Google ignores the Meta Keywords tag, do we?

5:43 PM

I have been following many SEO forums and Blogs, I would like to share a key discussion on Meta Keywords Tag.


Even Though Google Ignores the Meta Keywords Tag, Do we (SEO Webmasters) afford to ignore this tag? Do any of the other Search Engines recognize the Tag?

The Meta Keywords tag has been explicitly ignored by the Search Gods - both Google and Bing. So they are ignoring this tag in the process of Ranking Algorithm or Search Results Algorithm. But I always recommend using Meat Keywords Tag because -

* It helps you identify the keywords you are targetting

* It helps the content creators to know on what keywords they need to draft the content

* It helps you make quick changes to the targeted keywords

* Finally it won't hurt you

You have to use this tag wisely by including only the targeted keywords of that page, Do not stuff all the keywords of the website. Do nto forget that the other Meta, Header tags - especially the Title, H1 / H2, and Meta Description tags are very very important.

Hope this helps!
