currently i use a wordpress plugin and add a few (5-10) keywords to my posts relevant to the blog post but i wonder if keywords are of any use for search engines. With keywords stuffing and other blackhat keyword methods for seo, keywords are no longer as useful as i've read in several places. Should i continue placing keywords in my posts? not including them would save me a lot of time as my blog is pretty much a directory and i add several posts a day. Please share your thoughts. thanks.
I think it is still worthwhile if you want traffic from MSN & Yahoo. Google does ignore this tag though.
