Before a year or so, I stoped using meta tags to my sites, but it seems they still have some importance in SEO.

Right now I am using only description and in some cases keywords meta tags.

What do you use? Does anyone here made any experiment regarding meta tags?

I use always this kind of header:

(note the language information)

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>PHP script resource, php classes and code for web developer</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="keywords" content="domain name check, whois, web developer, php classes, php scripts, MySQL, script releases, php resource, search engine source, webmaster tools, php news" />
<meta name="description" content="This PHP resource site is the place for open source projects like easy to use PHP classes, webmaster tools, web development resource links and PHP related news." />
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
<meta name="author" content="Olaf Lederer" />
<meta name="content-Language" content="en" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Dutch PHP Resource" href="http://www.finalwebsites.com/rss_sitemap_en.php" />

Keywords, description, author, copyright (used to specify license not user as some people use it for)

language only in non XHTML (its already declared)

Avoid using robot, as most engines ignore this anyway, use robot.txt where possible

Meta tags were huge part of SEO in last few years but now major SE don't pay attention, however it is a good suggestion to have them because it helps the SE robots for instructions. The company, SEO specialist, who do seo for me also advice me to have them for better results. You can find a good free meta tags generator here Visit through proxy.

edit:seo companies are capable of advertising their services Wink
