Thanks for the great article. These are some of the exact same things that I tell my prospective SEO clients when trying to explain some of what we do. 

The thing that is often hardest to sell people on is the meta tag information.  So many people have been wrongly informed that "meta tags make no difference and are not helpful".  However, most also have NO idea what the words "meta tags" actually mean and are just repeating what they heard somewhere else.  That every single page of a website should have it's own unique TITLE tag, among other things, is difficult to make some people believe. 

The TITLE tag is the most important meta tag for SEO purposes, but the description, copyright, and several other meta tags are just as useful to have on your website too!  As a website designer, I have programmed myself throughout the years to always make sure that every site I design has carefully thought out meta tags, and it drives me nuts when I get new customers whose websites have no meta tags, or broken / incorrect tags.  It's such a simple thing, yet it seems that very few do it right!

Okay, done ranting about meta tags now.  Great article  :)
