But search engines also read the body text. So if you compare your
Spacely Sprockets to Cogswell Cogs on your page, it would turn up
whether or not you put Cogswell Cogs in the meta tags. In this case,
making good use of your page title would be the best way to avoid
misleading (and irritating) Cog-shoppers.
