    Hi,

    Are Meta Keywords important now like they were in the past ? If they are not then why we still use them ? And why they were not important now for search engines?

    Thank you

    Of-course .... Meta keywords are very important in On-page optimization. While the search engine robots crawling they will find what your meta keywords are indicating.

    Now Google doesn't give any kind of weightage to Meta Keywords. Meta keywords doesn't play important role in SEO any more.

    They are still important. They are the ones who appear first on search results and they are still crawled by Google right. It still serves as telling Google on what your portal is all about, and what is you portal offering about/ target keywords.

    well meta keyword is still important, this is the basic and foundation of SEO. in some SE's like yahoo and bing.. meta is still useful unlike google, they love contents, link structure and Backlinks. but still google uses Meta Title and Description for Crawling you website through search.

    Description and title is still important, but in terms of Google, meta keywords don't help you. In many instances they can hurt you, as they give your competition a glimpse into your strategy for keywords and how you shape your content.

    I agree that Google doesnt care for keywords anymore as a matter of fact from latest update the most important thing is pure content on page. But if you ask me i think no one exactly knows how Google works 100% so we tend to use all techniques which are proven to work.

    Most search engines no longer rely on meta tags for searching or rankings. However, it's hard to know exactly what the search engines are doing, or what search engines your users might be coming from. Some of the more minor search engines may still use them. It takes very little time to fill out the keyword meta tag, so it's definitely worth it.

    Meta title is important as compared to other meta description and meta keywords.

    Google may not be using it, but Google is not the whole Internet. Keywords are still very important, all kinds of online applications use it, if you're not using keywords you're missing a basic point.

    Meta keywords are important factors of your website because they get crawled by search engine spiders and get indexed as the snipets of our sites.
