We wanted to keep this article very much for beginners so had to leave out a lot so it's not confusing. However, keeping PPC campaigns local if that's your target audience is important, for sure. Brian, there is a lot of information out there about meta tags - one thing appears "clear" that they are less important than they used to be. It seems you need to have them but don't put much weight on them. Chuck, my mistake though apparently there is a lot of confusion out there about this. Joy, clearly, it's not clear. lol. So, to clafify: "According to Wikipedia, "a web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web." But search engines are the applications that help you find web pages and they're so important that they became synonymous with web browsers. It's an involuntary synecdoche, a figure of speech in which a part of an object is used to refer to the entire object." http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/06/browser-is-search-engine.html Jason, Good points.

It does use google as its search engine. Chuck Karen,

I am trying to get on page one with specific keywords on google. I own a window cleaning business. Is it true that Google no longer pays attention to Meta Tags?

I would add that it is important to create custom meta tags, titles, and content (of course) for each separate web page. Also, when creating a PPC campaign, carefully consider the region you plan to advertise in; You may not want to advertise across the entire U.S. if you are offering a local product or service.
