Don’t worry about your ‘Keywords’ tag…
September 22, 2009 – 7:13 amGoogle confirms that it doesn’t use the “keywords” meta tag in their web search ranking.
Matt Cutts of Google’s Search Quality Team, says that because the keywords meta tag was so often spammed and abused, they began disregarding the tag years ago and see no need to change that policy.
He stresses however that Google do use other meta tags such as Title, Content-Type & the Description tag as the text for search results snippets.
