What Google Ignores
Google ignores the following elements on your web pages. Due to their abuse and misuse, META tags are a thing of the past with Google!
•Information in the <META name= “Keywords”> tag
•Information in the <META name = “Description”> tag
Note: Google has been known to display information from the META “Description” tag in their search listings if it cannot find a description for your page in the OPD (DMOZ) directory. Because of this, and because other search engines do read it, you should use this tag and have a decentsounding description that includes your keywords. Make sure each description is unique per page.
•Information within the <!—Comments --> tag
•Information within the <STYLE>
•Information within <SCRIPT> tags (JavaScript and other client-side code)
•Duplicate links to the same page (only counts once)
•Links that point to the same page they are on
•Any graphics or multimedia (menu buttons, photos, animations, Flash)
