I cut and paste this from a page this company showed me. They wanted me to spend $2500 and they'd build a custom domain to direct people to our site. I told them, I'd think about it as I knew I could build it myself. I was curious to see what type of meta tags they were using to get 1st place hits for [snip] which there is 1M's of sites to compete with.

My question is what are all of these meta tags? They don't look normal to me? I just saved the page as a text file and cut and paste it here.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<META content="" name="keywords">
<META content="" name="description">
<META content="index,follow" name="robots">
<META content="" name="city">
<META content="" name="state">
<META content="" name="distribution">
<META content="" name="language">
<LINK href="file.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

It’s really interesting. I consulted a technical expert guy and probably it seems to call Meta values by .css file.

It look as if the moderator took the text out of the "" since they probably thought it was my site. It wasn't. Ours is a Children's Boutique and nothing to do with [snip]. Anyway, it was strange how they did it and this page get's first page views. Just type in [snip] and you can see what I mean.

The page itself is ugly and I would never build it like this, but it does work as they showed me dozens of examples.

it could be that the css is loaded with keywords, so everytime a page references the css, the spiders pick up those keywords.
