Key words,descriptions and footers ?

[eswiger]

I am very new to the CMS and was wondering if I need to add meta tag keywords, descriptions and footers for each page I create? Does it have any thing to do with placement? Also looking to find out were I can get the forms for my site that the viewers fill out? Is there a spot on the CMS I'm missing to build these? Looking forward to sharing an intelligent with all of you once my site is up live for real and also once I've learned these little things.

Please excuse my lack of website design, Ethan Swiger

Ethan, your keywords tag should be unique if you add one, it should be a phrase or phrases (Comma, seperated) that sum up that page.

The description is what shows below the linked title when someone makes a search engine query so it is good to write compelling descriptions for the page as it will entice searchers to click on them, some engines use both tags for placement.

For now I would leave the footer as a default for now, once you get a little more advanced and start building some link authority we can show you how these can be used for placement.
