I have changed it now, got to reload it onto the server.

You should have your location as the first part of your title tag, that's most important to google. eg {title}Timbucktoo wedding photography George Clooney{/title} (with proper tags not curly ones).

Keyword tag should be filled out if you bother to have it. Description tag is what google shows as your website description. Author and copyright are pointless.

Content is king, in text format. I'm not even sure google looks at most meta tags.
