Ugh. Glad you cleared it up. Your demeanor comes off a bit cross, however. "please dont say obvious stuff." --? What does that even mean? I was asking what you meant in my original post. I'm still unsure as to where I am right now.
In any case, the answer to your question is: No, it's pointless. Delete it and move on.
I doubt it hurts (maybe could be considered cloaking but most likely not, right?) but it certainly doesn't help so why have it?
Stick to your title tag and get on with it. There's a reason web developers and SEO minds alike are forgetting this meta tag even exists.
In the future, if we don't know what tag you are talking about we will probably just ask for clarity like I did here this time. The best way to avoid that is to make it clear. A lot of people mistakenly refer to the Title tag as the META TITLE so it can get confusing. Thanks and good luck!

There is almost nothing more important to your onsite SEO than properly optimized title tags. Like seriously...seriously seriously. Cringe.
While you are at it, after you remove your title tags, make sure to add to everyone of your pages. Please don't...I'm kidding.
Please tell me you are joking.

No I am pretty sure Vale meant and Yes Jesse is right, its one of the most important things you can have so yes its very important

The title tag is quite possibly the single most useful piece of on-page optimization you can do... Am I misunderstanding this question?

Site Explorer shows links as followable but they have nofollow tags
Hello, I am looking at site explorer and sites linking to my site moneyfact.co.uk. I've got thousands of links showing as 'followable' but when i check them they have rel="nofollow" tags. e.g: http://www.dianomioffers.co.uk/partner/moneyfacts.co.uk/brochures.epl?partner=93&partner_id=93&partner_variant_id=33 Why would they show as followable when the links are nofollowed? Thanks Steve

Hyphens in Page Titles?
We are using a combination of keywords using our brand name. So the keyword is structure as: brand name - word (separated by a hyphen) When I run a report on the page for the keywords that have the above format, the report tells me that I need to use the keyword in the title of the page. Is it okay to have hyphens in Page Titles? I assume not, but I want to double check. Thanks, Alex

& VS & - Title too long?
It seems that SEO Moz inturprets & as the html ascii character code: & in my titles. This is pushing the titles over the limit by 1 or 2 characters in some cases. Does this matter? does google actually treat & the same way? or is this an SEO Moz bug?

Rel-canonical tag confusion
I had our web development company implement the rel-canonical tag on all pages of our website to get rid of the duplicate content months ago. However, when I use the On Page optimizer tool (in previous version) it would tell me I'm not using the rel-canonical tag correctly on the page I was grading and when I untagged use rel-canonical tag in our CMS (which was pointing to the correct page) my grade would go to an A. Now with the new version it says I'm using it wrong either way, when I have the tag used in my CMS and everything else is good I have a B, but one I click to not use Rel-canonical tag I have a C. Both ways it shows up in On-page tool without a check in Apprpriate Use of Rel Canonical. I've attached pictures. In C version it says - Canonical URL "/info/solutions/" and "/info/solutions/" In B version: Canonical URL "/info/solutions/" What am I doing wrong and how do i fix this? Because ALL of my grades have dropped to Bs and Cs. Thanks! iklEHOjJLZE4966 [URL]]([URL=http://imgur.com/5BYcV][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5BYcV.jpg[/IMG][/URL]) 5BYcV
