Avoid search engine stop words

Tags:

When you are putting keywords into your keyword meta tag there are some words you need to avoid, they're called stop words. Some common stop words are: and, the, that, this, there and because. When search engine spiders see these words they are programmed to ignore them so by putting them in there you are just wasting your time.
