meta tags in free sites
 

do you guys use 'em?

i'm not quite aware if it's okay since i've been submitting galleries before and a lot of TGP owners don't allow meta tags. not quite sure with the link list owners...

I put meta tags in mine and don't seem to have a problem.

Meta tags are encouraged in freesites as long as they aren't stuffed with a load of spammy keywords.
Relevant is the key word here, I think.
:)

I always use them |thumb They help you by search engine rankings ;)

I use them and I would advise you to use them too :)
They help in the long run

Nobody knows for sure how relevant meta tags are for SEO. They certainly can't hurt though. I have never had a problem getting a FS listed and I use meta tags on mine.

Meta title/description/index tags are very relevant. I almost always use those tags on nearly every page. Meta keywords tags I sometimes ignore. :D
