What is Meta tag and its type?

A meta tag is a tag (that is, a coding statement) in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) that describes some aspect of the contents of a Web page. There are many meta tags and html-tags and obviously they don't all influence the search result.
 
Meta tags play an important role in your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) initiatives, as they generally instruct search engines how to categorize and index your pages. Until recently, meta tags were considered the magic wand of the web fairy, helping websites to fly forward in indexing by search engines. Today, their weight in the optimization of websites has plummeted. However, they remain a good support tool which must be properly combined with other marketing strategies to increase the number of visitors.
