In ten words or less meta tags are a lot less important than they were because of Google. Still, they affect page rank on other search engines, such as Yahoo, I am told (some contradictory information here). The really brief tutorial is that the most important meta tags are description and keywords. Here is a link:
http://htmlprimer.com/HotTopics/metatags.shtml Be aware that the Title tag and the actual content of the site are at least equally important and that you should make every effort to use very specific targeted language, ie if you sell cat toys use "cat toys" as a descriptor not "cat" and "toy" as you have almost no realistic hope of making it to the top of the ranking of those terms and proably wouldn't want to to anyway as they are looking for something that is not you most likely. hope that helps.
