Default Re: How many meta tags do you need for SEO

You are absolutely right, my comments are as follows: -

Title - Required (Company name not necessarily required)
Description - Used as description in Search results, so should be enticing
Keywords - Hardly used, but supposedly yahoo uses for different spellings. Optional.
Classification - No need
Target - No need
Allow-search - No need
Audience - No need
Robots - No need, they will do this anyway unless you tell them otherwise
Revisit-after - I doubt they pay any attention to this
Rating - No need
Distribution - No need

You might want a meta content type tag for language, i.e: -

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

The rest will just decrease your text to code ratio.
