Comments on: Google doesn’t use the keywords meta tag in web search http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/keywords-meta-tag-in-web-search/ neat fun stuff Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:30:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mayura4Everhttp://www.mattcutts.com/blog/keywords-meta-tag-in-web-search/#comment-850751 Mayura4Ever Mon, 25 Jul 2011 09:13:22 +0000 http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/?p=3095#comment-850751 I think on the aspect of abusing keywords, this could be good trend for some extent. BTW some search engines use keywords meta tag to index pages and being totally rely upon keywords meta tag sometimes cause misleading users and bad guys to win the competition. Google should not totally ignore meta keywords tag. Unless ethical webmasters may unable to get most out of using keywords on their pages.I hope Google will add keywords variable in a portion of their algorithm to make organic searches to be more fruitful while implementing formula to add less priority or ignore unethical webmasters who have been misusing and stealing keywords to be popular on web search results.Cheers...

Some of those sites also rank well on yahoo so I'm probably thinking meta tags in general are less of a factor determining relevancy.

People have not really been paying much attention to them for a number of years. Its good to get final clarification though. The short answer is that most external search engine (outside of the site) do not use keywords. Meta keywords take such a short time to add to the website, I doubt it will impact any webmaster.
