Holiday and Vacation Planning

Question:
Why does the Forum section title include "Holiday and Vacation Planning"?
Is this some sort of sponsorship deal?

hi there
i think it's a meta tag (think that's what it's called). web sites use them to increase 'hits' from search engines.

Oddly enough the title in the IE bar at the top comes from what the page is named on the server.
I pulled a bit of the source code out below..
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Holiday and Vacation Planning - Ford Scorpio Forums hosted by the leading ISP for owners and enthusiasts</TITLE>
<META
content="Holiday Flights - New and secondhand, problem advice and solutions from fellow Ford owners - best accessed using Broadband DSL"
name=Descripton>
<META
content="Cheap flights, holidays, planning, exchange rates, Ford, Scorpio, Granada, car,auto,vehicle,repair,mobile phone, ringtones, ring tones, mmf,picture"
name=keywords>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<STYLE type=text/css>A:link {
FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: #005177; TEXT-DECORATION: none
As you can see the page title is definitely Holiday and Vacation planning etc.
The Meta tags are what spiders and search engines use to determine the "content" of a site and you can see those above and they start with cheap flights, holidays..etc and even have ring tones in there
This looks very odd to me, I can't figure out how it could be done by mistake.

Hi,
Sorry to be pedantic, but technically it's not a META tag.
It's the <TITLE> tag, which is not metadata.
My point was - what has holiday planning got to do with Scorpios?
Cheers,
N.

I'm sorry, Vulcan - I'm in Anti-pedantic Therapy, but it's not working as fast as I'd like...
Maybe we could start a thread about Holiday and Vacation Planning... I fancy a Nile Cruise...
