Re: How important are meta tags in SEO?
<meta> description tags definitely have a use: search engines may use them in the search results page, as the description under the page title.
This can help give a better summary of the page content, so that users are more likely to click the link.
The search engine is not obliged to do this, however; if you write an irrelevant-seeming description, then it could be ignored.
