Declaring The Death of Metatags

Personally, I've resisted using them for years, but convincing clients that they're not worth the effort has always been difficult. Does anyone (except porn sites) actually use them anymore?"

    Okay, that isn't terribly descriptive and it is damning a lot of reasonable expenditures. But it isn't so far off the mark as to be libelous.

    Though I too would love to see the link in question!
