For some reason this one has itself listed: * //www.freelists.org/archives/csdn-sa/11-2002/fullthread2.html This page happens to be listed fourth on anzwers: * http://www.adam.com.au/lloy0076/csdn/ Personally I haven't the faintest idea whether that page has anything to with the Community Software Distribution Network or not. This one is at 9: * http://www.linuxsa.org.au/mailing-list/2002-11/94.html If one gets particularly specific at google with a strange search such as "csdn adelaide" one turns up: * http://www.adam.com.au/lloy0076/csdn/ And none of the sites that happened to cause them to get listed happen to have meta tags. I'd say that a site with a url something like (http://www.airnet.com.au/~ilox/csdn/index.html) has been up long enough to be noticed by some of the search engines but it doesn't seem to have been listed despite its use of meta tags. And a number of mentions in this mailing list whose messages are archived. > > I haven't seen ANY non-text-editor html > > editor produce clean HTML. > > What have you been smoking?

Hardly worth the > effort <G> Look, personally I don't believe that the meta tags make any difference at all to any of the search engines that matter. I might put them back when I happen to organise a more permanent home for the web pages.
