    Hmm, I only thought meta description is most important.

    anyway, what's better for keywords for the phrase: watch anime online

    watch anime online
    watch, anime, online
    watch anime, online
    or do they all have the same effect?

    Most important is a lot of quality content. If it's not quality stuff for your visitors, the SE's will turn up their noses. Next is your title and description.

    Its very important.All the SEO efforts would depend on Keywords, so one needs to be very sure that relevant keywords are used for the site to rank well in major search engines.However quality content should be the key focus area as mentioned earlier.

    No..you are not compel to use meta tag. but presence of Meta tag can improve your site search ability. The meta tag has there own use, important is Keyword and Description Meta tag, that works. So they are preferred but not mandatory for your site.

    Of course. It's the most important part of your page for better SE ranking. Eventhough, it's not the only factors. There are sooo many factors out there. Am i right?

    No, we can see, many sites get the good traffic/ good position without meta keywords.
    But its good if you are using because Relevant Keyword/Keyword Phrases help in bringing qualified traffic to your site.

    meta keywords are not THAT important. Many websites don't even use META tags.. Theyre becoming outdated in a way...
    You'll want to focus more on building quality links, and creating quality content :)

    I'd still include them meta tags though.. can't hurt!!

    yes, meta keywords are important but not as much as title and decription

    title and description is more important than keywords.

    Sorry, i think some people are confused - meta keywords are not very important at all! They used to be important however these days they are pretty much pointless. Meta descriptions and title tags and h1 tags are VERY important however keyword metadata carries very, very little weight! Have a read of the following article on understanding html meta tags; hopefully it will enlighten a few people!

    These days meta keywords are only good for one thing - letting your competitors know what keywords and phrases you are targetting and attempting to rank for!

    Keywords are important. "<meta name="keywords"" are not important.

    I, like many still use the tag. It only takes a second to add it even on dynamic pages so the answer would be: Use it, Don't put a bunch of spam in it and if it gives you an advantage on any SE that's great.
