Stop Words
When performing a search in a search engine like Google or Yahoo, some of the search terms are ignored and the search engine also warns you about this. Why? Because those terms are known to be irelevant to the search, even if they are very often used in the search. These words are known as stop words. The stop words are also ignored when used in Meta tags (Title, Description and Keyword).
