    Well meta keywords are no more important that what i can conclude after all my research that google and other important SE's dont give importance to your meta tags now, probably yyou should read this google official blog post about meta keywords. googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html

    Meta keywords aren't important to Google, the title tag and the description tag are still used but only really play a minor role in SEO. You should still use them though, if only for a better user experience.

    It's good you've brought this out. Just be very careful on how you use the metakeywords. How you use them determines whether they work for you, whether in SEO, content creation, readability and getting your purpose across to achieve your goal. One will distinguish a well written article from one that is used to include a certain number of metakeywords. My take on this.. take time to include them so that they flow with the rest of the text.. And yes, they are very important.

    I don't think.. Title tags and Description tags they're shown on SERPs and not keyword tags.

    Now a days there is no any importance of Meta Keywords, Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask give the importance only TITLE and Meta Description only. We still use Meta Keywords because it is a trends and why the search engines not giving importance to meta keywords because search engine providers realized that information stored in meta keywords attribute, was often unreliable and misleading, and at worst, used to draw users into spam sites. So they introduce such Algorithms to avoid the keywords.
    You can experiment about this if you have a site, just remove the meta keywords for a week, then analyze the SERP result.

    As some have said above, Meta keywords haven't been used in years. However, the title and description tags ARE important and often DO show up in the search results.

    Meta keywords won't help. You should write engaging, meaningful content on a technically well optimized platform and get good links and social engagement. That's what builds great rankings, meta keywords have nothing to do with it.

    Meta tags in general are very important. But meta keywords - forget about them.

    Google doesn't pay as much relevance to them as the other search engines, but doesn't mean you should leave them out completely

    Not at all. META KEYWORDS aren't important for Google anymore. I doubt if it was important even someday.
