Google ignores meta keyword...

Just thought that this article would be interesting to a few

 

Why did they show you how to make them.

 

I dont have proof but I think google doesnt ignoer the meta keywords. I had a site that was just sitting there with nothing on it except for a meta tag i was working on for a different site (i didnt wanna save it to a note file on my work computer so i saved it to that site that wasnt doing anything)
After about 4 months I noticed some traffic to it. (never submitted it anywhere...total blank site except meta) I was getting traffic meant for a porn site and this sites URL had nothing to do with porn. So somehow it was indexed by google....

 

But according to this article google still utilised Meta description.

 

Yes I found that interesting as well. Google handing out misinformation?

 

I had my site without any meta before, and it ranked pretty well... I added both now and the idea behind is this: descriptions are good for humans, since they see what page is about etc. Keywords help with yahoo - so don't ignore them, they are still important

 

Good point...other search engines still utilize these tags.

 

This is old news
