Is there a module that handles meta tags?

Question

Which, if any, Drupal 6 modules handle meta tags?

Answer 1

There are 2 modules that handle meta tags: Nodewords, and Integrated Metatags.

They are two different modules with different purposes. While the first allow any user to set the meta tags for nodes, or user profiles, the second allows to the administrator users to change the meta tags (it uses a custom permission).

If then you ask which module is better, I can report that the first is currently not developed; in fact the actual maintainer is looking for a new maintainer. The second module is still maintained, and the last update has been done on January of this year. Both the modules don't have a version for Drupal 7. If you are planning to pass to Drupal 7 (which should have a first official release in the next months — where by official release I mean a release that is not a beta, nor a release candidate version), then I would wait to adopt one of those modules to see if they will be ported to Drupal 7.
