Tez, I\'d agree and disagree with Alan on a couple of points:
3. this is where I disagree...keywords in your meta tags have no bearing on anything. In fact, you\'re wasting time by putting them in. That\'s old school, search engines no longer pay attention to meta keywords (read up on Search Engine Optimization for more info).

You\'re quite right John about the keyword meta tags. It just doesn\'t make a difference as the major search engines ignore them. In the past, it could get you into trouble,
However, the title meta tag is very important. Your title should contain keywords relevant to (and repeated in the content) of any particular page of your site. The description tag is important, not so much for keywords, but because Google sometimes uses this text for the snippet in the search engine results page. To see what happens when you *ahem* overlook this, search for \"orlando commercial photography\" and you will see a link to my website (umbris.com) with a meaningless snippet.
