    Hey DPers,

    I have a question on how the keyword's meta tag should be set. Firstly, I understand that keywords hold nothing with Google and little with others, but even with a little I'd still like to get it right to increase even the slimmest chance, I mean your already doing the meta description so might as well do keywords :D.

    Basically the question is: Would splitting each word up be better then thinking of phrases that users will search by?

    Example:
    or
    This has been the longest question I have had about keywords and since I created an account on DP I thought I asked for your guys advice.

    Cheers,
    C.Huffman

    Thanks for all the replies guys, I knew that titles (Unique) and meta description were the most important.

    Thanks again,

    First example is fine for meta keywords , ya thats true that Google don't consider meta keywords but many others small search engines consider it.

    I think second example is better for title tag. Title and description tag is important for google.

    Really?

    I thought it would be better to have those original search phrases rather than short words that have very high competition, is it not?
