Hi
Can I put my meta keyword and description tags at the bottom of the page rather than the top. Something like this:

Wondering why I ask, I am creating a dynamic JSP page, and dynamically creating my keywords for the meta tag as I build the page. The problem is I am now at the bottom of the page not the top of the page.

The big question is, will search engines still acknowledge them?

HTML specifications only allow for META tags inside of the HEAD tags.

Hello and welcome to Webmaster world.

The full spec can be found here w3c [w3.org].

The duplication of elements should be easy for a spider to flag as a problem. Why do you want to go this route?

If you want a definitive answer on what is and is not proper HTML code use W3C's validator: [validator.w3.org...]
