    I just build a new site a a week ago, and added my meta tags as usual. I see no changes in the number of characters that G is indexing.

    A quick browse though the "latest" SERPs doesn't indicate any changes either.

    Where do you get this kind of information? 150? 250? lol. Google indeed has GUIDELINES with regards to character usage but it is certainly not a rule that you should limit them with x amount of characters. What is most important is you make them natural and not just for the sole purpose of spamming your keywords regardless of how many characters you use in your meta tags or title tag.

    There are no "rules" at Google about the title element (which is not a meta tag) and the meta description and meta keyword elements. Only guidelines or suggestions...

    People usually recommend keeping your title element to 65 characters or less in length because if you exceed that, your title gets truncated in the Google SERPs. But Google actually will evaluate and use the entire title for rankings regardless of length. I've run some control tests that proved that keywords at the very end of a title more than 300 characters in length were still used to rank the page.

    The meta descirption should typically not exceed 145-150 characters in length because any longer than that will typically result in your meta description being truncated, assuming you have optimized your meta description in such a way that it is actually chosen by Google as the Google search snippet. However, Google will often show snippets 200, 300, or even 400 characters in length for long tail keyword phrases that consist of 3 or more keywords. So if you are targeting long tail keyword phrases, you can exceed the 150 character guideline. The meta description element is not used by Google to rank pages, but it IS important as it can increase your click-thru-rate in the SERPs if it is chosen to be shown as the search snippet.

    The meta keywords should typically be limited to 5-15 or so keyword phrases. This element is not used at all by Google other than to detect keyword stuffing.
