  Just wondering, as its rather hard to be search engine friendly without them..
  Or to use google webmaster tools.

  Or the search bar here in the forums I gather. :)

  No search engine uses meta tags any more as they’re too easy to fake. WordPress.com is set up for blogging, not SEO purposes.

  If it’s something you have got to have, I would suggest grabbing a copy of the wordpress software from http://wordpress.org and finding a host.

  MOST of my referrals come via search engine. Don’t worry. Seriously, don’t worry.

  You’re also not linking to your blog within your account. A link is worth a lot more that any meta tag. You may want to change that here in teh forums by editing your profile. Also on the blog side at Dashboard -> Users -> Your profile.

  Hope this helps,

  Hi

  How do you upload an HTML file on your blog?
  I’m trying to verify my site on Google.
