The description for this add-on is incorrect. Most of those added tags do nothing but add bulk to your page. They are most certainly NOT going to improve SEO.

Hardly. Most are totally ignored by search engines.

When does your board/domain expire.(Use this format: Tue, 01 Jun 1999 19:58:02 GMT)Do not use 0 because the engine will think it already expired!

This is an incorrect interpretation of the tag.

The optimal settings from an SEO standpoint would be "uninstalled".

No. Not at all.

If you think

[djbaxter]

No, seriously. If you want to insert all these meta tags, it's fine with me. Just don't think it's going to do a darn thing for SEO.

To understand SEO you need to understand that Google does not equal SEO

To understand SEO, you need to understand that NONE of the search engines pay any attention to the meta tags added by your mod.
