meta tags won't help your site traffic that much, but to add them, I would check with the Yahoo site builder help files to see if they have an option to add meta tags to a webpage.

I just went to the yahoo small business website and did a search for meta:
Yahoo! Help

Then found this page that seems to have some info on how to add meta tags: Yahoo! Small Business

Which exact program are you using? Maybe I sent you to the wrong link.

it yahoo site solutions, not site builder. its the web based program so there is no uploading and all that. seemed easier to me. anyway, any help would be appreciated, though not necessary as i plan to chagne the site in the near future anyway.

Here's the link for instructions on how to add meta tags in sitebuilder.

They were linked to in the yahoo page I linked to above.

	How can I add meta tags to my site? To add meta tags to your web pages, you'll need to use PageBuilder, SiteBuilder, or your own third-party software to build your site. To add meta tags to a PageBuilder page, choose "Page Properties" from the Format menu and enter a title and keywords. In SiteBuilder, you'll find the same tool in the Edit menu. Your third-party software may also offer a shortcut for adding meta tags to your pages; please consult the manufacturer's instructions.

Even if you end up changing your site, hopefully this information will be helpful to someone else in the future who might need to know where to find the META tag tools

okay soudns good, thanks rodney, again.. it appears that you have to use one of the other yahoo programs to add meta-tags, i.e. site builder or page builder. you are right though, this info will come in handy for others im sure.
