Meta Keywords

In seo positioning Meta Keyword is so much important factor.

A Bastian of crap and unethical search engine optimization companies - the meta - keywords tag. How many crap seo companies mention cleaning and optimizing this tag in their presentations? Companies what waste time on these waste clients money.

<meta name="keywords" content="seo, search engine optimization, optimization">

I have one piece of advice with the meta keyword tag, which like the title tag, goes in the head section of your web page, forget about them.

If you are relying on meta-keyword optimization to rank for terms, your dead in the water. From what I see, google + Bing ignores meta keyword - or at least places no weight in them to rank pages. Yahoo may read them. but rally, a seo has more important thing to worry about than this nonsense. 

What about other search engines that use the? Hang on while I submit my site to those 75,000 engines first . Yes, 10 years ago search engines liked looking at your meta-keywords. I've seen Opus in forums ponder which is the best way to write these tags - with commas, with spaces, limiting to how many characters. Forget about meta-keyword tags - they are a pointless waste of time and bandwidth. Could probably save a rain-forest with the bandwidth costs we save if everybody re

moved their keyword tags.

So you have a new site ...... you fill your home page meta tags with the 20 keywords you want to rank for - hey, that's what optimization is all about, isn't it? You've just told Google by the third line of text what to sandbox you for and wasn't meta name ="Keywords" originally for words that weren't actually on the page that would help classify the document? Sometime competitors might use the information in your keywords to determine what you are trying to rank for, too ...................

If everybody removed them and stopped abusing meta keywords Google would probably start looking at them but that's the way of thing in search engines. I Ignore them. Not even a 'second order' effect, in my opinion.
