Keep in mind that many search engines ignore anything past the first 25 or so keywords.

Take a look at http://www.rsac.org/ and you'll see what that <META> tag is for...

Can u just tell me.. I can't find anything on that website

That META tag contains content label that describes content that's on your web site (i.e. adult, business, etc.), which is then used by web browser to decide whether to show your web site or not (i.e. parental control). You can find much more information if you follow the link that I posted above...

marf: mr.maX speaks the truth. There are a number of systems whereby you can rate the content of your own site and then they will generate a metatag for you to put on your page. It is a good idea to do this as it is possible (I believe) to exclude sites with adult or violent ratings or unrated sites.

And you can get PICS labels from multiple sites as well. It's a good thing to do if you have questionable content, or want to target specific areas.

marf, is that a search engine asking you that?

The two most important <META> tags are those for keywords and description...
