Meta Keyword is not important for google

Hello,

i would like to know if meta keyword is imporant ?
i know a website with the same niche that i am using and i check that site coding there wasn't any keyword there, but still that site is on first page and its rank is above my site rank .

second thing i notice that google search engine only show description with site name so how come they read the keyword ?

thanks
waiting for reply

 

No The Meta keywords is not important factor anymore. But still people use this tag because of tell to google that this page is related about these tags.

 

What iamolm said is what I was practically going to say and he is correct. It's not that important anymore.

 

Yup, did away with that several years ago. Google know's better than us what our site's are about : P

 

looks like in few years there will be new theory for the page as far as seo thing related that website is only about content for on page optimization no tag no meta etc

 

Didn't know that, your read on almost every SEO page that it's important...

 

So why many sites including some big sites still using keywords, maybe the keywords are important to other search engines or something?

 

its important, meta description is less important

 

I think meta keywords are still important factors for onpage optimization, you may find some sites ranking above you without meta tags ......... but it is not enough to proof that meta tag not important so far, may be there are some other off page factors working there for rank better for these particular sites.

 

According to Google Webmaster Central Blog, Google doesn't use the "keywords" meta tag in their web search ranking. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html

 

Yes! we can easily say meta tags are not that much important for SEO. Because i have started my blogging in 2 months before and i have never used tags in my website but even Google indexed my pages very quickly.

 

Meta tags only describe the page that what the information page have.

 

1. Meta keywords are not important anymore. It will help competitors to get your targeted keywords. So I recommend to avoid using it. But meta description is still important to increase click rate of your Google listing.

 

Meta tag is not important now. but people are using it coz when we search any thing in Google then title tag will show on top most and in the inner one you can see description in organic search and people who use search engine find easy to go with the site which he is looking for. that's why most top company use it.
Thanks

 

Yes , Key words is not necessary anymore .

 

Google has officially declared that , they no longer take Meta-keyword into consideration.

 

No, Meta Keywords is not imp. for google. But use it becuase some SE consider it.....

 

As per me this is very usefull to improve alexa yesterday i m using this and myalexa goes down and i m getting visitors from google search engine by using this code.

<title></title>
<meta name="description" content="" >
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="3 Days">
<meta name="robots" content="all">
<meta name="googlebot" content="index, follow">
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
<meta name="rating" content="General">
<meta name="distribution" content="global">
<meta name="author" content="">

Code (markup):

and for adsense meta tags helps to getting content related ads.

 

Meta keyword has lost its effectiveness. People do key word staffing, for this the effectiveness is about zero.

 

Yes, Meta Keyword Tag is still important. You can do the experiment by yourself. Try one without the Meta Keyword Tag & see the result.
