The tricky thing about SEO is that ranking well isn't about "one big thing" you can do - there is no magic SEO pill that will make your site rank on the first page of Google. It's the combination of multiple little things that all add up, and I think that's a place where people get confused a lot of the time. They are looking for the "magic SEO pill" when SEO is really about diet and exercise (for your site). Thanks for commenting! Caroline Thanks Aaron,

I posted recently about the meta-tag element of a web page as the common misconception is that meta tags alone are the key to rankings. While they are a small factor, it is in any websites best interest to create accurate meta tags of 4 to 6 keywords/terms and complete their meta description. Stuffing is what led to meta tags being thrown out of search algorithms for a while, but responsible websites using truthful meta data will see benefits. Good tips.
