transmitting the modified meta-tag data to a second computing-device, wherein the second computing-device is configured for (i) receiving the transmitted modified meta-tag data, (ii) receiving a request for a list of search results based on a set of search terms, (iii) responsive to receiving the request, using the set of search terms and the modified meta-tag data to perform a web search, thereby generating a list of search results, and (iv) transmitting the generated list of search results to a third computing-device.

8. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the threshold amount of requests that are (i) for the web page and (ii) associated with the particular search term comprises a threshold number of requests that are (i) for the web page, (ii) associated with the particular search term, (iii) and received by the first computing-device within a particular period of time.

9. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein modifying the meta-tag data based on the particular search term comprises adding, to a set of meta-tag keywords of the web page, a meta-tag keyword that specifies the particular search term.

10. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein modifying the meta-tag data based on the particular search term comprises increasing a priority level assigned to a meta-tag keyword within a group of meta-tag keywords of the web page, wherein the meta-tag keyword specifies the particular search term.

11. A method comprising:

accessing web-traffic data associated with a web page hosted by a first computing-device, wherein the web page comprises meta-tag data;

using the accessed web-traffic data to determine that the first computing-device did not receive a threshold amount of requests that are (i) for the web page and (ii) associated with a particular search term;

responsive to determining that the first computing-device did not receive the threshold amount of requests that are (i) for the web page and (ii) associated with the particular search term, modifying the meta-tag data based on the particular search term; and

transmitting the modified meta-tag data to a second computing-device, wherein the second computing-device is configured for (i) receiving the transmitted modified meta-tag data, (ii) receiving a request for a list of search results based on a set of search terms, (iii) responsive to receiving the request, using the set of search terms and the modified meta-tag data to perform a web search, thereby generating a list of search results, and (iv) transmitting the generated list of search results to a third computing-device.
