Beware. The "Aesop Meta Tag" is a proprietary tag of the spider search
engine Aesop - see http://www.aesop.com/about.htm . AFAIK no other
spider or search engine does recognize their meta tag. There's no
documentation on the site what the syntax of the tag would be. To
generate an Aesop meta tag you have to give them your email. Ouch. Me
thinks it's just a rather lame marketing campaign.

I checked http://www.rankwrite.com and http://www.searchenginewatch.com
(IMHO top two SEO resources). Neither of them has mentioned Aesop.

Cheers,
Niklaus.
