The Meta tag in html is not a required tag when you're creating your web pages; many pages don't use the tag at all, and I must confess that I've not used it on my home page, although I put it into this page by way of demonstration. To put it briefly, the meta tag is used by search engines to allow them to more accurately list your site in their indexes.

There has always been confusion on if Google uses the Meta tag data. But using Meta tags (e.g., description and robots information), you help Google to more accurately crawl, index and return your site in search results.

Your title tag is the most important meta data you can have on your page.  It tells Google what your page is about and it's the first thing a user sees before they click on your link in the SERPs.  Make you title tag keyword rich and try to keep it around 69 -72 characters in length.  

Meta Descriptions have no effect on ranking, but it does effect your CTR.  This area allows you to entice the users to click on the link instead of the other listings on that page.   Make it relevant to the page's content and try to keep it around 175 characters in length.  

Meta Keywords use to have a purpose, but not anymore.  So don't even bother. :)

There are various META tags. The most important is the title tag. The description is also used but the keyword META is not used by the major search engines.

Meta tags are important tactics, which helps crawlers to know more about the webpage.

Now day Title is very much popular.  You can use your keywords as a heading of webpage and also put keywords in Meta Description, which helps you to increase keywords ranking.

Absolutely, inbound links - links from another site that gets hit by search bots frequently is the fastest way to get a website indexed.  These links could be from a forum - like SUN.

A vital role is played by Meta tags description and keywords because they are indexed in a particular way. The top search engines don't index keywords that they consider spam nor will they index certain stop words such as a, the, or, or of. This is done to save space and speed up the process. Now they don't index images themselves, but search engines do index image descriptions, Alt text and the text that is left as comments.

I think only meta title and description are useful.There is no use of meta keywords.So try to create some descriptive title and description which tell to SE as what about your page.
