Hi all,

As I hadn’t been very active in my blog-hopping activites recently I decided to spend a night visiting my fellow students blogs and some outside blogs as well just to try to catch up with as many people as I could.

Firstly, some of the information, hints and tips that I picked up were excellent. And I mean that sincerely, excellent.

There was the social bookmarking advice from Karen Kalata, Paul Wilson‘s tip on the MyBlogLog plugin, Marcus Passey‘s great post on how much your site is worth and Edward Rubi’s terrific twitter tips. To name but a few.

Apologies to those I left out.

However it was when I went outside the students blogs and visited the site of Matt Cutts that I found a great piece of information. Now Matt is some head bod in the labs at Google. Haven’t found his job title yet.

But in Matt’s most recent post he talks about how Google does not use the keywords meta tag in their web search. At all. Ever.

I found this extremely fascinating as it is often mentioned in SEO teachings around the internet. And he goes on to say that they are far more likely to use the description meta tag  for searches.

Anyway, here’s the video he has posted. Hope you find it as relevant as I have.
