The Meta tags module allows you to automatically provide structured metadata about your website. In the context of search engine optimization, when people refer to meta tags, they are usually referring to the meta description tag and the meta keywords tag that may help improve the rankings and display of your site in search engine results.
Meta tags have additional uses like the Open Graph Protocol used by Facebook, specifying the canonical location of content across multiple URLs or domains.
This project is the designated Drupal 7 successor and rewrite from-the-ground-up of the Nodewords module that will emphasize test-driven development and basic but stable features. There is not currently an upgrade path between Nodewords for D6 and Meta tags for D7, but there will be.
