I learnt the hard way that wordpress does not allow meta tags any more after downloading the plugin several times and spending a few hours looking for where to upload it. So although I agree that meta tags help, my hands here are tied and it seems, so are other bloggers, so here we need to work on links links and more quality links and content, of course.
