Hello again, I'm averaging one question a day here! My bad ?

My question is regarding meta tags.
Here are the empty fields i have:


<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>KTB Home</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<meta name="description" content="" />

My questions are:
Should the title be the same on each page ? (name of site) ?
Do i have to add meta tags to each html page i make ?
If so do i have to make them unique to that page ?
And finally which of the above fields should i complete?
I don't have an include system, just a few pages.

Thanks in advance
Kim x

Yes, all those lines should be on your pages. The first line can just be copied from page to page. The title tag should be unique to the page. It's what shows up in the browser's title bar when the page is loaded. The keywords and description tags are also unique per page, and are useful for SEO.

A Meta Tags Generator can simplify the process.

It is a good idea to have the tags on every page, each page should have a unique title, and important pages should have unique descriptions and customized keywords.

For the most part Meta Tags are ignored by the crawlers - but you should still use them "just in case"

No matter how good your Meta Tags are, it is more important to have keyword-rich compelling content, with specific phrases in your header tags and the first text on the page should be suitable for the description in the search listing.
