(Magnus Manske magnus.manske@web.de): I noticed that we lost (?) the META tags from Phase II. As a reminder, we had the titles of all the links in an article as META keywords, and the first paragraph (roughly;-) as META content.
Should we set this up again (more precise in Google hits)?
"META" tags are all but useless, and only useful at all if they are carefully created by human evaluation and judgment. Any attempt to create automatic ones is not likely to produce any meaningful result.
That's not true ! Lot of search engines rely on meta tags. The only search engine we get lot of traffic from is Google (which ignores META tags). The rest are almost ignoring us and this is one of reasons.
