The Declining Importance of Meta Keywords, Description Tags, Alt Tags, etc.

Meta description tags are used on web pages, usually at the top of the page, and are hidden from view of everyone except the search engines. They used to hold quite a bit of weight in the search engine ranking process of websites, but are not used as much anymore. This is because people would pack as many keywords as they felt necessary into this hidden code on the webpage, and soon the ranking system used by the search engines was no longer as valid as it had been in the past.
