I've used:
Meta Tags
Title
Description, etc..

Everyone always have been saying that content is the KEY. If I were to take some of the content off the pages (word by word) and copy and paste the text to google or other search engines, then how come my site still doesn't show up. No other site will have the EXACT contact (ok.. maybe few however not hundreds of them!!!) So, the question is, even if the content is there, and if I were to conduct a search with the exact content (not whats in the keywords), then how come the site still doesn't come up?

Content is for getting your site high in the ranks. Meta is just for getting a description. To see if you have been listed on one of the major engine search for site:http://www.yoursite.com/
