I have never payed much attention to the meta keyword tags for my websites anyways. I think title and url are very important as far as google is concerned.

I’ve got a small company selling studio backdrops and photographic backgrounds. I’ve been playing about with optimisation for a while and
found changing meta tags didn’t make any difference at all. Changing the meta description did!
Meta tags make a difference in Yahoo.

Interested to see what you find, Phil. Have you tried the test yet?

That it is quite bizarre, I would have thought they would some weight towards keywords as this should indicate what the site us about. Yes it can be open to abuse but it also penalises the people who use them correctly.

I’m not so sure that this is true. I think that if you put a nonsense word into a meta keyword tag and nowhere else, the page will eventually show up in Google when you do a search for that word. Just about to try it and see.

Thats quite interesting, especially the bit about using the meta description if it’s good, how do they detect if it’s good???
