If I stole a car, I wouldn’t need to save up for the big purchase.

If I designed websites – rather than only market them – I could just steal Meta tags from one website and use them on another website.

I’d save time, effort and help the cash flow. In other words, I could charge one company for my work and then get another business to pay for the same work.

Of course, all of that would be unethical and illegal. Mom and Dad taught me at an early age not to steal. But we just discovered a new client with this very problem. Their website design firm used the same Meta descriptions from another website – maybe one of its other unsuspecting and otherwise happy clients.

Honest SEO involves crafting original Meta descriptions with the right company attributes and calls to action.

It’s easy to see if you got the wrong Meta set – just read them. Or, try the site:www.westealmetasdaily.com operator and see who else has the nifty descriptions.

After all, who wants duplicate Meta tags that could make a website less unique and potentially trigger lower rankings?

But who would know part of SEO’s underbelly would pull such a stunt? In a supreme example of irony, the design company in question goes out of its way to advocate copyright protections for its own work.

Hopefully the company that handles your website is above board.

That’s how we operate. Too bad others can’t.
