    Morning Folks,

    when i look at google adwords keyowrd tool to choose some fine high exact search keyowrds for my buy and sell website, i get somthing like this : "online ads" and "ads online". "free classifieds" and "classifieds free". you see same thing but words are interchanged. what do you recomend me? weather to put only two of both or all 4? but keep in mind, i have found many more good pharses, but most of them have this problem. if i put all of them i might ended up spamming via meta tags. so pls tell on this situations, which once you choose?

    :confused:

    The keyword meta tag is outdated. Put whatever you want, or better yet put nothing. The only instance in which a a modern search engine considers might be if there were too few other signals for the searched phrase. In the case of terms such as "online ads" and "free classifieds" it's not going to come in to play even slightly.

    Yes, Google has stopped using the meta keyword tags in the late 1990's because of spammers that have been stuffing these with keywords that are not relevant to their sites. However, it is still a good idea to fill in the meta description tags since the text that you put there are displayed on the search results.

    It's pretty much irrelevant with Google. Probably still worth doing though, you might get a small amount of traffic from other search engines, directories, etc that do work from meta keywords.

    meta keywords are also important, it will show up when people search from Google, when customer can't love your meta tags in first eye, they won't visit your site at all. No matter whatever, just bring people the right information and the right place the get the information they need.

    Google does not consider meta keywords any more. so, target your keywords in content and build back links on all the different keywords.

    yes I agree with @seoaccount google has stopped using the meta keywords... But other search engines consider it like yahoo, bing. So still it's worth. You can use it wisely. I suggest don't try to do keyword stuffing in meta keyword tag.
