How important is: <META name="classification" content="">

[SanDiego]

What do you think the advantages and lack of are for this code in meta tags?
<META name="classification" content="Real Estate">
Do the big three really care what that says?

<title>
Meta name="description"

are really the only 2 you need, I dont think that tag is looked at, at all. I sometimes put the kw tag in there, but only because it used to work so I formed a habit, but it doesnt do squat now.

Meta tags for the most part are a waste of space, save the kb for something more important, like content
Keep it clean, keep it simple - that is the golden rule (oh wait maybe its keep it clean and send morgan money

so what about <META name="ROBOTS" content="index,follow"> can we take that out too?

I have this site called I cal mort that was designed and has a lot of Meta tags in it... and i just want to get some opinions on what can be cleaned up and what can't....

Ps, mortgage must be due, huh.... ?

[webmaster]

I dont have a mortgage

And why would Icalmort have an index,follow tag - I thought you went with a pro on that one.

Btw I hate the font underneath the Tabs, we really need to change that, please have Kim set it to something else, it looks cruddy

.style6 {font-size: 18px}
.style12 {font-size: 18px; color: #003399; font-family: Arial Narrow}
.style13 {color: #006666}
.style14 {

Are you using DW when editing these pages, if so - are you editing fonts etc if so DW inputs them as inline CSS so make sure you cut them out of hte header and put them in an external CSS file.
