There are several Tags you can use. I will list the important ones here.
EXPIRES: Some of your viewers may not see the latest version of your site. This is because their browser had cached your page when they visited last. You can use the EXPIRES tag to force the browser to load the page again.
AUTHOR: Nice to use this one.
KEYWORDS: Using keywords makes it easy for a search engine to categorise your site. Here is an example, on one my pages, I talk about Kim il Jong - the North Korean Dictator. Here is what I use as keywords.
<meta name="Keywords" content="Kim il Jong, North Korea, Pyongyang, Evil, Communist, Dictator">
DESCRIPTION: In addition to Keywords, some search engines look for the description of the page. Fill this up with few lines describing your page.
If you want to fill in the META TAGS using Dreamweaver, Select Insert > HTML > Head Tags
