@joseph101Mar 13.2014 — #A geo tag is the process of associating a geographical location with web page content. The webmaster can insert precise geographic coordinates in the code contained in a Meta tag which will tell search engines of an exact location
@bhuvi321Mar 14.2014 — #As far as I know geo tags are electronic tag that assigns a geographical location to a photograph or video, a posting on a social media website, etc. We can put location based keywords in these tags, so the optimization becomes more target/location based.

@sudiptoMar 14.2014 — #I think geo tag is the process of associating a geographical location with web page content.It is a way to add geographical meta data to photos, RSS feeds, and websites.A geotag can define the longitude and latitude of the tagged item. Or it can define the location place name or regional identifier. It can also include information such as the altitude and bearing.
@Karan_SinghMar 18.2014 — #Geo tags are useful for those searching for a particular business such as a painting contractor. It is important to find one in a specified locality so that they can perform their services. Geo tags are added into the code to the header of the site or blog.
